1. Deplete Their Wealth
Recent analysis has determined that half of America is in or near poverty.
2. Strip Away Their Income
Earnings due to workers for their years of productivity have been
withheld by people in power. Based on inflation, the minimum wage should
be nearly three times its current level. An investor report from J.P. Morgan noted a direct correlation between record profits and cutbacks in wages.
3. Take Away Their Homes
A study by
the National Low Income Housing Coalition concluded that an average
American renter would need to earn $18.92 per hour -- well over twice
the minimum wage -- to afford a two-bedroom apartment.
6. Most Insidious: Let Their Children Suffer
The U.S. has one of the highest relative child poverty rates in the developed world.
