Corporate profits are at record highs.The stock markety keeps flirting with record highs. For some, that’s record income, but for labor, where salaries have remained pretty flat and behind inflation, things haven’t been so good.
Wages should be matched to local economies, while in some areas that $15 an hour is still not enough to live comfortably on a single income, it is higher than necessary in other regions. There CAN be a “national” minimum wage that is based on a scale determined by using SMSA’s among other things. The strongest economy is one where every worker can afford to meed needs,, and purchase what they make.
ONLY selling 14 million cars in the U.S. this year, so where does the “terrible” economy come in? Granted, it could be better for the middle class (workers), but it isn’t hardly in the tank as Republicans want to claim.

How much did the economy grow last quarter? Growing is not a negative number.
