When a society grows more unequal unrest and leftward lurches seem inevitable.

What labor reform has this administration pushed for?

Stopping illegal immigration and slowing legal immigration.

Why can't we turn central America into a manufacturing hub? It would take years

The hard part is much of that inequality comes from the govt trying to fix it

What if your IQ is 85? 40hrs a week @ $9 /hr? This is a recipe for disaster.

The numbers of people even below an IQ of 85 is significant as well.
