This is a crucial point that many capitalist idealogues don't want to admit. When paying someone for work, you are exchanging money for their life energy (finite resource), in addition to the ouput of their labour. As such there should be a minimum floor salary that allows them to live well.

Yes, there are only 24 hrs a day for everyone -that doesn’t change for the low income ?

Yes! And every person deserves healthcare and a couple weeks of paid vacation. Record profits are proof that companies can afford this.

Yes!!!

Supposedly richest country on earth.
USA is NOT the greatest county in the world any more.

Not when people die thanks to not having healthcare.
Not when children leave school & cant read or write.
Not when pregnant mothers are being jailed for having a natural miscarriage.

You can thank a democRAT for taxing 30-40% of your wages to support all their crazy ideology.

Who came up with levying taxes on the commonwealth to further the interests of our country?

It's called a living wage in the UK, different from the minimum wage, but UK tax payers still subsidise companies that refuse to pay staff enough.

Wait…what do I see here…the Dems starting to post content NOT JUST IN RESPONSE TO TRUMP? This is a win…starting to see the light. We need to say what we are for instead of Judy commenting on what we are against. Good job here! More of this please!!

I no longer believe we are the richest nation in the world. We were rich when our allies believed in America, people looked at this country for freedoms they wanted, a democracy that enriched their lives. What do we offer now? Absolutely nothing.

Some comparisons with other countries. Why would Greenland or Canada want to be part of our system. They treat their citizens so much better than the US

Ask any public school teacher you know.
