Not to be a devil's advocate but the little people aren't paying taxes. The top 20% pay the taxes for the most part, the problem is the money in the first place giving too small of a group of people too much say in how everyone lives.

I think you're missing the point. Purchasing a utility item for its utility is fine, just don't splurge on a car when that money is far better put into housing, healthier foods, education, etc.

Remember, if you live near a major road you and your family are breathing in brake and tire dust constantly and it will take years off of your life. Not to mention the lower quality of that shorter life.

Authentically authentic candidate per the Dem guidelines. Didn't stand up for rail workers then got heat for it, now he is a workers champion while also being business friendly. Incredible.

We need to vote for people that will actual codify real change and stop straddling the line. We need representation that is not some rich family's kids.

If worker unions were required by law then I would agree. The issue is that companies will corner the job market to suppress wages. The government applies some pressure the opposite way via minimum wages to help force progress. Self checkouts and various other automated processes don't occur without some kind of selection pressure.

Think of minimum wages as forcing weaker companies out of the market.

Worker rights kinda suck and it can be difficult to form communities due to being more spread out and car centric.
