So what will the reversal of these suppressed wages have on prices?
I never thought I'd hear the GOP promote literal Democratic economic talking points ("Wall Street has done well; now it's time for Main Street to do well").
The 2 parties have abandoned capitalists and capitalism.

Nobody has been able to explain how this would work.
Successful people who have money to invest having to pay more for goods (due to the inflationary pressure of higher wages) means less money will be spent elsewhere, especially in investing.
And the people who will get the bump in salary won't be making enough to have an abundance of extra money to invest. They'll still be in the lower-level earning demographics, and still struggling economically.
This means less money flowing to our more productive areas (which require the investment) and that means less economic/GDP growth.
There is a reason the "blood and soil" types peg this correctly and attack GDP/SOL (typically labeling economic success as an "economic zone") with to promote their proposed racial harmony.

I never thought the leftist party would embrace government endorsed controlled speach, insider trading and war profiteering with no border security.

You just prefer the side of capitalism where the levers of government advantage Wall Street. That’s okay everyone can have a preference as long as the government does not own the means of production we still have a capitalism field to play in. Sometimes Main Street is going to get the ball and score.

Sure. The problem is there are no Democrats on here currently to address that point to

You mean "fewer levers" and more freedom. That will favor economic outlets like Wall Street more than less productive endeavors.

And this socialist-style "help" will hurt them eventually. They'll get an immediate bump in SOL and then suffer over the long-term as growth is nerfed.

Please explain how removing an artificial supply (illegal immigrants suppressing wages) is "abandoning capitalism".
I'm sure you'll include multiple qualifiers and "if/thens" to your explanation so that later when you're called out on it you can passively aggressively claim, "I never said that" like an 8th grade girl.

Capital investment, when used correctly, has never been a zero sum game as you portend.

VOR is melting right now after seeing that ...........once again .........debunking the verbal diarrhea that comes out his mouth here.

My God you’re insufferable.
Slave wages created by cheap labor have socially and economically devastated this country, particularly in rural areas. You’ll never see it, because apparently you believe Dollar Stores, vape stores and hopeless opiate addiction are cultural meccas that the rubes deserve and society should encourage.
And I can’t believe I just fed this utter troll.

That artificiality is a pretty modern governmental regulation, just FWIW
Also, it's the underlying rhetoric being promoted. Taking form the successful to redistribute to the less successful is a literal Democrat/Leftist bullshite talking point.
