The need for a Living Wage is growing greater by the day. So-called "economic development" policies that fail to address the incomes of working families are nothing more than thinnly disguised welfare for the rich. Real economic development means a rising tide lifting all boats, instead of only the yachts of the wealthy. If the system doesn't work for working people, then the system itself is corrupt. ML |
