So if it added ".06 to the cost of a four dollar hamburger" to pay people a living wage, why are we not doing this everywhere?
Is it millionaire greed? I bet it's millionaire greed.
Brad Close, CEO of NFIB (National Federation of Independent Businesses). NFIB speeds more money lobbying to keep people poor (124 million) than than take in each year (113 million).
Brad makes over $480/hr (or 1 million dollars a year) to lead a company that tells the government you shouldn't make more than $7.25/hr. He must be 66x smarter and more productive than those making minimum wage.
That's just one example, look up Serv-Safe and the National Restaurant Association. It's not an accident these workers are poor, it's on purpose.
I'm fine with min wage so long as it is handled by hard research and science and not politicians or lobbyists. Although even scientists can be corrupted but at least it is backed by verifiable facts.
Agreed. That's my motto for everything in life.
