“=” means “same.” If they had a brain and a mind, they would know that they are asking for everyone to have the same income, regardless of anything.
Anyone who thinks that is an a$$hole.
Why study to become a doctor and work long hours with no sleep when the subway ticket taker gets the same salary as you?
The dems who want this are hypocrites. They are never going to give up the life of luxury that they have voted for themselves.
You are 100% on target - the company I work for is trying to train young people for skilled positions - machinists, welders, electricians, etc. Few of the 20 year olds are interested. They are taking temp jobs just to have money in their pocket and be able to walk away when they don’t feel like working. But they want the same pay as a trained skilled worker. It is a screwed up mess.
Good points.
This touches on, why do different jobs have different pay scales.
My boss makes twice as much as I do. Yet she has greater responsibilities, a higher level of education, etc. to qualify to do that job. Is this really a matter of inequality, if a more difficult job pays more? Is this what the liberals and various millennial youth think?
The same is true throughout our capitalist economy. People in higher level jobs get paid more. People with specific skills get paid more, because not anyone off the street can do their jobs. Is that a matter of being unequal?
Young people can see many real world examples, of attempts to make things more equal. Check out Venezuela, Cuba, the old Soviet Union and former Warsaw pact countries, China before the free market reforms, etc. People were more equal, but they were equally poor and struggling to survive at a basic level. I’m sure these millennial youth really don’t want to live themselves at some subsistence level.
