UK economy grows more than expected in May

Okay a reasonable ask to someone who doesn’t understand how economics work. Yes bottom of the rung jobs is what minimum wage job are referred to as they require no skill.

£15 an hour is about what a level 2 nurse gets and equivalent to people who have a degree at university, so you now would need to pay these jobs at least £5 an hour more which would mean that we all have to pay considerable more taxes so that we can still keep things like the nhs and police forces as if we pay a McDonald’s worker £15 an hour that means that everyone in the hospital will need to be paid more ect.

Can you see the issue with paying bottom workers too much money? You make all other jobs need to be higher paid causing taxes to rise through the roof.

Now you could say tax the companies and super rich, but all they will do is go to a tax heaven so then you loose their taxable money. Now you live in a country with no investors or rich people paying a lot into tax and end up in a way worse situation.

But yes ok total says to go on strike because that will defiantly work and isn’t a nonsense idea haha
