    This seems like right wing bait. I don’t have a problem with people making 200-300k especially in a very high cost of living place like NYC. I have a problem with people who literally make 1,000x that. Let’s not forget the math on how absurd being a billionaire is. Working class needs to stop this infighting and focus on the real problem.

        Agreed, should be tied to minimum wage. That said, the cynic in me thinks they’d just change the multiplier as they pleased.

      Is it bad optics? Absolutely.

      But anyone who earns an actual paycheck should be on the same team, or at least given the benefit of the doubt.

      The enemy makes their money by simply having money, that’s not what this is.
