That goes for just about all taxes.
Some of the CEO's salary should go into higher wages for employees.

The top 1% are parasites. It's high time they were treated as such.

So many GOP and business types refuse to discuss increasing the minimum wage and also want to cut out the very things that allow the working poor to survive. I say these people are just plain stupid and have done much to destroy the hopes and dreams of those who are not of the Privileged class.

there would be no minimum wage. They represent business interests only.
And in my opinion anyone against raising the minimum wage is in fact a republican.
