Slavery had a silver lining and that silver lining are the ancestors of it who enjoy the American prosperity and opportunities of being born in a 1st world country.
All you saying that all those slaves and those who fought to end slavery in the civil war died in in vain?
What in the world are you talking about? Slavery and oppression is BAD for economic prosperity. Thats not why America is prosperous. America is prosperous and a 1st world country DESPITE the oppression, slavery, drudgery and oligarchy that you promote.

Slavery catapulted American into a prosperous nation
It was a necessary evil and all African Americans like myself are enjoying the fruits of our ancestors labor. Aka being born in America and not Africa.
Micheal Jordan, Michael Jackson, Oprah, Obama, Will Smith, Samuel L Jackson, Dave Chapelle, none of us African Americans would’ve been born here otherwise.

Slavery and oppression is never necessary. Countries give people more economic FREEDOM if they want to develop. If they want to stay poor, they keep the peasants poor and under the jackboot of the oligarchy. All the countries in the world would have been rich if slavery was the path to prosperity. Certainly Africa as well, with its immense slave trade spanning thousands of years. No wonder you feel so strongly that oligarchy and oppression is the way forward. You are deeply confused.
It's far better on the economy for the government to hike welfare benefits and give more food stamps for people making under $15 an hour in New York and other high cost of living places?
It's far better for the people to get a skill to make enough money to support themselves in a high COL city or move. Thinking you can support a family on MW is the most ridiculous thing someone can think.

Not everyone can be a highly skilled worker. Stop making up unrealistic scenarios in order to defend the ruling donor class. They dont care about you, so why do you care so much about them? I understand that many feel it is threatening if minimum wage workers get a decent standard of living, but look at it this way: It will cause a dramatic reduction in despair, drug abuse, fear and loathing in America. Tensions will decline as the oligarchy have less power and incentive to elevate tensions in society for their own benefits.
Seems one would have to be crazy to run a business in a liberal city .
Many cities in America are welcoming to businesses unlike cities like NYC , San Francisco , L.A etc with these crazy minimum wage laws .
NYC restaurants are not happy with the big minimum wage hike government has forced on them .
Now they are begging to be allowed to add a surcharge of 5 % to each bill .
They make a good point about these politicians that have never run a business .
——
New York City restaurants are proposing a surcharge for all diners to cover the rising cost of wages.
A group of more than 100 owners are pushing for lawmakers to let them add an extra 5% to weather next year’s hike in the minimum wage to $15 as well as the rising cost of food and rent.
“We’re seeing restaurants go out of business,” Apple-Metro CEO Zane Tankel said Tuesday during an interview on FOX Business’ “Evening Edit.”
Tankel argues that the minimum-wage hike will destroy jobs and force restaurants to raise menu prices.
“Our mayor has never run a business in his life,” he said. “Our governor has never run a business in his life,” he added, referring to Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Of course not everyone can become highly skilled, but can't we deal with those people individually instead of having a blanket law to impose slavery on people?
raise prices.. it's NYC. Is anyone really going to go crazy because a Chicken Parm is 15.99 instead of 15.29?
