On Living Wages



If you would like to get paid a living wage, you need to be willing to pay living wages. That is how you build a sustainable society, within a capitalistic system; one in which each member can contribute and each member can benefit, and all can accomplish life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. What, I ask, is liberty? I certainly do not believe this country's founding members believed it was working three minimum wage jobs, no, that is cloaked slavery, that is not liberty. What is a living wage? What is it that makes one moment of time not in the company of your beloveds, your child, your mate, worth? What is one moment of time not used making food, building shelter, creating, actively contributing to a healthier, safer, more beautiful World, worth? Know your own worth. For every minute you give up of your life, is now gone; to what end, was it worth it, can you now provide food, shelter, creativity, happiness for yourself, for your beloveds? If the answer is no, stop. What steps do you now need to take to achieve that in your life? There is enough, what choices are you making to be part of the system of truly living?
