Unfair wages allows undermine of any workforce or life worth having

A huge part of the problem is the Jeffersonian notion that "the government that governs best is the one that governs least."

Rebuttal To Anti-Fair Wage Rhetoric. Millions of Dollars?

In repose to Hank Heller and Councilman Justin Musella on PLA 1861-2023

Being against a fair-wages shows a self-centered corporate type anti-democratic way of thinking that sets one against any hope of a common good through evidence of a just and equitable economy. A continuation of the trickle up to the corporatocracy of CEO's, and their tax evasions to the Country and any hope of a common good.
Divide millions, whatever millions you did not mention, by the number of taxpayers, minus money's from other sources, and we see, the millions divided by a collective of a common good does not amount to much.

This same element of anti-fair wages is also an opponent of affordable housing mandates, immigrant labor hired by private contractors, and a system of basic passive rights of citizens, under a pretext of; "who will pay?" As citizens we are denied even basic passive rights of said citizenship: 1. Health Care including Dental w/taxes paid already 2. Affordable Housing according to a set amount according to income 3. Meaningful work of actual need subsidized by government tax..

Instead we are subjected to private interest and making the advantaged class already beyond any economy even richer and more corrupted. The cult of the individual has subverted the collective sense of a Nation. Does it makes sense to be taxed in one's wages, and not have medicinal benefits, like an elected official would, and for life?
How does depending on having a job and relying on an employer to pay for a basic human right, Health Care, makes sense? How does market will bare rents for living space makes sense? God/Nature created the land, not the real estate moguls who leach life from us with unjust rents and fees..Rent should never exceed a certain amount of ones income.

So Musella says he is obligated to the taxpayers, but apparently not to Union Labor taxpayer citizens?

In many ways this nation is still in a plantation master-slave paradigm, as if we only have rights that the slaveholders intended to grant us. Politics is power and control, not a process working toward the "perfect union" or democracy as a just and equitable economy or way of life. Our Constitution allowed man as property, or that special form of property. Citizens United; corporations are people, or better than people; a minority rule now manifest ; corporate power over the republic..

On top of this add the "right to work" or the right to be subjected, not subordinate to a just system
Remember in a corporatocracy there is no participation by citizens in the means and ways of a better-way; only that less bad, is better than not good.

Remember the more privatized our economy becomes the less freedoms and benefits of liberty we will have as a people. Government as intended, is good government, which we are in danger of losing because of private forces. A huge part of the problem is the Jeffersonian notion that “the government that governs best is the one that governs least.” While that is true as regards individual liberty, it is absolutely dangerous to think that way as regards the economy. So you see we have an upside-down republic; capitalism for the working class, socialism for the corporate powers. More tax subsidies go to fossil fuel interest, than education, health-care and defense. Money is not the problem, it's how it is being used, the people who produce the value of money are not served by it's value.

There are many problems and even emergencies that face us. We are not addressing any of them properly according to their scope of magnitude. The only solution to Corporate Greed is Union Power, in leu of a just and enlightened governing class. in the economy to nowhere, we kill the host, the host being the worker.

Sincerely
