> The "downside" of having good paying, high quality, stable jobs is the existence of billionaires. This correlation doesn’t exist.
Billionaires also exist where people have low paid, low quality jobs. Often the billionaires are also shareholders of those companies. So while they paid billions in dividends they also said the job guarantees are gone because 5 billions are missing. It weren’t the workers who botched the development of new series but neither the management nor the shareholders feel the consequences. And it isn’t only VW. Also BMW and Mercedes. Right wing parties often complain about social security payments as unearned income, what are dividends and why do the shareholders pay less taxes on that income as the workers who actually build the products? Billionaires are a symptom of a skewed economy where one side gets more and more of the wealth while the middle class is told it’s because of the lower class, unemployed and refugees |
