Income inequality matters a lot to me because America is supposed to be the greatest country ever, (opinionated.) There are tons of resources here that aren't available in other third world countries and here were are, still having workers who cannot make a living off of minimum wage. It's revolting. We have people putting in hours, many hours and can't even earn a decent living. Housing keeps gentrifying and the money more you're allowed to make off of minimum wage the less hours you work. Unbelievable right? We fight for more money but then they cut our hours. The rich keeps getting more rich meanwhile the poor stays poor. So much for our economic system right?
What do I hope to achieve with this goal?
With creating this blog, I hope to achieve my goal of further extending my education. I mean there's nothing wrong with a minimum wage job, even the jobs you don't want have someone doing them. I need to set the bar for myself and my soon to be family in the future. I need stability. With doing this research, I realized that a lot of families are not surviving or even barely making it by on minimum wage. Things need to change. How can we strive for better when we can't even help our fellow brother or sister out? The change starts with us. If you're only concerned with yourself and ways to only benefit you, there will never be a change because a job just doesn't concern YOU, it concerns their other EMPLOYEES who work their hardest and strive for better too. They also need someone standing in their corner, vouching for them as well.
