Right now large corporations make record profits for wealthy stockholders because they get by with paying their workers less than a living wage. Then taxpayers make up the difference through government assistance. So basically taxpayers are subsidizing low wages so that wealthy stock holders can get richer.
Income inequality does not equal economic oppression.
What corporation pays workers less than a living wage?
Living wage is a subjective term since individuals decide whether or not to live within their means.
What is wrong with rich people getting richer? As a lawyer, youre rich.
