The range goes from about $18 an hour up to that top rate of $32, according to Marick Masters, a labor expert and business professor at Wayne State University.

So it’s something like $40k/year to $56k/year. Yeah, that’s 40%.

The more you look at it the more you realize we’re not asking for much when demands like these are made. It’s peanuts to the rich, but they’re leeches that need to steal and control everything.
