Here are some places to start: raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. If you work full-time, you should be able to support your family.
Tie the minimum wage to inflation to make it a true living wage. Then Washington can’t keep playing politics with our economic security.

On top of that, we need to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, College for All Act, and guarantee paid sick and family leave for every worker.
-
That's just where we start, but the bottom line is this: inaction on income inequality should no longer be an option.

This is legit the easiest and most obvious answer. I don't even support a federal 15, but this is a no-brainer

Better yet, mandate lowest company wage must be at least 1/20th what the CEO makes. And no shifty "benefits" - what CEO actually makes.

Are you in support of a $15 Federal Minimum wage now?

It's in the official Democratic Party platform, and I still think it's a mistake.

I think social security should do the same. Low end soc sec people can't live like it is.

Would it be more effective to ONLY give tax breaks/deductions to businesses who pay a living wage, by locally appropriate standards?

People earning the minimum wage need to move up the ladder, not ask for more pay for a job a robot can do
