A common practice by corporate greed is to have the minimum wage worker help pay for the bonuses a lot of corporation executives receive, unknown by the common man or woman. It is called the dead peasant life insurance policies, which a lot of companies take out on their employees without the employees knowing they do this.
So a minimum wage employee making $15 thousand to $18 thousand a year would be worth $1 million to the corporation if they die. Walmart is famous for this. Is the corporation you work for doing this? It would be good if the wage slaves made $15 to $16 an hour as a minimum wage so they could buy life insurance for their families. This is just one more reason that the wage slaves must take back their commons and workplace and until we do this, this is the way we will be treated—just like slaves—worth more dead than alive.
So now you can see why the large corporations do not want health insurance or Obamacare. The prerequisite for an ideology is the possession of a basic truth. An example, a Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists’ oligarchies. This logically proceeds to the revolution of wage slaves for their rightful share of the commons or a piece of the pie, like a good living wage.
Money has power. To return the economy to cities and to the working poor just by raising the minimum wage, but think what $15 to $16 an hour would mean to the $7.50 an hour wage slaves in Detroit, Michigan. Just that alone could stabilize the city; the workers would be paying taxes off of assistance. Their buying power would be two times as much and they would supporting the cities with sales taxes and businesses would grow and they would hire more and the wages would be spread around and everyone would pay and benefit.
So in a place where there is a bad economy and large poverty, this is where wages should be raised. First to keep workers there, this would turn things around faster than austerity and bankruptcies don’t give. Just pay a living wage.
It’s time for all union members to get rid of the union members and leaders who support the GOP and its Right to Work agenda. Trump, billionaires, the GOP, and the corporate people all hate unions and any union member who votes for these GOP candidates are just scabs who are not only riding on the backs of good hard working union people but also they are dragging their feet to keep the unions from moving forward. If these so called union people cannot see their way to vote and support people who fight and support unions then they should not vote or just get the hell out of our union labor because you are killing us by your foot dragging interference. All of our union people need to understand this is an ‘us against them’ situation and Trump and his anti union corporations are not your friend and if a union person thinks they are you are dumber than a post. Trump and the corporations do not care at all about you or your family. Once they have your vote you’re of no use to them. Trump’s ...
