[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you. It's an impossible goal. [b]If we raise wages to try to give everyone a living wage, prices go up[/b], and some wages then fall below the living wage standard. The cycle goes on and on. Some jobs will never pay enough to live alone, buy a home, or raise a family. [/quote]

Why can't it come out of CEO pay, which is why we have such an income gap. What about taxing companies (looking at you Walmart) who put too many employees at PT status to avoid paying benefits. If they cost the city and feds, why isn't the corporation penalized. Too many of us blame individuals for problems around immigration, benefits, healthcare, etc. when we should blame corporations.

Look at this sharp incline of rising CEO wages: [url]https://www.statista.com/statistics/261463/ceo-to-worker-compensation-ratio-of-top-firms-in-the-us/[/url]

Walmart and McDonalds are costing taxpayers dearly: [url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/11/18/food-stamps-medicaid-mcdonalds-walmart-bernie-sanders/[/url][/quote]
