The SYSTEM is not working to your satisfaction. It is not always working to my satisfaction but I am more optimistic for the future.

ER: maybe you’re right, maybe there’s nothing we can do about it

That is the essence of it ER. It is the SYSTEM, not the dems or the GOP.

Nothing else in your sarcastic post has anything to do with what I said, implied or believe

Quoting Buck, who is the most politically active Democrat around here:

I’m not advocating doubling the minimum wage, but it is past time to raise it. $7.25/hour is well below what most companies pay low wage workers. The true minimum wage is closer to $10/hour. The point being you could raise the minimum wage that much without creating higher unemployment. As for inflation, San Francisco has a city minimum wage of $10.55/hour but Big Macs cost on average about 17 cents more than elsewhere.

$10 is reasonable to me. A possible compromise instead of angst over the plight of the American proletariat. Hell, in Alabama most small businesses pay more than minimum wage

It is the SYSTEM and you can elect Democrats for the next hundred years and it will not change to your satisfaction.
