If these people weren’t insanely stupid, they’d notice that under Kennedy, when the minimum wage was “$1.25”, because it was paid in silver, it was actually worth $35 today.
From there, if they had TWO BRAIN CELLS to rub together, which they don’t, they’d ask who degraded the value of our money and exported our economy overseas, and what steps we could take to fix that and ask who the participants in the fraud were and how we should hold them accountable.
Then, if they were really smart and self-aware, WHICH THEY AREN’T, they’d ask who the asshole was that had them asking for HALF the 1960’s minimum wage, and why the 1960’s minimum wage probably isn’t currently feasible economically, and what steps we need to do to fix that.
BUT THEY WON’T DO ANY OF THAT BECAUSE THEY’RE INSANELY STUPID.
Taxes are progressive. The more you make, the higher % of income you have to pay to the tax man. What better way to collect more revenue than by devaluing money so people have to work second jobs to make ends meet? Also, by taxing things like sales of goods and property, that is all the more money that needs to be earned to cover costs and could bump up that % the tax man takes even more! It's an insidious circle of schemes for the government to enrich itself.

Quintuple whammy:
I was only thinking inflation with that comment, but yeah it’s way worse than that.
But they won't do any of that because they are insanely stupid.
Definitely hit the nail on its head.
