| Gourmet said: A doctor in public service makes around $600 in a whole month, working 8 hours a day, in my country. And the hospital usually lacks basic tools which they may have to buy themselves. My country has very good and christian people who work hard for their community, the health system is not even that bad, but seriously, if you guys can pay your doctors decently, there's just no excuse to complain about doing so. Are you really entitled to make more money than a doctor by frying burgers? |
In Australia the minimum wage is $17.70 an hour.
Someone flipping burgers for a week in Australia gets paid more than a doctor in your country in a month.
Granted our cost of living is higher, but that gets balanced out with cheaper and superior healthcare, insurance and other bonuses.
People always stress that if the minimum wage is set at such a high-level, that people would rather flip burgers than take up a profession... When that couldn't be farther than the truth.
Other professions will still be seen as more valuable and will thus have higher wages.
It's the the masses that drive the economic wheels of an economy and the more disposable income they have, the more they can spend, the more money companies can make and profit.
The USA has actually had a minimum wage that has stagnated/gone in reverse thanks to inflation.
Besides, everyone has to eat, even doctors. But no. No one is proposing for someone flipping burgers to earn more than a doctor, that's a silly fallacy.

But he wants t keep the competition up and costs down and allow international buying, the opposite of monopoly Obamacare. |
Then why isn't he taking your healthcare in the direction of a universal system?
I'm genuinely interested. If the media has it so wrong, then why hasn't trump contradicted it with his actions?
