Counteroffer. We make America better for businesses and watch the wages rise on their own.

I'm confused. If you agree that capitalism is the only system that gives the little guy a chance, how does capitalism suck for the little guy?

Before we make sweeping declarations about capitalism, we need to look at it through the scope of history. World-wide, wherever economic freedom is allowed, millions of people have lifted themselves out of stoop labor and miserable poverty. Practically speaking, capitalism is the best system yet devised for the "little guy."

When you say "Capitalism is the worst form of economy, besides all others" are you actually saying it's the worst, or are you quipping that it's the worst, besides all the others that are more bad?

ATMs in Europe are not completely free, as evidenced here: http://www.bankrate.com/finance/savings/off-to-europe-5-reasons-to-pack-an-atm-card-1.aspx and here https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/banking/debit-card-foreign-transaction-international-atm-fees/ further, most banks no money for members to use their ATMs, no one is forcing you to use an ATM instead of going inside your bank, and you can always get cash back after making a purchase from a store, which costs nothing.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Please explain to me how I am helping create profits on services by developing and executing low-cost, term-favorable solutions to finance or refinance capital projects? We disagree about the role of profit based consideration in society, and judging by your “job description” it’s apparent you’re not very fond of the financial industry.

No one said it wasn't important, your work is vital to the health care industry. But my work financing the building and expansion of hospitals is also vital to the health care industry.

Because this will bug me if I don’t say it: I like how you resorted to name calling instead of addressing literally any of the points I made. You’ve truly mastered the art of argumentation! Also, I work for a firm that exclusively works with health care, senior living, and affordable housing organizations, in what lofty profession do you work?

Factoring in the exchange rate between AUD and USD is only half the battle of determining wages. Purchasing Power Parity, which accounts for cost of living (which is much higher in Australia) must also be addressed. According to OECD, adjusted for PPP, in 2015 the Australian minimum wage was 10.9 USD. http://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=RMW

And my point about the iPhone is that people are doing well because things are getting cheaper. Evidence: http://www.aei.org/publication/the-rich-are-getting-richer-and-the-poor-are-getting-richer-the-good-old-days-are-now/
