50 dollar minimum wage

The higher minimum wage would just raise the cost of living and make it a two class system. This would make it to where you have the system of politicians and millionaires versus everyone else. Currently nurses make between 25 and $75 per hour. This would put an annual wage of about $100,000 which is more than teachers law enforcement and most any other worker currently makes without overtime.

The cost of living has already been raised even without doing that .
We already are almost devoid of a middle class any more.

What people want is to be able to eat and afford a roof over their heads . For that they need money, a decent wage - enough money to just exist - minimally .

The government has the funds and means to do it . They need to stop hemorrhaging funds and pour it into the economy .
For the people...
So the people can work and buy....
And keep the economy going .....
