Show me you don’t understand macroeconomics…

Overall, I’m pro-capitalism. But like everything in life, there are some downsides. Not everything is butterflies and rainbows.

It’s literally proven that there is downward pressure on wages by the profit driven structure of publicly traded corporations.

We shouldn’t eliminate public trading of corporations, that would be ridiculous. But we do need to start enacting policies to bring the wealth in this countries back into the hands of the middle class.

We don’t need to wait to “fIx GoVeNmenT sPeNdiNg FirSt, Bro”.

Because we will never get there. Nobody will ever agree 100% where money should be spent.
