3. Boost the federal minimum wage to $20 an hour.

I'd take any shit job around for that kind of pay.

Most of the unskilled labor in this country (who get paid the minimum wage) do almost all of the hard labor that the rich benefit from in their stock portfolios.

They are actually taking money out of each state to line their own pockets.

The rich should also pay more taxes, because they have the most to lose if this country goes under.

Thank you for sharing this article, and also for letting me rant.
