You just avoided what I said there are not positions higher up for every one to move up to.
I specifically addressed what you said. There have never been enough jobs in the top tier for everyone. However, there are plenty of jobs that pay middle class wages for those that put in a bit of effort.
If it is such a small percentage of the workforce, then why so much resistance from right wingers? One would think you guys would be for raising the minimum wage because it would distract people from the real issues that the right wingers want to hide.
You'd have to ask a right winger what their viewpoint is. I wouldn't know. As for me, I'd prefer to support programs which have a chance to actually help minimum wage earners rather than chasing the same pipe dream which has failed since the 1930s.

That pipe dream worked rather well just after WWII.

Because the reality is its not as small of a % as the right wing likes to claim. A small % make EXACTLY the minimum wage, a sizable % makes a tiny tiny bit more.
The right use the argument of it being a small % as no reason to do anything, while they fight it tooth and nail. The reality is its a significant % being helped by raising the minimum wage. Its a false argument on their side. Anyone using it is either trying to mislead, or ignorant of the reality.

All it does is increase the cost of goods leading to the same purchasing power as before, nothing changes, debt becomes more desirable, savings less desirable, and the current model continues on without change.

As does paying anyone above minimum wage, so why pay anyone more than minimum wage if all it is going to do is increase the cost of goods and reduce the purchasing power?
GDP growth per capita per year. The best fit line before WWII was 1.8. After WWII it was 2.0. Time spent above the curve is balanced by time spent below the curve.
Do you want to spend 50 years at 1.2% growth per capita per year?
What I'm talking about is how to not have to do that.
