Create laws that put a percentage cap on the amount an employer can pay themselves over their employees. The boss was making a dollar and we were making a dime. Then the boss took out a loan, paid himself a million dollars, and left us with a dollar. In turn, the boss used all of his millions to buy houses to rent out. Then he raised the rent two dollars. The employees couldn't afford to compete with the boss nor pay the cost of the rent he required so he told them work hard and someday... The employees only ever made enough to make it to work for the boss each day. To keep this the standard the boss gave two hundred thousand to the lawmaker and said hush. They are exaggerating, see how much abundance you have for all your hard work. The lawmaker agreed and did nothing about the boss's greed. If the lawmakers won't make a change that leaves the employees. A new study finds that renters must earn an hourly wage of $28.42 to afford a two-bedroom apartment at fair market rates in Maine. But for many Maine renters, their wages far fall below that. The report, from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, calculates what's known as the state's housing wage — the full-time wages that a renter would need to earn to afford a two-bedroom home without paying more than 30% of their income on housing and utilities. The coalition also analyzed wages for Maine's most common occupations and found that few earn income high enough to afford a two-bedroom rental. The solution to the working/middle class income crisis is to create laws that require employers to pay each of their employees a fixed percentage of 10 percent of what they pqy thenselves or their CEO. If the CEO makes a dollar I make a dime. If the CEO makes a million then I make 100,000. Its will still be supply and demand based and they can still fill special at the top.
