Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Herminio harvests strawberries in Santa Maria, CA: I get paid $2.30 per tray. I harvest many boxes to be able to provide for what my family needs - approximately 180 per day. I work very fast to do so and leave with my back hurting as it is a very tiring job. #WeFeedYou

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Workers are not asking to get rich. They just want to afford three meals a day.
In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should work for starvation wages.
It is time to raise the disgraceful $7.25/hr federal minimum wage to a living wage of AT LEAST $17/hr.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.
