Living Wage
No One who works a full time job should have to depend on food stamps or welfare to feed themselves or keep a roof over their heads.
Republican policies over the past 30 years have meant that wages have not kept up with inflation for 80% of Americans.
Now, even dual income families struggle to pay their bills.
In the meantime, the wealthiest in this country have seen their incomes and wealth soar...even executives, who are not the founders of the companies they run receive salaries and compensation 1000's of times that of their employees.
Laws must be put into place to provide LIVING WAGES to all full time employees over the age of 21.
Those wages must automatically increase at the rate of inflation.
America's success was built on this concept that we are all in this together....The wealthy and powerful have forgotten that, enrich themselves, and ship jobs overseas.
