It is impossible to help unemployed and low-income workers, casino, keno, and lottery losers, waitresses that pander for life for $2.00 per hour, volunteers without wages, and nonunion parasites willing to work for fewer wages than they can afford life.
Reality demands these people get an agreement (union contract) with every corporation, farmer, business, outsourcer sweatshop, and nonprofit, tax-exempt, organization and Church. Agreeing to market the cost in the wholesale and retail price of his or her product and service. Of every workers, consumers, and taxpayers living (including pension and health care). Enabling parents to love, nurse, nurture, discipline, protect, and provide, for every child (job) they conceive and fund schools, infrastructure, national security, government services, and etc.; with money derived from wages or independent business profit.
