There is no answer to this problem. There is a huge amount of unskilled work that needs to be done but is not worth big money so you have low paid workers. If you tax the skilled workers to supplement the unskilled, then you remove the incentive to gain skills and move up the ladder. We can't all be middle class garbos.

It is a competitive situation and the sooner people realise that the better chance they have. Govt needs to try to give everyone a chance to build their skills but the responsibility to do the work rests with the individual.

Equal opportunity. The disadvantaged being able to gain market power through education etc that aids their 'employ-ability'. In America, education costs as much as a House does here and the wages of the disadvantaged doesn't allow them the time and money to gain those skills to put them into higher income jobs.

Socialists are interested in equal opportunity, not Republicans!
I don't know if socialism is the answer Stiffo
How come there is still poverty while the Democrats are around?
 
Well trying to curb illegal immigration (which suits your average neocon due to cheap labour) which is currently driving wages down in the US is a good start, as well as trade protectionism.

I'd rather a guy be in control who's self made than a bought and paid for crook like Hillary, or a clueless imbecile like Sanders (economically illiterate and career politician, never actually worked a real job). Republicans have Trump to thank that there is actually a viable candidate this time around, otherwise I daresay it would have been another Bush having a go.

I'm not a Socialist. I am, what I think you were referring to in your quote to me, 'middle of the road'. Neither Right or Left Wing. The days of 'middle of the road' Politicians like Keating, Blair (and even Howard) have gone. Obama is 'middle of the road' only because the U.S.'s non-compulsory voting system favours Republican's (as Studies show the poor and less educated are more likely to not vote unless forced to - thats why Conservative parties always want non-compulsory voting). Therefore Democrats in the U.S. have to sit further to the Right than our Labor party does.

Keating had a great philosophy, freedom of the market but a helping hand for the disadvantaged. Sadly, he couldn't keep it all together. Howard was similair, but he did have Abbott pushing a right wing agenda.

Change in America will take generations. Firstly they need to introduce compulsory voting, but it 'ain't gunna happen!'. The U.S. is sadly a very unfair society.
 
Im a national socialist....................and a socialite.

You'd be a Bill Clinton fan wouldn't you Grunta?

would never happen, is un-american.

i think compulsory voting is bullshit, should have the right not to take part in elections if you so choose.
 
You do. Just tick your name off and don't fill out the voting form.

Non compulsory voting gives candidates incentives to avoid campaigning to demographics that don't fit their typical voter model.

Sadly, that attitude is quite common.

He's a question you'd know the answer to better than most here. Imagine what type of insider information Trump would have access to if he becomes President??? Bet his wealth skyrockets after his stint as President, if he wins. As can be seen from that Documentary I posted on page 1, Trump is quite an unethical person.



Anyway, if he wins I suspect Trump will just be Clive Palmer 2.0. Eventually Trump will be embroiled in scandal after scandal. Imagine his last few years in Office, fuck me.

i may be wrong but im pretty sure any private business interests need to be put into a blind trust if you hold an office like that, but yes he will no doubt benefit as do most members of congress/senate etc considering its not illigal for members of congress to trade on policy info that is not public.

Trump can thank his "self made" weath to his fathers cash and connections.
 
Turning a small fortune into a large one is still an impressive feat.
According to even his own statements of his weath, no doubt inflated, his increase in wealth hasn't outdone the US stock market over the last 30 years. He isn't that great a businessman.
