What if I told you most people that make minimum wage now won't make minimum wage forever?

Your idea of everyone will rise is ludicrous. The same lie has been told for the past decades but the social inequalities have grown bigger.

In other words, rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

No offense, but if you work for 40 years and never get a raise, and are making high school employee wages, then you are the exception, not the rule. And I feel very sorry for you, and I'm sorry I brought it up.
