You know how cities like Los Angeles have hundreds of apartment buildings that have dozens of Mexicans crammed into a one bedroom, like literally 12 people sleeping all over the place, because theyre willing to work below minimum wage? If you think thats a good way for Americans to be living then lets get rid of minomum wage. Because thats what happens.
The Market, left totally unchecked, filters all the money to a very select group of people (that doesnt include you or me either). This isnt a mystery either. In england, france, rome, everywhere thats had this system the result is a massive peasant class and a small aristocracy. No thank you.
The idea of the US as a meritocracy is also a myth. I type this sitting at one of my best friends houses, who lives off money that was earned by a relative in the 1800s whose name he doesnt ever remember without calling his grandmother and asking. No one in his family has worked in over 5 generations.
You are confusing Mexicans slammed in an apartment here in LA with Americans. Two different things. Illegal labor vs Legal labor. It's none of your business what someones' great, great, great grandpa did to provide for his family and future generations. Good for your friend, tell him to break you off some coin. Meritocracy does work, look at Obama,...your left wing friend and his ilk drool over the dude. How about Bill Gates? NFL players? Athletes? Scientists, Engineers, small business. The "problem" is it doesn't work for everybody, welcome to life.
