Reduce congressional salary to state minimum wage
RED ALERT RED ALERT
Petition to lower congressional wages to minumum wage.
Will it work? Probably not. However, can we please see how many signatures this can get?
Imagine how funny it would be and telling of the times if a majority of the country signs this?
We’re in an affordability crisis because workers aren’t being paid at the same levels they earned in the past.
B.C.'s new employer health tax could lead to higher property taxes and lower wages, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
...so fast, says Kris Sims, the organization's B.C. director. She says the numbers don't tell the whole story.
"While we finally get to drop the medical services premium and fully switch over to the employer health tax, taxpayers need to remember that we are all still paying the tax, just in a different form," Sims said at a news conference outside of Surrey City Hall.
"You're going to be paying it through lower wages in some cases, higher property taxes in other cases and higher costs for your items at stores, because employers, job creators, are now bearing that burden."
As the world becomes increasingly “flat,” it has become clearer that functions that were once performed in the next room or a floor away, can now be done from around the world.
As the gig economy aged, it became clear that independence, flexibility, and freedom were not its only characteristics—that the experience wasn’t wonderful for everyone. One of the most startling reports was Washington Post reporter Lydia Depillis’s September 2014
Workers in the gig economy were disproportionately poor. Compared with the American population, about twice as many gig economy workers earned less than $30,000 per year, below what MIT calculates to be the US living wage for a family of four. In New York City, where the living wage for a family of four is $46,000 in a year, a group that said it represents 50,000 ride-hail drivers told the New York Times that more than one-fifth of its members earned less than $30,000 in a year, before expenses. When gig economy leaders had conveyed their visions early on, they had failed to distinguish between the experiences of people with relatively scarce skills—freelance graphic designers, journalists, movie production crews, programmers—and those with less scarce skills, like house cleaners and drivers and Mechanical Turk workers.
It's True: Down Isn't Flat
Mitch McConnell wants you to know he is so upset about flat wages for working Americans, he has introduced legislation to lower wages for construction workers.
