Does anyone remember learning this in high school or college? Neither do I. A MAJOR failing of educational systems is not teaching young people about work, capital, money, investment, value.
The government decides what you learn in school. It's better for the economy (the billionaire political donor class) if Americans remain mindless consumers and in constantly increasing debt.
I took a masters class where the book we had to read Road to Serfdom by Hayek. We also learned about the Austrian Business Cycle. Up until then I only heard about Keynesian Economic Theory. This was in the 90's.

We'll take a look at the article, but as to shadowstats, the methodology is weird. As Mateusz Machaj (PhD in economics) from Mises Institute pointed out, Williams only adds an arbitrarily chosen percentage to BLS CPI. He just adds 7% to the official CPI, he does not recalculate it. He admits it himself by saying: „The ShadowStats-Alternate Consumer Inflation Measure adjusts on an additive basis for the cumulative impact on the annual inflation rate of various methodological changes made by the BLS (the series is not recalculated)” There's also a critique of the shadowstats methodology in EconoMonitor here: www.economonitor.com/dolanecon/2015/03/31/deconstructing-shadowstats-why-is-it-so-loved-by-its-followers-but-scorned-by-economists/

the problem with this is you do not consider that money can be hoarded. the benefit redistribution would offer, hopefully in productive ways, is taking away money from people who hoard it and don't inject it back into the economy. not every business owner spends their excess money reinvesting in their workers pay or business. instead, they save it for future generations to be filthy rich. That is basically just capital flight imo. I hate bureaucracy and nonefficient government, but I also realize that without some redistribution we would end up with a monopoly.
You neglect an important part of the book: saving is actually spending. The rich aren't stupid. That is why they are 'rich'. When they save, they save in banks and through investments. Banks, in turn, lend to others, creating more opportunity for those to buy, invest in a new business, etc. Same concept in regards to investing. Businesses and corporation use the investment money to grow, hire people, expand, etc. They know that 'hoarding money' means no growth through interest, and they actually lose money through inflation. Seen and unseen. Would you rather the government determine redistribution, or let market forces decide? I know what I would choose, and have seen to be successful. Rich people are rich for a reason. They understand how money really works.
Michael Hicks for sure I get they wouldn’t want to stick it under a mattress. I’m curious though what you think would fix massive wage stagnation in the private sector? We just had sweeping tax cuts in America and that did not makeup for wage stagnation. And also on top of this.. starting a business is at an all time low. Probably many factors involved but our current system of corporatism isn’t working very well for most.
The market will usually work itself out. Raising the minimum wage only encourages employers to cut costs to save money. The last thing they want to do is lose customers by passing on the higher wage cost to the consumer. They will, and are already, responding to demands for higher wages by automating low skill tasks and cutting employees. It's a competitive world out there, no matter how much public schools and colleges have tried to do away with it. As a business owner, if you raise prices, then more often than not, you will lose business. What would you do to stay competitive? It's a tricky balance here. You need workers, and if supply is low, you will pay more to attract more potential employees. I see this where I live. Jobs meant for teens are booming and paying close to $10 an hour. If you stay at minimum wage, and someone else is paying more, you will lose your employees. Again, the MARKET working itself out. There is a great article in, of all places , the NYT that says that, yes, most people got a tax cut. Also, all of the articles I have read have proof that wages are rising, especially for high, in demand, SKILLED jobs. More than 44% of the American population pays no income tax. Of course they aren't getting a tax cut. If you didn't pay anything in, it stands to reason that you shouldn't get anything back. 44% get all of their money back, then some. One of the major factors in others not starting businesses is the daunting challenge of regulations, which scare many from even taking a chance (and the fact that 90% of all businesses fail within the first 3 years). Wage stagnation isn't an issue if you have high, in-demand skills. It's usually stagnant for low-skilled people with educations that don't relate to real world opportunities. No wonder the barista at Starbucks with a women's studies or history degree and over $100k in student loan debt is a socialist. On the other hand, the kid that went to community college and got his plumbing license is pulling down six figures because of simple supply and DEMAND. The barista has skills that aren't really in demand. The plumber does, thus, there is no 'wage stagnation' for them. So, in all of this that I am saying, acquiring NEEDED, in demand skills and education will eventually work out 'wage stagnation' issues. Not by government intervention. Like I said, read the book. It should be the bible of economics taught in high schools across America. We could solve alot of economic problems with the lessons contained throughout the book (at least a basic understanding of seen and unseen consequences of decisions).
What would happen if the government never built those roads? How are we going to our widgets from place to place? A good economist would see the long term jobs created by #WeThePeople building roads is enormous.
Show that the problem isn't in government but in there people who investigate there money that they earned mostly by collecting and giving them cutting tree building that leads not only creating jobs but it has bad affects that is unseen as destroying green lands which lead other problems every action has a reaction
