When people earn more money, they spend more money to keep our economy thriving. Living in poverty while working full time is morally wrong and cruel. As goods and services increase, so should the average persons income. If one works 2 or more part time jobs to supplement their income, a higher paying single job would be respectful and would open up more jobs for those looking for work.
Greed of those in the 1% have given them too much power and has turned our democracy into an oligarchy.
This is NOT a party issue, people of all parties in this country DESERVE A RAISE!!!
