The nice thing about a $15 minimum wage is all the corporations would need to start paying it, and in the poor states like the south it would really help both the people and the states. And of course the brain dead Republicans down there are against it, as is Manchin-lol. And think of what a huge impact it would have on poverty and income inequality!! I have read estimates it would pull 38 million people out of abject poverty. And thinking about our homeless problem I have read that it would only take about 20 billion to solve that and they could pull that out of the bloated defense bill easily! <,Message #473035 from Jamie153 at 5/5/2021 12:22:31 PM The slave labor employers depend on taxpayers to take care of the poor they create. I mean, a CEO for McDs needs 2000 times what he pays his workers because playing golf and three martini lunches are expensive. McDonald's paid its CEO almost 2,000 times as much as the average worker in 2019, with executive compensation topping $18 million businessinsider.com
