Utopia is only a failure away. Those who are harmed will get over it,
because in the end, it all equals out.
That’s libtardism in a nutshell.
Unfortunately, we are witnessing those policies being played before our
very eyes with the Democratic Party’s income inequality meme.
Recently, a Seattle CEO of a credit card processing
company decided to put into practice what liberals have been carping on for
decades: implementing an income equality workplace. Many conservatives predicted this was a
doomed experiment. The surprise was it
only took three months for that prediction to become reality. Skilled and dedicated employees were making as
much as entry level workers causing dissention and resentment. The survival of Gravity Payments is in
question.
The living wage experiment is also proving to be a failure. This time it’s not from some small regional
company from the left coast, but from a megastore headquartered in America’s
heartland. Wal-Mart has bought into this
utopian concept of higher wages for entry level employees equals a happy work
environment. That would probably be the
case if they raised the wages of everyone else, but income equality doesn’t work
that way. Here is an excerpt from
Bloomberg News:
When Wal-Mart Stores Inc. chief Doug McMillon announced
plans to boost store workers’ minimum wage earlier this year, he said the move
was intended to improve morale and retain employees.
Yet for some of
the hundreds of thousands of workers getting no raise, the policy is having the
opposite effect.
In interviews
and in hundreds of comments on Facebook, Wal-Mart employees are calling the
move unfair to senior workers who got no increase and now make the same or
close to what newer, less experienced colleagues earn. New workers started
making a minimum of $9 an hour in April and will get at least $10 an hour in
February.
“It is pitting
people against each other,” said Charmaine Givens-Thomas, a 10-year Wal-Mart
veteran. “It hurts morale when people feel like they aren’t being appreciated.
I hear people every day talking about looking for other jobs and wanting to
remove themselves from Wal-Mart and a job that will make them feel like that.”
Liberal utopianism doesn’t care whether or not we
appreciate their outcomes; it’s the sentiment that counts. Equality, fraternity and liberty to fleece
other people’s wallets and ambitions are part of the Democratic Party’s
transformation of America. It worked so
well for France during the Reign of Terror, why shouldn’t it work here?
