Minimum wage is trapped too low. CEO/worker pay gap increases widely.

January 17, 2022 GlenAnderson 0

For many years Congress has refused to raise the minimum wage. Many states refuse to raise their minimum wage above the federal minimum. Meanwhile, extremely rich people have gotten extremely more rich. Rich people and big businesses fund Congressional candidates’ campaigns. We must get Big Money out of election campaigns. And we need the news media to report more vigorously on the horrible inequality between extremely rich people and everybody else. See this powerful image about the VERY LOW federal minimum wage and the EXTREMELY HIGH INCOMES of corporate executives: (It is safe to open this image, even if you […]

Empowering the Progressive Movement: Watch Glen’s video. Read transcript and more resources.

June 27, 2021 GlenAnderson 0

The July 2021 interview on “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” TV series helps you and other people make more progress when we work on issues you care about. Many of the issues we care about are HUGE issues in which WE are the UNDERDOGS. Powerful forces created the unjust status quo — and powerful forces sustain the injustices we are trying to eliminate. Because we are the underdogs in these big issues, we need to empower ourselves and bring many people together so we can organize large nonviolent grassroots movements to solve the problems and create peaceful and just societies at the […]

Support Senator Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax.

March 7, 2021 GlenAnderson 0

This information came from www.americansfortaxfairness.org: Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax is here! And it’s exactly what we need to start creating jobs and rebuilding our communities ― pulling us out of this pandemic-caused recession. The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act ― introduced this week by Senator Warren as well as Representatives Pramila Jayapal and Brendan Boyle ― would place a two-cent tax on every dollar of wealth between $50 million and $1 billion, and a three-cent tax on every dollar of wealth over $1 billion. It’ll raise $3 trillion over 10 years from the richest 0.05% and allow us to invest in […]
