"in its attempt to close the income gap"

Hoe utterly stupid. Even with a $15/hour wage, the annual income barely tops $30,000. How does that "close the income gap" in any meaningful way? When people talk about the "income gap," they are comparing the wages of ordinary people to the income of billionaires. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with that.

It’s not designed to close the income gap. It’s designed to put more money in Union pockets.
