We need a federal minimum wage that increases with inflation every year as a default.
If your wages aren’t keeping up with inflation, you’re taking a pay cut, every year — for the same (or let’s be real, slightly more) expected workload.
It’s time for the work force in this country to organize and stand united as a whole.
A thousand rich people cannot withstand the might of 300 million working voters.

Yeah that’s not gonna happen. It makes too much sense. The Democrats need one feel good piece of legislation every decade to show the poor that they give a shit about them and raising minimum wage is that legislation. For a short time, everyone gets fooled and thinks that Democrats actually give a shit about them. Meanwhile, for the next decade they just continue to fuck them in the ass until the next minimum wage increase they can pat themselves on the back.
