Does this make sense? Does this mean the rich are getting richer and the poor

Yep, and that is how Bernie Sanders will end up in power.

hopefully all the blue collar workers with very little in the stock market, but did vote for trump last time take note

Why do you assume the blue collar workers have little invested in the stock

the ones that have little

BlueFrog

Blue collar workers and minorities are sitting with an all time Low

exactly. you want a higher wage and higher median household salary. DJIA is meaningless for lots of people

Smart people who save and invest are getting wealthier.

Please describe “invest” as you use it in this context.

Welcome to life. The vast majority of people need to work to

I’m not complaining at all. But this guy makes it sound like “investing”

StalwartBraveTrue

I think what he said is true, it can make you wealthier

That is an all time bad twitter thread.

Wage gain should hopefully meet inflation. But it should not match with the stock market. Minimum wage

SolidBlue

Nothing.

Baron

Across all states?

SolidBlue

If it is pegged to inflation then the cost is the same as when they first started

Baron

1/11/20 6:39pm

You clearly don’t own a small business

SolidBlue

1/11/20 6:41pm

You clearly don't understand inflation.

Baron

1/11/20 6:49pm

I understand inflation just fine, thank you...

SolidBlue

1/11/20 7:36pm

Then you would know it isn't costing you anything more than before

Baron

1/11/20 9:26pm

Not true whatsoever

SolidBlue

The minimum wage being the same doesn’t mean poor people’s wages haven’t risen

Not rich, but definitely enjoying the increases in the market.

We continue to hear this saying said, but if the poor were getting poorer,

1/11/20 6:09pm

Yeah, it seems like the poor are better off even as the gap between rich & poor

Odysseus

1/11/20 6:35pm

The saying is more about the income gap widening

Mimimum wage is a law. Not a paycheck. Try comparing apples to apples.

Doesn’t fit the narrative.

No and No

I will illustrate how stupid this is with math:

1/11/20 9:06pm

I guarantee you my “index fund” and “max cap” 401k’s didn’t go up 44%.

StalwartBraveTrue

1/11/20 11:58pm

In the last 3 years you aren’t up 44% or somewhere in the 30s? The market has

BYUFootballisBack

1/12/20 11:32am

Nope. My “aggressive” investing approach has my 401k up about 20% but a lot of
