We can vote with our wallets but there are entire industries that rely on cheap labour to make their billions that doesn't trickle down like promised.

I 100% agree with this, you're right. Tax increases wouldn't be necessary either if they paid people properly to participate in their system beyond basic needs (or below that even).
Totally agree. As my edited post states, those things have to be legislated. Never ever has a corporation just went ahead and paid workers their fair share of company profits. The request has always been met with violence.
