Neo Slaves
The Neo Slaves of America are of all races. We are a society divided by many issues, but the one that divides us the most is wealth. We have deep discussions about minimum wage, welfare, immigration, and the likes. These issues stem from one major issue that we neglect to do anything about. The income gap. We talk about welfare being a problem, but we don't drill down to the root cause. Why is there so much welfare? Can a family make it on minimum wage? What is the cost of living?
Without diving into the numbers, lets just say that its an absolute fact that a family of four can not make it on minimum wage alone. This is where welfare comes into play. If we had a minimum wage that was based on the equilibrium of the market, our welfare system wouldn't be such an issue. By pushing people into poverty with such low minimum wages, they become nothing more than the neo slaves of America. They don't have the money to appropriate in the economy, and they struggle to make it every single day. Most of the jobs available are servant type jobs. Cooking, cleaning, serving, waiting, can you see the pattern? Its slavery on a massive scale. Get up, go to work, go home broke, go to bed, and wake to start all over again. The extra money that's saved by business owners on labor only helps widen the divide.
The rich have excess money to use to make more money. This ensures they stay on top. The poor only sink deeper in debt. Leaving nothing to pass on to their children. The rich leave legacies. The rich go to college. While much of the poor are pushed into the work force to survive at young ages. The cycle continues.
Until America can elect the right people into office (Liberals). The majority of America will become the Neo Slaves of America.
