@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk In the late sixties the bottom to top pay ratio was 20:1 so there is a LOT of room to raise the lowest wages and relieve cost of living disparities without having to use taxes. The reason businesses don't, especiallymega corporations, is sheer unadulterated greed and the latest multi-billion windfall in the banking sector is proof of tgat.
