    I agree that income inequality doesn't help, but you can't just allow thievery and lawlessness.

    How does income inequality cause people to steal? Elon Musk having more money than me doesn't make me want to go out and steal things.
    I don't go out and steal either.

    I'm not an expert, but if the $7.25 federal minimum wage had been raised since 2009, that wouldn't hurt.

    An experienced pipefitter makes $70,000 a year or more. Any pipefitter that votes for a dem is a moron and should have his license revoked. Not one leftard here on the Pump gives a sh*t about trade jobs. Neither does the vast majority of dem politicians. Just don't call them snobs.

    I think that income inequality is a red herring quite honestly

    I don't care if the minimum wage gets raised but that isn't going to get anyone equal with anyone who has skills and a good job let alone the "rich"

    Tell people the wonders of hard work and a useful education in a skill that is in demand and they can live comfortably unless inflation and high taxes takes it all away

    The preaching of victimhood and the rich are stealing your money is the foundation of the lawless looting and wanton destruction we are looking at today

    There isn't anyone working in the Bay Area that's being paid that MW. Fast food jobs are paying $20 an hour.

    Local car wash, take the money and push the button and then having nothing else to do with the car wash paying $17 an hour plus benefits.

    The biggest pressure on the lower middle class isn't Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg per se, it is their support along with most dems for open borders and chain migration that brings in low skilled uneducated aliens that require extensive public support and undermine American wages.

    Great example. Stealing is wrong, but your comparison is retarded.

    You think Musk being a billionaire somehow effects you?

    I don't understand your point
