Walmart fights

[Chief Brody]

yep, all minimum wagers needs is simply, just the MOTIVATION for a better life, and It Will Come

but not in America where being poor, born poor means for the majority that you live and die poor, and early.

Scrap the motivation and just hand out more nom-noms instead, amirite?

taxpayers are handing out $Bs now to WORKING (motivated) poor people because the minimum wage is too low.

Americans Want a Great Big Increase in the Minimum Wage

It is time for a great big increase in the minimum wage.

Who says?

The American people.

It is not just the thousands of fast-food restaurants workeres and their allies who rallied Thursday in 130 cities across the country, although the “strike against poverty wages” puts a human face on the data charting a dramatric increase in enthusiasm for this fight.

It is vital for supporters of wage increases to recognize—as everyone from Pope Francis to President Obama is talking about income inequality—that few proposals attract such broad support as the idea of raising hourly pay so that people who work forty hours a week can support their families.

A Hart Research Associates poll conducted last summer for the National Employment Law Project Action Fund found that 80 percent of Americans surveyed favor a $10.10-an-hour wage floor. And the support cuts across lines of partisanship, ideology, race and region.

Ninety-two percent of Democrats favor the increase, as do 80 percent of independents and 62 percent of Republicans.

Support from Americans who earn over $100,000 a year (79 percent) is roughly the same as from Americans who earn under $40,000 a year (83 percent). Southerners are almost as supportive (81 percent) as Northeasterners (86 percent).

This enthusiasm is not just theoretical. It is immediate. Seventy-four percent of Americans say that Congress should make it a priority to significantly increase the minimum wage.
