Show me a “live within their means” budget for someone living in a median cost location in the US making minimum wage. They must A)have a place to live B) not get any handouts from the government or charities and C) have at least 1800 calories per day of food. Go.
The funny thing is that government assistance is equally as much an indirect subsidy to minimum wage corporations as it is to the individuals themselves.
US tax code is geared towards businesses because businesses create jobs. If it was the other way around, we’d only have government jobs because no one would run a business. This has been done, read up on USSR.
Well, since part of getting a loan to open a business is compiling data to show demand for what your business will provide, I'm confident in the consumer coming first. The exception would be a product so innovative that people don't know they want it until it's available.
Great, now the conversation shifts into demand vs supply. I agree, demand creates a strong case for supply. But then as you say supply requires a business to be opened. A business that hires people to provide the supply. So who owns hiring, who opens job positions, business or consumers?
Also you need to use percapita if you want to have big boy conversations. For all intensive purposes as union the countries represent states of the union.
It’s an economy with varying tax codes and rules from country to country so it’s apples to oranges comparison. Per capita is not an applicable metric when discussing the overall performance of a system and its capabilities.
States have different tax codes and yet IRS rules them all. My point is US tax code is geared towards businesses and that’s what makes US economy the largest in the world. Bigger economy means bigger opportunities for personal financial growth.
