There will always be entry level jobs with entry level pay. And there will always be lazy people who do the bare minimum & their pay will reflect that. But there should be far more upward mobility. And very few obstacles for anyone who is willing to work for better pay to actually achieve it.
Get the govt out of the way so that anyone can start a business without having to buy permission from the political class, & most people might be able to work for themselves in some form or fashion.
