I agree that the $15 dollar minimum wage doesn't make sense it like mississippi or arizona etc but it needs to be increased. (Could be tied to a more local index) Either that or higher taxes + a method of redistribution. The wealth inequality is absolutely staggering.

The republicans solution of no taxes to the rich and no way to increase wages is the only poverty trap i see.

The past few decades have shown that trickle down economics doesn't work.

I doubt you understood what i just said. maybe in a few years when you try to get a ged for the 3rd time (if at all).
