Loading ...Your: If they work and work 2 or 3 jobs and can hardly pay for food and rent and will never be able to afford a house isn’t that a lot like slavery?”
Yes sort of, but in reality slavery provided food medical care and a home. Minimum wage today does not. The young people did very well from 1945 until its peak in 1970. THEN all the IMPORTS started coming in. By 1975 I knew the future was going to be bad.
Minimum wage today needs to be $40 to $50/hr for entry level to move out of the home, buy a car and get married and have kids like I did after graduating high school in 1962. Anybody that bought imported cars was eating apples from the wrong tree.
