slaves.<\/strong> Slaves would cost CEOs <strong>twice the minimum wage<\/strong> to feed, clothe, house, transport and keep healthy. <strong>Taxpayers now subsidize companies that pay the minimum wage<\/strong> because their workers cannot get by on their paychecks alone. <strong>Minimum wage workers could not show up to work without our welfare.<\/strong> In Walmart&#8217;s case we enrich the three Walton kids, already multi billionaires, while <strong>CEOs routinely make hundreds of times more than their employees.<\/strong> The greed is appalling!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 50px;\">Small businesses, which supply 85% of our jobs, cannot pay $20 per hour for the second rate workers that our schools and immigration policies now put into our marketplace. <strong>Workers will be forced to up their game to merit the higher pay grade.<\/strong> The Valentine Constitution\u2019s K-12 school curriculum does just that by developing the gifts and aptitudes of its students for commerce, teaching them real world skills, and providing mentorships and apprenticeships in their communities. <strong>Adults will learn real world skills in free classes<\/strong> taught by retirees nights and weekends, and in mentoring and apprenticing programs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 50px;\"><strong>A living wage<\/strong> encourages getting and keeping a job, promotes learning new skills, <strong>reduces welfare and crime<\/strong>, creates <strong>stable families<\/strong>, and fosters competition, entrepreneurship and innovation nationwide. <strong>CEO pay will be limited to no more than 100 times<\/strong> the lowest paid employee. <strong>75% of products<\/strong> sold in Costa Rica <strong>will be made in Costa Rica<\/strong> by Costa Rican Citizens. <strong>95% of all jobs<\/strong> performed in Costa Rica will be performed <strong>by Costa Rican citizens.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none
