Speaks for itself.
Median wage is really $16.50? That feels wildly low.
Please cite your sources for the data.
Respectfully, it doesn’t seem like we need a ton of data to support the fact that most American workers are wildly underpaid. The minimum wage has been stuck at seven bucks an hour going on 15 years now, and both ruling parties have no intention of changing that.
Most States have a higher minimum wage.
…but we should abolish the wage system.
Agreed.
The minimum wage should be tied to inflation so it goes up automatically AND serves as a means of controlling inflation, as it is in several countries. Unlikely though, with both ruling parties being completely pro-corporate.
That’s breadcrumbs. I’d vote for it, but that’s not what abolishing the wage system looks like.
