1. El Salario Mínimo Federal: Una Trampa de Pobreza Oficial.
El estancamiento del salario mínimo federal en $7.25 por hora desde 2009 ha provocado que, para 2025, un trabajador a tiempo completo gane menos que el umbral de pobreza para una persona soltera. Esta situación es descrita repetidamente como una "trampa de pobreza" y una decisión política que castiga a la clase trabajadora.
- In 2025, 7.25 an hour is a poverty trapnot a wage. A full-time worker earns less than the federal poverty line.
- The federal minimum wage is officially a poverty wage in 2025.
- The federal poverty line is almost exactly what you make working full time at federal minimum wage.
- A full-time minimum wage worker earns 15,080. The poverty line for a one-person household is now 15,650. The federal minimum wage is now officially a poverty wage.
2. La Explotación Corporativa y el Subsidio del Contribuyente.
Existe una fuerte crítica hacia las grandes corporaciones que pagan salarios de subsistencia, obligando a sus empleados a recurrir a beneficios gubernamentales como SNAP o Medicaid. Los contribuyentes terminan subsidiando indirectamente los modelos de negocio de empresas altamente rentables, lo que se percibe como "bienestar corporativo" o "socialismo corporativo".
- Its truly astounding that employers are subsidised by taxpayers so they can pay poverty wages.
- The problem is corporations paying poverty wages and expecting the government to make up the shortage.
- The biggest beneficiaries of welfare support are the corporates paying wages so low that their employees are trapped in poverty and get universal credit, like tesco, mitie, serco and asda. Youre paying their wages bill.
- It is- much poverty originate from wealthy corp ind paying workers poverty wages providing few benefits. Tax payers should not be subsiding wealthy corp and ind.
- If your business model relies on paying poverty wages to employees to survive, it deserves to die.
3. Demandas Urgentes: Salarios Dignos y Fin de la Pobreza Laboral.
La comunidad exige que el salario mínimo se eleve a un "salario digno" (living wage) que permita a los trabajadores cubrir sus necesidades básicas sin depender de la asistencia. Se mencionan cifras de $15, $20, $25 o incluso $30 por hora como necesarias para revertir la pobreza laboral y restaurar la dignidad del trabajo.
- No one who works full-time should be in poverty. Its unconscionable that businesses - especially big ones - dont provide wages that actually pay the bills while turning massive profits.
- The only acceptable goal is living wages. Minimum wages leave many workers below the poverty level.
- If the minimum wage had kept up to the increases that the congress kept giving its members there would be no crisis today.
- Unionize. Next step globalunions their poverty is our wealth. Our wealth is their poverty. Divide and rule. And keep minimum wage at 7.25 usd.
- A 20 minimum wage is a poverty wage. Less than that is indentured servitude.
- If you work full time, you should not be living below the poverty line.
