    I honestly don’t think the problem is that Capitalist’s don’t understand that concept; they very much do.

    They also understand that the money for raising that floor would likely come from taxes on them; and so keeping the floor low means that they can keep even more profit.

    It’s not a lack of understanding. It’s pure unadulterated evil.

        The reason social democracy doesn’t work is because it doesn’t change the power structure. It’s treating a symptom and not the root cause. By leaving the root cause untouched, the symptoms will always come back.
