The assertion that progressives don't understand the economy is undercut by the fact that they do. What you assume is that if someone disagrees with your narrow viewpoint they "don't understand."
They, in fact, understand better than you.
What you suffer from is mirror thinking. If you believe in capitalism, progressives must not believe in it. Progressives just believe the government has a legitimate role in setting the rules of the road so business doesn't sell dangerous products, ruin the environment or exploit labor.

Please explain it to me.
Explain how some jobs are not worth more than $5. an hour, but you're forced to pay minimum wage?
Explain how you feel that compensation should be paid by need, not by the value of the labor.
Explain this....if a millionaire goes to a masseuse who charges $100 an hour, why would they pay double...or triple....because "they can afford it".
"They should pay more because they can afford it" and "they should be paid more because they need it" do not exist in the real world.
If a person wants to eat they`ll need more than $5 an hour. No matter how crummy the job is,the person showing up every day to do that job should be allowed to buy food and shelter.
You develop a skill, idea or product that someone will pay for.
The value of your skill, idea or product will be determined organically by the market.
No government program can alter that.
That's rubbish. It is a purely ideological statement. The idea that there is something called "the market" that operates independently of political considerations is naive.
So to disagree with your views on the economy means to be either ignorant or too dim to understand ?!?!
Gotcha. My diminished intellect can at least grasp that obvious concept ! Well I better go now and lie down, my pretty little empty head is hurting from all that thinking.
Newsflash but having a different way of looking at things does not necessarily being wrong or ignorant. Do you people actually ever think before you post or are you so filled with your own sense of self importance you can never even contemplate that not everyone is like you ?
