As a person who actually worked for tips & hourly wages in my life, instead of having to learn about it 2nd-hand, I can tell you that most people want to be paid enough to live.
A living wage isnt a gift, its a right. Workers are often paid far less than the value they create.

Ivanka Trump goes after Ocasio-Cortez policies in Fox News Interview: "People want to work for what they get. So, I think that this idea of a guaranteed minimum is not something most people want."

And, with any luck, there will be charges from state attorneys general, so that individual-one cannot pardon the object of his perverted lust.
Jeez! I feel the need to shower just for writing that last bit!
When will this nightmare end?

(272 posts)does Princess Ivanka get to lecture AOC about the value of hard work, earning what you have, and what working class people are thinking. Vapid and clueless spawn of Drumpf.

(515 posts)Put that on billboards, put in email signatures, on bumper stickers, in editorials, on your social media profiles. Say it and post it everywhere. This is the essential truth of working. A truth that all conservatives deny and fight against.
A living wage isnt a gift, its a right. Workers are often paid far less than the value they create.

It would seem so.

(18,479 posts)I know of a company that has net income ~ $1.5 billion. This company has 6 employees. How much should they be paid?
In high school and college I took courses in economics. A consistent concept in all of them is that a voluntary transaction only occurs when each party values what they get more than what they give up.
I'm not understanding how to evalueate implementing this idea.
