It's obvious that the cost of goods are rising at break neck speeds while wages are rising similarly to the speed at which mountains rise. My concern is if everyone demands higher wages won't the corporations we work for just increase the prices of the goods we are struggling to afford?
Should the lower and middle classes be fighting for a lower cost in goods?
For example you work for a grocery store and finally get your employer to increase your wages. The top management is just going to increase the cost of products to balance out your higher wages rendering your increase pointless when you buy groceries.
Whenever I see arguments for higher minimum wage this is what I think about. I don't see why companies can't pay minimum wage workers a fair, livable income and not have extremely high prices on products that make them massive profits.
No I'm not an socio-economic expert. Just a blue collar working man wishing for a more even world.
