I bow to the intellectual superiority of this argument. May I use it in the future? All credit will be given to you as its intellectual creator of course.
The United States is a low-wage nation

So you want to inflate wages?
You are happy with 30 years of flat wages?

It was a question, not an argument. That is why you were so blown away.

I'm happy with the wages that skilled labor produces. It's certainly not my fault that people have chosen unskilled professions.

Let's examine Kennys lil idea for a second.
Suppose the company in question is McDonalds. Are you saying that the wages of the unskilled workers (fry cooks, non-managerial staff, distritution workers, Ect.) should be raised to a level, say of the district manager? Why, when the skill of said manager is far less replaceable than the ultimately dispensable fry cook? That's artificial inflation and ultimately leadds to nothing good.

Why should a CEO or major investor pay taxes at a lower rate than the rest of America?
I am glad you are happy. Half the people who live in your city wish they had a job like you.
I feel bad for you though, in that you don't know the actual value the dollars you accept should have.
If you did, you wouldn't be happy.

Well, again, they want skilled wages for unskilled or obsolete work. But what is this supposed 'real' value? I'm most intrigued.
You should be able to buy a lot more beers with your paycheck.

I can buy A LOT of whatever I want with my paycheck.
employers decry the lack of educated workers, not low wage migrant workers - a false straw man again

He's right, at least as far as manufacturing is concerned.

US employers want educated workers but to pay them as if they were unskilled and uneducated. Greed is the word for them.

I would personally recommend that the workers seize control of the means of production, but that's just me.
If they do not inflate at the same rate as the things we buy our effective wages drop.
So yes they should keep pace with other inflation or our lifestyles drop.
