I have devised another new way to raise wages to a minimum wage of $10 an hour in each sector. This does not replace my boycotts of companies to pressure them to get us the progressive legislation. This appears another way that people can also do to pressure companies to do what we want or lose our money.

If you want restaurant workers to make a minimum wage of $10 an hour then pick Wendy's which contributes to the REPUBLIKLAN party and tell your local Wendy's that you will not go to their restaurants until their company pays every worker $10 an hour and then buy elsewhere. Eventually when they lose enough business they will have to pay their workers $10 an hour minimum and the other chains and other single restaurants will have to fall in line or lose workers to Wendy's.

Then do this in as many products sectors as you can. This depends on citizens organizing to pressure companies and not government to pay their workers a minimum of $10 an hour and a agree on a single company in each product sector

This way you don't need to worry about the filibustering Republicans and the vetoing Chimp.


Then citizens can force down the price of exclusive EXPENSIVE patented prescription drug medication with no generic competition by saying to their local Eckerd, CVS, and Walgreens pharmacies lower your prices to the price of generics or we will not go to your pharmacies and we will buy elsewhere at a smaller pharmacy. IF stuck with a particular pharmacy by contract then don't buy your consumer products there but get your medication there.
