Why there is the working poor and solutions

Why there is the working poor and solutions. We recommend that you look at the table at the sub heading ‘Real life effects of cost of living’ first before reading the article ‘Why there is the working poor and solutions’ for a better understanding of the gravity of the problem.

Why is there the working poor?

The working poor is a group of people who are employed but can not afford the basics: Housing, Clothing, Food, Entertainment, Education, Healthcare, Energy and transportation.

So why do we have the working poor? Here are the reasons we will discuss in this article: Woman entering the work force, Social programs and Government tax, Credit system, Minimum wage and Cost of living. Each of those contributed to the working poor. We recommend reading : “Modern Feudalism vs Socialism vs Free Market Capitalism vs Community Capitalism”

Woman entering the work force

Wages use to be set by business using the supply and demand principle; this drove how much the employer will pay the employee. When woman entered the job market, the supply of workers doubled, but need for workers remained the same. This is where the whole system became broken and the wealth gap started to grow. Mostly because the leaders of the world never address the problem and updated the system, from Capitalism to Community Capitalism, instead they started to push Socialist Programs and Free market Capitalism, both historically known for Elites enslaving the population.

Social programs and Government tax

When ever a government adds a social program the government acts as the middle man, resulting in higher costs. Nothing is free the money comes from somewhere and normally it comes from you in the form of tax. When a government tax your income you have less money to spend, When the government tax business owners, they increase their profit margins so guess who is actually paying business tax? You. When governments increase sales tax or value added tax, it increases the cost of the products and serves Guess who is paying that? You. All the countries that offers free healthcare and free education, offers serves which is more expensive then it should be, and the average person is paying for it, reducing the money they have to spend on other things, and if your at the bottom, you become a member of the working poor.

Credit system and Cost of living

Credit allows serve providers and retailers to sell goods and serves at a higher price. Example: historically you could work as a waitron and pay your way thou collage, since the US government introduced student loans, it became to expense to work your way thou collage, because it became to expensive. This is true for everything which can be bought on credit. Increasing the cost of living.

Minimum wage and Cost of living

Inflation acquires every year and because of this the cost of living increase every single year. Yet minimum wage is not adjust according to real inflation every year. Slowly year by year new employees are more poor then the last. This mean year on year every new generation can spend less money, which means slowly year by year the nations total buying power decrease and as a result every year it becomes more difficult to start a new business, which results in a slow decrease in the amount of people making up the middleclass. The larger the middleclass the healthier the economy,

Real life effects of cost of living

This is a study done in South Africa from 2004 till 2023. Products and starting salaries are all taking from the same companies, and the same brands. South Africa has a massive wealth gap thus the perfect study.

That is how the working poor came to be, as you can see from the study above, same company same position, same brands at the same retailers. Year on year the new lower level employees has less buying power, the reason being is that the profit made from the product sold is added to share payouts and senior management while very little is added to the low level enter positions.

The profit margins remain the same so the money coming in increase, but only a small amount of that increase is paid to new low level employees.

Working poor and solutions

So how do we fix the working poor? The easiest way to fix this is to fix the minimal wage, this however can result in a few businesses closing down and inflation. This is needed as the upper-class salaries must be frozen and lose value, while the lower class salaries increase to a acceptable level here are the steps which can be used:

Federal wide credit system

In order to sell a product on credit you must rent a license from the federal government, giving credit with out this license will be illegal and punishable by law. All credit providers must be on a national system, where they can see how much the client earns, how much debt they have, and if its legal to approve credit for this client. This gives control over the amount of debt people have and thus reduce defaults, and irresponsible borrowing and lending practice.

In our article ” Cashless Society: How to and Human rights laws ” we will discuss a possible way to reset all private debt state debt and federal debt to zero.

Tax reform

The federal government can not tax a citizen, only states can tax citizens. 10precent of state revenue goes to the federal government. The license to provide credit is paid to the federal government. The federal government can tax exports, imports, international money transfers and international business deals.

The sates can only apply a specific set of tax’s and citizens can not be held accountable if these tax’s are not paid, it is the responsibility of the employer and share trader to deduct it before paying the employee or share holder. This reduces the amount of tax collectors a state needs and thus saves the state money. This is capitalism not socialism, the running cost must remain low to increase the buying power of citizens and their standard of living.

Business tax is 100persent of turnover it is reduced when the business meets specific criteria.

Education reform

The government does not pay educational fees or provide loans. The minimal wage system and business tax system deals with the payment of education. The state must have the right to limit how much a education establishment may charge per student, in order to prevent over charging.

Medical reform

The government does not provide medical aid or pay anyone’s medical fees. The minimal wage system and business tax system deals with the payment of medical aid. The state must have the right to limit how much a medical establishment may charge, how much a healthcare professional provider may charge, the cost of medication older then 10years from the provider, and medication older then 10yrs form the manufacture in order to prevent over charging.

Business Tax credits

Business tax is 100persent of turnover, the reason is simple business has to be forced to employee people and not AI. The idea that business can use AI and Tax can be used to pay citizens are really dumb. Why is it dumb, like most ideas that come from people acting out side of the area of expertise this idea like 15min cities has some serious issues. The business has to rent or buy the AI, this is a extra expense. The AI will need maintenance and upkeep. Raw materials cost money. Now you add tax to it to pay citizens and government running costs.

Your pay will be worth very little and everyone will be members of the working poor, many will work to live on the streets.

The spending power of the population will be very low, many business and Elites will go broke. Money makes money, the more money people have the more money a business will make from the population, the less spending power the population has the less money business will make.

If you suck at math and still do not get it ask yourself this, will children go to school if they will never work? How save do you think is a society of uneducated people are?

Imports control

No electronic and transport maybe imported fully assembled, it must be assembled locally.

Import Tax punishment for countries who under pay citizens.

Working Hours

Excluding emergency, military, intelligence personal, part time workers/students and young nursing moms working/students.

The term employee is any person who works at a company, and own less then zero to 1% of that company.

Minimal wage standard per state

The purpose of minimal wage in a capitalist society is to ensure that every single employee can afford the basics in life: Food, accommodation, medical care, children, clothing, energy, transportation and entertainment. The government pays for nothing. Business and personal income pays for everything. As soon as the government pays for something it becomes more expensive, because the government acts as a middle man, and innovation decrease because government has no competitors, which force it to do better to attract more customers. That is why capital societies are generally more develop and countries like China continually steals technology from the west.

If you can not afford food, accommodation, medical care, children, clothing, energy, transportation and entertainment; and you are employed you are a slave and many in the world today are slaves.
