This July, 2024 remember the minimum wage hasn’t increased since July, 2009—but if it had increased with inflation & corporate productivity since the 1960s—it’d be $27/hr today.

Reaganomics trickle down scam has redistributed $50T from bottom 90% to top 1% and corporations commit $50B in annual wage theft from workers.

This July 4th remember there is no freedom and justice without economic freedom and justice. Unionize workers. Tax billionaires. Restore justice.

@QasimRashid

this is part of the reason that i've never understood the 'fight for 15' campaign since its inception

$15 was such a low number then, selling people short

now, $15/hr FT is nowhere close to covering monthly expenses

if the currently proposed $15 minimum wage ever passes congress, we are still nowhere near solving disparity

in addition to taxing the wealthy, we need regulations for rent control, against price gouging on food, medications esp. as the climate worsens

Minimum wage should be linked to the cost of a McDonald's hamburger. In 1968, that was 16 cents, and wage was $1.60.

Today, that burger costs $2.79.

Trickle down a total scam. If you are a child of the 70s and 80s you KNOW this to be true.

Whether you accept it is a different matter.
