The top 10% control about 75% of the wealth in the United States.  That is about $72 trillion.  The $23 billion in minimum wage violations would be about 3 tenths of one percent of that amount.

The middle class is losing trillions to the upper class and the upper class has them all worked up over 3 tenths of one percent of the wealth split up among 90% of the population.

And the top 10% pay about 70% of the taxes.

What do folks what: 

1. successful people to make less?

2. Give more of their money to the poor?

3. Throw it all in a big pot and split it evenly among everyone?

I'm middle class and I'm doing fine.
