Aged Indifference

I am 73 years old, retired, survived a 3 bypass artery heart attack, continuing to survive the attack of two cancers in my body and I don't give a damn anymore about politics and thinking that politics does what is right for the American People.  Nothing is farther from the truth...

Both Republicans and Democrats only care about getting re-elected and now the Democrats only care about making sure that they control politics for the next several DECADES...

We have the same problems today that we had during the 1960's...

for example:
  • Racism
  • White Privilege
  • Education
  • Poverty
  • Wealth gap
  • Overseas wars
  • Global hated of America
  • Immigration

Being OLD and RETIRED whatever happens in politics does not really impact me or my wife anymore...  but, it does impact all those who are still working and those who are in high school or in college.  It will be these people who will be impacted by the unintended consequences of what is taking place in 2021.
  • My wife and I have Social Security
  • My wife and I have Medicare
  • My wife and I have saved money
  • My wife and I have no debt
What have you got???

Average ANNUAL salary of CEO's    $410,000 to $1,2000,000

Average ANNUAL salary of workers   $31,133

SO...
do you think that our Government is really trying to regulate these kinds of differences in pay scales between management and labor?  Congress wants to increase the minimum wage to $15/hour but will that really do anything to reduce the WAGE GAP.?

SOCIALISM will not FIX THIS PROBLEM EITHER...  unless, our Federal Government decides to take ownership of all our corporations and businesses.  The ultimate idea of socialism is to OWN BUSINESSES and INDUSTRIES but I doubt that this will ever happen in the United States...  but, we will get very close to that endgame.  AND, the way we are going to do that is to give MORE and MORE and MORE to the American People and tax the wealthy and corporations to pay for it...  whether they want to pay for it or not...

Only time will tell us if that is a good more or not...

MEANWHILE...  
CEO will continue to increase their salaries while keeping the worker relatively suppressed. 

AGAIN,
my wife and I will never be bothered by these developments...  because of our age and our retired status.  my wife and I have AGED INDIFFERENCE...
