They're quietly pushing the fatalist idea that someone's always got to be poor, and giving them more money will magically cancel out. Like, exactly, to the cent. These people think doubling wages at McDonald's will instantly double the price of a burger, as if all of that money goes right into the cashier's pocket.
They are not just slandering when people get paid more. They are pretending that's what causes inflation. As if paying people more does not work. Quoting a living cartoon I argued with on the other site, "it will put us right back in the exact same situation."
And it's really insidious when you realize that having this many poor people is horrible for the economy as we have a system that is reliant on consumers with no one who can afford to consume....
