Trump from tonight's debate.
"wages are too high"
I seriously hope he clarifies this or backtracks
he prob. meant min. wage.
min wage destroys jobs that would otherwise teach our kids responsibility and life lessons. instead we have niggers trying to live off kid jobs and demanding $15 an hour while our kids stay home on xbox all day.

He was saying how he wants the US to compete with the rest of the world. I guess making Americans get paid China tier.
>>55427954
he meant salaries for people who arent contributing or producing.

Wages are too high you fucking idiot.
Americans expect $15/hr for fast food while the rest of the world works for pennies a day. WE. CAN'T. COMPETE.

No shit we can't compete.
In the US, you have to pay your bills using one of the most powerful currencies in the world. You get paid wages in this currency. You buy goods with this currency.
There is no possible way Americans can get paid "competitive" wages when the dollar dominates the market. You would be getting paid pennies a day to live in a market that expects thousands of dollars a month.

I hope this is his in for protectionism. He's right that wages are too high with the current system because free trade is a race to the bottom. We will equalize with Chinese peasants if the globalists continue with their schemes.
Wages are too high.
So implement a maximum wage.

if i get paid pennies a day ill just expect a welfare boost from ppl who sit on their ass all day and make millions

I'd rather have a standard of living above "third world shithole" than be "competitive" with places like fucking India and Russia. If all you have to offer is labor, you don't really have a very stable economy in an era of automation. China and Russia are already beginning to falter economically, in a decade they'll be no obstacle at all.
>>55427954
Well it's taken out of context so I hope he does clarify.

Capital and labor are substitute. This is literally a more than hundred year old observation. If you can use 10 people to the job of one machine and it's cheaper, you'll do it.

You didn't even understand his post, you fucking moron.
>>55428527
yea at least in america our labor is semi intelligent unlike the bumbling idiots in china or russia
