CLASS WARFARE: Raise Federal Minimum Wage to $27.00
In my opinion, the American caste system is now comprised of the Oligarchy, the sub-servient wealthy class and the working class. Class warfare has been thrust upon us leaving us with no other option than to fight back! So. If the oligarchs and their minions want class warfare, let's not disappoint them!
In response, I am currently building a labor-based coalition that is strategically focused on raising the Federal Minimum Wage to $27.00, getting dark money out of politics and strengthening our labor laws to better protect the working class against exploitation and unsafe working conditions.
We know the Maga Republicans are corrupt and don't care about the working class. But we need to ask ourselves why hasn't our party maintained a policy that automatically increases the Federal Minimum Wage with inflation? Democrats are the party of the working class, right? There have been 3 times in recent memory when democrats held all 3 branches of government. {1993-1995 Clinton; 2009-2011 Obama; 2021-2023 Biden) There was a modest .70 increase in 2009 from $6.55 to $7.25. Really? Is this the best our representatives can do for us? The working class has not seen a living wage increase in over 15 years! The working class has not thrived since its creation in the 1950's and 1960's when the country was in the post war boom. Wages have stagnated and union membership has steadily declined since the 1970's. Why is this? Because our Democratic and Republican representatives are enslaved to their corporate lobbyists, special interests and dark money. They want to control us. Not support us.

Why is this important?
Out of all the issues raging across our political landscape today, what is going to help empower the American worker? You? Answer. A living wage that will actually meet the needs of living in today's inflationary environment. In my opinion, raising the Federal Minimum Wage to $27.00 is the most important, logical and strategic action that we can make at this time. We have a real chance right now to help people get out of poverty and live the American Dream! $15.00-$17.00 wage incrementalism is ineffective. It does not work, and we need to hold our representatives accountable.
So here we are in April 2025, entrenched in CLASS WARFARE suffering the consequences of our representative's neglect and corruption. We are fighting for our lives and for our democracy because the Democratic Party abandoned the American Worker. Us! The Working Class is the HEART and SOUL of the Democratic Party and the HEART and SOUL of democracy! We are the power that generates this country's greatness! Not the politicians.
So, we the working people in this country, have to STAND UP, dust ourselves off, RISE UP with courage and determination and RAISE UP those who need a hand. Join our coalition to unite, empower and strengthen the Working Class by fighting for a living wage of $27.00! We need to organize and mobilize! Power to the People!
It's vitally important that that you sign and share this petition across your social media's. Join our revolution to prioritize and empower the working class! My goal is 50,000 signatures!
