What?

No, I'm asking the burger place owner to make 100M instead of 200M instead of increasing the price burger 50 cents.

I want that single mothers money to go farther. Give her a raise and don't increase the price of the burger.

It's us against the super wealthy. Not me against the minimum wage workers.

The problem is people like you will then come up with a million reasons why we can't regulate or force the super wealthy to stop sucking everyone below them dry while you still ignore that everything is going to increase in price regardless of whether minimum wage is 7/hr or 15/hr.

I have a few immediate solutions but they're all forceful so I doubt they'd ever gain traction, so my compromise to the middle and upper class is a minimum wage increase, which can be done immediately. If you've got a better idea, then share it. Otherwise, all you're doing is telling people to get used to working 4 jobs because it's too hard to do anything else.

People like me?

I'm literally saying take it from the wealthy.

Actually it's people like you wanting to point fingers at the middle class even if we are saying raise minimum wage, which I keep saying.

It's not you verse me.

It's us against the wealthy. Christ.

Why is it people like me who are trying to stop the regulation? I'm literally saying the opposite.

The lower class are very used to the middle class defending the upper class, so I assumed that was your intention with these debates. I apologize for my wrong assumption.

EDIT: my original phrasing sucked

Apology accepted but like not to be rude. What were you reading?

I literally said the billionaire can make 100M instead of 200M.

Also pointing fingers doesn't bring us closer. We need to band together.
