#living wage
Help us reach out to the US Congress in support of a law that limits a company’s highest-earner’s pay to a multiple of the lowest earner’s pay, with increased multiples for larger companies. Basically, this would be a law that says the rich shouldn’t be allowed to make an unreasonably larger amount of money than the poor at their same company.
Help Us Reduce Income Inequality. If you’re interested, contact us on social media or at [email protected]

Even if you don’t have the time to get involved, please reblog this to spread the word.
If you want to help us out, we can send you information that can help you write your letter to congress. If you would like to help in a different way, please let us know.

The irony is that there are plenty of millennials trying to purchase a home, the problem isnt due to a lack of funds, but a lack of supply of homes not meeting the high demand.

Hey Walmart,
This Thanksgiving, why not give thanks to your workers by giving them a decent wage? You have so much - why won’t you share the wealth?

Reblog and sign if you agree that instead of running food drives to ask its own employees to feed their hungry coworkers, Walmart should pay a decent wage!

A new report shows that Walmart could double wages for associates just by not spending billions of dollars to repurchase its own stock: http://bit.ly/1ivFlNmhttp://ift.tt/1e44hbj

Colbert on Walmart’s food drive, “You see, Walmart is taking care of its employees—not living-wage care but can-of-peas care.”
… and on income inequality with former Labor Secretary, Robert Reich
Great article in the Boston Globe highlighting the reality that most fast food workers face.
This is why we need the Fight for 15!

The List:
carrot, eggplant, arbi,
capsicum, green peas -
press one for more options -
apples, new list apps
applesauce and ketchup
not Heinz but the cheaper one,
a new pressure cooker because the whistle doesn’t work
And with each tweak it tizzles out more,
theek nahi hai, yaar
no matter how many times you take it in,
it’s just jugaad again,
a permanent temporary fix,
so we need a new one, stainless
steel and big, bara
to cook all of your dreams.
grand total rages against your wallet,
paper thin but it’s digital,
anyway,
your eyes glaze, blaze
as the bag boy, too tired, too hassled,
too underpaid squishes the eggs
beneath the cooker
the shells quake in your eardrums
the smell of something rotten
beneath all those discounts.
-it’s what you don’t see that matters, Kelsey Ray Banerjee
Not to be a drooling socialist cuck, but if a full day’s labour can’t purchase three square meals, 24 hour’s worth of rent and utilities, a fraction of a month’s clothing budget, and a reasonable portion to be saved for when you can no longer comfortably work, what the fuck are we doing shit for
