Minorities. CEO pay. Politics and money, and stuff.

Responses to posts in Friends’ page/s.


WHEN they say "minorities," would that mean those who are non-whites? The poorest would be either the Native Americans or blacks. Or would that be the illegal migrants whose presence doesn't really affect the U.S. economy more than they heighten partisanship squabbles in the legislature? 



       Anyhow, the highest income group per household are the Asian Americans, not the whites. Meanwhile, the problem area/s aren't really the CEO/boss pay compared with the lowly employee. 

       First, the economic well-being of America is based on its political structure or governmental system (also, corporations are private entities as opposed to state-owned etcetera). Second, an elected leadership and a bipartisan Congress can actually fix that rich/poor discrepancy, narrow it at least. But they don't. 

       Then we go to how the rich fund the PAC campaign money of presidential or political candidates. True, the richest man (Elon Musk) supports Donald Trump but weeks or 2 months ago (?) Kamala Harris has already raised her campaign fund to over $1+ billion, breaking Joe Biden's PAC dough in 2020. Of course that money came from the rich, mostly. So we talk of quid pro quo and then we go to why the boss's salary exponentially spikes while the minimum wage stays $7.25. ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ—ฝ๐Ÿ›
