About the Wealthy

I am surprised at how much the news contains certain elements almost every day. One element is how much power the wealthy have over society. I read today an article in The New York Times about how the Nat. Restaurant Association, in certain large states, mandates that restaurant workers take an intro class on food safety. The worker usually pays for the training themselves. 

The ironic thing is the money for the trainings goes toward the Nat. Rest. Association's lobbying budget. And one of the things the association lobbies for is to keep the federal minimum wage what it is.So the workers are paying money, in part, to fight for things against their best interests.

Indeed, another example of the wealthy/powerful rigging the system.
