raise living wage now

MINIMUM WAGE

It should be at least $10 dollars an hour - a 'living wage'. Now I know what your thinking: "what about those greedy landlords that would raise rent on the new living wage earners?" Well we could freeze rent that land owners could charge. Lets call it 'rent control'. And while were at it, I'm worried about the food supply. What if there is a drought or a hail storm? Farmers are the backbone of our economy. We need 'subsidy' and 'insurance' protections for them. Also, cheap goods are made overseas by foreigners. We need a 'tariff' on imported goods to protect good U.S. jobs. Isn't totalitarianship great? Clearly people cannot manage their own lives deciding how much to work for and pay in rent. (And to think that market prices send signals? blasphemy! Centralized planning is the only way if you want justice.) Millions upon millions of Americans are struggling below subsistence. By definition they are dead. Six feet under.
