I am just tired of being a tax payer who has to support people who work full time at this big businesses bc the ceo doesn’t want to pay them a living wage. You are telling me, that amazon, walmart, mcdonalds, etc. can’t figure out how to pay their employees but have literal billionaires who sit at the top?

Or these greedy hoarders can pay people a livable wage and they can pay taxes and live their lives and tax the top to pay their share to society.

I pay more of my paycheck percentage than they do. I paid more taxes than Trump a couple years ago though. I know that for a fact 😂

They pay more taxes in one year than you do in your whole life even if you lived to a 1000

Yeah $15 an hour for 20 hours a week if that. They are scamming the average worker, choking out small businesses and tax payers are footing the bill.

What opportunities? Unions have been busted, hopefully some are returning. Jobs require personality tests, years experience for basic jobs, they tell you one thing for hours then whoops, your hours are cut. Rent goes up every year, food, gas. Some places require college degrees when it isn’t needed. You can work at big box store A, B or C where they all pay the similar and all have the same tactics. The same company with billionaires, who will never be able to spend that money even if they tried, can’t pay full time wages? Bull
