The problem/question is whether Americans are willing to pay more at the grocery store and everywhere else to provide other Americans a living wage.  Our problem as citizens is that the government has pandered to us as consumers foremost since the economic woes of the 1970s, not as workers.  So our wages have stagnated, but cheap baubles made by wage-slaves in China make us think we're still well to do.  When we start having to pay the wages of a free man or woman, and not a Chinese prison camp inmate or an undocumented illegal fruit picker getting paid under the table, to produce our stuff, a lot of people are going to wake up to how impoverished the last four decades have left us in the middle and working class, while the people who invite the Clintons and Trump to cocktail parties buy megayachts and private jets.
