The problem with Struggle4Bucks argument is it only makes the bosses of companies like Merc and BMW richer. It makes the country and the people poorer.
This is easy to explain. People made unemployed or put on low wages and their dependants still exist. They need tax payers money to provide for them. This should be added to the savings of the low wages.
Next is the lower tax revenues. Lower wages = lower tax revenues. Not only income tax, health insurance also hit are all the sales taxes. Retail is taking a hammering, not just because of online shopping. More people with less to spend is another reason.
The argument that taking money from A to give to B so B can buy more. Is stupid, because A now has less money. Then completely fails when B isn't paid the same as A was. Great for companies saving on their wage bills, complete failure for the people.
