The United States government must pass federal legislation that will exclude corporations from minimum wage guidelines. Corporations should no longer be allowed to pay minimum wage pay if they generate $40 million per year in revenue, while their employees earn less than $14 per hour. This uneven distribution of wealth insures a poverty level standard and quality of living for millions of Americans. Targeted corporations conducting business in the United States should be required to pay all employees a living wage, based on the cost of living for each metropolitan area in the United States.
Why is this important?
People in the United States should have an opportunity to pursue the American Dream. Without a more even distribution of wealth, this is impossible, especially when we consider the fact that the average CEO earns 275 times the average employee in that company. Financial and social ascension begins with the people, it will assist with ending poverty and most importantly, provide a better starting point for every American to manifest their destiny.
