Stop falling for big business lies and fighting for lower wages

People think lowering wages creates more jobs I got news for you its doesn't and it can even do to opposite. This might should weird to you that is because the media is owned and run by big businesses and they will only ever tell you what advantages them. The proof is in this graph look at production levels to wages over the years this is what happened when you believe what the media tells you.

How does a higher wages create jobs?
Ill use a simple example, so keep in mind that the numbers are just simplified for the example.
If you need $800 a week to survive that means the average person needs to work 40 hours a week at $20 an hour to make $800. I use 40 hours a week as the maximum time someone should have to work to earn enough money to survive because more hours then that is extremely unhealthy both physically and mentally, no one should have to work until you are unhealthy.

Maybe there arnt enough jobs unemployment is at 10 percent, which is very high. So people will say if we cut wages it will create more jobs, so we do we cut them by 50% to $10 and hour. All of a sudden labour is cheap so yes it will defiantly create more jobs. Yes more jobs we solved the problem yay not so fast have we really created more jobs? If you need $800 a week to survive and now you make $10 an hour well your not just going to die are you? Your going to do what is necessaries to survive, this means your going to need to work 2 times more and your going to then get anthor job. So we haven't solved anything just made people work more hours for less money. Meaning bigger profits for the companies.

People will till you we have to cut wages or businesses will automate, they will have to cut staff or they will have to charge more. Well I got news for you they will automate as soon as its possible so no matter what the wage is the job will go anyway.

Cut staff? why would a business hire more staff then needed? They don’t they will hire what they need regardless of the wages.

Charge more? Well considering most of the lowest pay jobs are in the fast food industries do we want to keep these jobs? Fast food is killing us who cares if its goes we are trading jobs for extremely poor health with obesity levels so high it will be a blessing is descise.

Offshoring work? $20 an hour $10 an hour its not going to make a difference if the person overseas will work for $1 dollar an hour.

Yes its way more completed then this but at the end of the day its not far off from what im saying. So stop being stupid and sticking up for lower wages. If you think high minimum wages don’t work well look at Australia we here have probably the highest minimum wage in the world at around $19.50 an hour with 10% retirement fund on top of that, this also includes 10 days public holidays, 20 days holidays and 10 days sick pay. And unemployment is at around 5 %, we still have fast food and everyone earns enough money to survive. I write this post as unfortunately this is slowly changing. Im not on minimum wage I have a good job that is in high demand but I don’t want to see people be poor so the rich can get richer.
