Yeah it's a shame that no one thought about fighting inequality making workers wealthier so far, thank God there are people like you that enlighten us, you're also one of those who found that guns don't shot people but it's people that shot people, right? If the solution is that then why the rich oppose the increase of minimum wage? What should be the solution to making workers wealthier without touching the bosses? The stock market? After all the crashes and wealth theft of funds? Do you guys ever connect the brain before typing?

Because despite what you think, people doing business aren't actually that rich. When you chant socialist crap like "bosses get rich by stealing wealth from workers" [1], you casually omit that many businesses are scraping the bottom of the barrel to keep workers employed (as in putting the food in the tables) in the first place. And that mandatory increasing workers' wages would result in their immediate termination from the job because it would no longer be sustainable, putting laid off workers on welfare.

  Those businesses scraping the bottom of the barrel can disappear if their business model is weak, it's not that every one is supposed to be a business owner, so that they don't create unfair competition towards more capable business owners

    Let me guess: you are not a business owner, and you have no idea what it means to be one. (My guess is based on the amount of a plundering socialist rhetoric in your comments)

  A lot of those jobs shouldn't exist in the first place. Most of the time minimum wage increases just result in cost push inflation at the bottom of society. Yes, that means the middle class and above will have to pay more for services provided by minimum wage workers. The upper classes aren't hurting for money so they actually end up paying those wages anyway.
