After inflation, people making $7.25 minimum wage are earning less now than they were 60 yrs ago. The minimum wage hasn't been raised in 13 yrs, the longest gap govt. has gone without upping it since it the system was introduced in 1938. That's basically a war on the poor.

Minimum wage won't help. Only education will. This system is over anyway. We need to learn from the past and build anew. Government control will never be the answer. lbry://IA---Today’s-Source-of-Money-Creation---Richard-Werner#daf8f6621e69176e1ee6811a4dd9faa229e33706

The country must preserve the value of its currency. The problem is the destruction of the dollar, not the rate of the minimum wage

California has continually raised minimum wages. Now above $15. Everyone is asking for more. More tips. More overtime. What do consumers get? $20 for a sandwich. When is it gonna end? Small businesses are dying in California, engulfed by big corporations BECAUSE OF min wage.

The minimum wage varies by state. Here in NY it is $14.20 per hour. Some states are even higher. Easy enough to google.

& the min wage anchors the rest of the wage scale. Those making $35/hr now in jobs that were paying $35/hr then! The theft goes large & higher earners are manipulated into giving it a pass as they are lucky to be getting as much as they are.

It's because they're getting ready to finally cash out. The poor will be the last to know this or be ready for it. I say everyone pack their Bugout-Bags now. #Rev18
