A lot of truth to this….but if you live in a state without a minimum wage over …let’s say…$12 …blame your state government

Exactly. Walmart and Amazon are the REAL parasites on taxpayers, because they don't pay taxes themselves. Their employees are paid so little, they need help from taxpayers. This is unacceptable and we need to say so.

EXACTLY

Whether it's capitalism, communism, socialism or whatever... The act of "grabbing as much as you can for yourself" is not acceptable and must be disallowed. It's a select few of sick people that engage in this unbridled greed and it's time to call an end to it.

"...We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. 'Necessitous men are not free men.' People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.'" FDR State of the Union, Jan 1, 1944 🧵

The people that work the hardest in our economy are the people who benefit the least, and the Republicans decided they don’t need healthcare or SNAP.

Try running your "own" small business in a state where you are required to have brutally expensive work comp insurance, paid time off, insurance for the business, insurance for the property, for the vehicles, labor burden, and among other multiple obligations. Always in survival mode, no deficit.

Moreover... A person making $70,000 a year should be able to buy a house or easily afford to rent one.

$70,000, with responsible management, should not be a paycheck-to-paycheck, robbing Peter to pay Paul, or choosing between food and electric situation. Period.

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY 1,000% THIS ▶️

When you include the caveat, “full-time”, employers simply hire almost everyone as part-time to excuse the need for government assistance.

Worked for Kroger a few years back. Only hired part time (except for management 🙄), but promised full time status & benefits after a set time of working same. Because I was eager, responsible & naive, they’d work me until just before that time, then give me 15 hours…to start the clock over.
