What income you think average person should get yearly

[voiha]

You can clarify yourself in the comments bellow in which country/state you're living and what's the average salary there.

[SansVarnic]

Not to sound like a downer here but

1. lets keep this strictly on on topic... using this to platform political stances will get anyone only one thing..
2. this question is very vague and I cannot answer it since the question does not take into account multiple variables such as, Age, Education, Type of work, Experience, etcetera.... just for starters.

I honestly do not believe in a minimum of maximum wage, a wage should be determined by only one thing, the agreement made between an employer and the employee at time of hire with room for wage increase as time, experience and proficiency increase.

Whatever they earn for themselves.

[TacoSenpai]

Alot of factors go into this.

 

Supply and demand of skillsets/occupation (jobs in high demand but low supply of people will in most cases pay more)

Location and standard of living (it will cost more to live in NYC compared to say Idaho and salaries vary by location)

Experience (kinda factors into supply and demand typically there are less people with 15 years of dev experience say vs 1 or 2)

Honestly i think everyone should make $1B each year. But uhhhhhhh that wouldn't make any sense

I'd say enough for the person to be live comfortably and be able to do a couple of extra hobbies. Here in the UK i'd say that's about 30k PA (Around 39K USD)

 

However if you're living in London think almost double that. London is STUPID expensive. Most people pay double or triple my mortgage in RENT!

[Amazonsucks]

As much as you can ethically make.

[LinusOnLine]

I think everyone should have a right to a minumum income no mather what. Even if they are not working. It should be enough to live on and not be poor.

I don't want to be that guy, but this is a political stance. The poll in of itself is also political, factoring the question/and the limited answers. You can't really get away from it.

 

Your belief does not address arrangements outside of employments or revenue obtained from investment income. This is important because the question is about income, not wages or salaries.

The poll's question does not account from everyone participant's context (e.g. cost of living variance due to social, economical and political differences). You're just asked what the top and bottom earning tiers should be, assumingly to establish a certain level of equality in income distribution. OP's accompanying message is different, though.

 

That message calls for clarifications from the participants of this poll. I'm not even sure why there's a poll people instead of asking them to just share their thoughts while factoring in their local differences (perceived and otherwise) since that's ultimately the point. The answers, poll or otherwise, will give you a glimpse into the politics of every participant and will become political by nature, just like you've given us insight into your politics.

I think the only advice I can give is to keep this a level-headed discussion. Respect your peers. We all have different opinions and that's what makes us who we are.

[wANKER]

So sir, how much would you like to be paid. 

 

Oh, well, I don't want to be greedy, so 20k is fine. 100k is too much.

Why should anyone get paid for doing nothing? If they don't work, then they don't get paid.

[IAnthonyFX]

You need to give a location. In the US with 700 dollars a month you can't barely survive in a small county. With 700 month in Peru you are doing pretty well in the capital, you can even get to have a modest family. It varies a lot and if you are using this poll for a class then you wont get good data. 

Regardless, my answer medium should whatever amount, minimum should be enough to live a decent live and not starve.

It is called a citizens pay and is something that does not demand any form of demands to get.

because it cost more to keep homeless people than given them a home. I think what this guy is talking about is an idea called universal basic income. Here you go, it has pretty colours too 

 

[lewdicrous]

You should get paid based on experience and qualifications, not position, imo

You didn't answer my question.

Unless you force said people to work or live in a country with an incompetent government and police force, no, it doesn't.

I'm familiar with this form of theft.

theft?  
well, there is no point on arguing with you

If the government is paying someone else for nothing, they're stealing the money from those working.

[Mira Yurizaki]

The "ideal" average income depends on the cost of living of where they are, even in developed countries like the US. The $15/hr federal minimum wage doesn't make sense to me because $15/hr is still not enough to get the basics in San Francisco, but someone living in Podunk with a population of 200 would live like a proverbial king.

Why is getting something for nothing "a right"?

 

Do you walk into stores and rob them because you have the right to what they sell?
