I certainly agree. At the least there ought to be a not only a much higher MINIMUM wage,but also a MAXIMUM (from all sources of income) with the option for the currently wealthy either to be taxed at 100% over a certain amount or donated to legitimate organizations and charities, e.g. a GENUINE public broadcasting news system that is not subservient to the State dept and CIA, but run as a non-profit by people we vote in who we believe can be trusted (and expelled if not). Yes,we need to find away--not that hard to do--to separate money from political power.
