PSA 📣📣📣

Extreme wealth is a global issue. It knows no national bounds. Influence can be bought across the world. The central way oligarchs corrupt international cooperation is through buying national leaders. #TaxTheRich #PayThePeople #SpreadThePower

This is your Tuesday morning reminder that the federal minimum wage is still a measly $7.25 an hour.

It puts a full-time worker below the poverty line.

It’s worth less than at any time since 1949.

It would be $23 today if it had kept pace with the growth in productivity. #PayThePeople

All workers deserve a living wage.

Let us be clear: If you work full-time, you should not struggle to rent an apartment or own your home, to put food on your table, or to save for an emergency and your retirement.

You should not struggle to live, period. #PayThePeople

The clearest sign we need a change is when the same paycheck is bringing less and less home, for more and more people. #PayThePeople

We cannot accept the fact that, in the United States, there is not a single county where a full-time worker making the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour can afford essentials.

This should not be a reality in the richest country in the history of the world. #TaxTheRich #PayThePeople

In case no one has told you this today: The Republican budget bill is the largest transfer of wealth from working Americans to the rich in our history. #TaxTheRich #PayThePeople #SpreadThePower

Here's our take: if all our country's economic success is floating to the top, we should be ashamed. When the concentration of wealth is in the hands of a select few, it is not a measure of success for our country. #TaxTheRich #PayThePeople #SpreadThePower

In Whiteville, NC, Jeff, a member of The Deciders, breaks down what “tax the rich” really means to him.

It’s not about punishment. It’s about priorities.

We're completely obsessed with the idea of paying people a living wage. By that we mean they're paid enough to take care of themselves and their families. Paid enough that they can save and plan for their future. Paid enough where an emergency won't bankrupt them. #PayThePeople

You've seen us talk *a lot* about raising the minimum wage because the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is not enough for anyone to survive on.

It's time Congress confront this issue seriously and pass legislation to #PayThePeople.

Were you today years old when you found out the minimum wage was last raised exactly 17 years ago today?

On the anniversary of the last time the federal minimum wage was increased, we are saying loud and clear that it is time to raise wages and #PayThePeople.

"It is embarrassing not to pay employees well." We could not agree more, @mcuban.bsky.social.

Even wealthy business owners like us know that paying poverty wages isn't a sustainable business model. Let's team up to #PayThePeople, Mark!

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.

It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.

We must unrig the system.
