Labor Day reminder: If the min wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $26 today—not $7.25. Meaning—billionaires & corps have stolen at least $19/hour from working Americans for 60 years.
That’s generational theft from the working class to keep people in poverty.
We don't suffer a lack of resources—but an excess of greed.
