You're too dumb to get the point, apparently. The powers that be thank god for your lack of reasoning.
The point is, if the minimum wage had risen at the same rate as
worker productivity it would be a hell of a lot higher than it is now. Productivity is way up. Corporate profits are way up. Corporate America has billions and they're largely sitting on it. The
workers are not benefiting from this rise in productivity and profits. Who is?
