You will have a Venezuela type mess if the government starts dictating wages and prices. We need to do exactly what Trump is doing - grow the economy so folks who are working at Walmart can get a better job.
A Very capitalistic answer. I like capitalism to an extant. I have had enough of Walmart and Amazon style greed. Thats just too much money for so few then they shite on their people. I would say that this country believes in capitalism till the fortunate take the hit. Then its bailout time. So it capitalistic profits but socialistic losses for Goldman Wamu Chase etc. Total shit show.
