It’s Time to Push For The Living Wage ☀
Conservatives will also contend that the soultion lies not in mandating wage increases, but in giving the poor the tools and resources necessary to compete effectively in the marketplace. In fact, both should be done. We can meet immediate needs now by immediately raising wages, but this does not exclude us from also promoting their long-term self-development. This means putting a heavy amount of investment into rescuing our failing public schools; working vigorously to redevelop economically devastated communities; and making some real reform to our health care system that is so obviously failing the poor and the working class.
