Elizabeth Warren asks, why hasn't minimum wage kept up with worker productivity? [View all]
It is a beautiful question, because it leads people to see the truth: that the increased profits of the 1% over the past 30 years have come right out of the pockets of the middle and working classes. The financial press (official defenders of the 1%) are up in arms, but they have no defense. Their own statistics beg the question - if American workers are the most productive in the world, why is it they aren't sharing the wealth?
