Before 1934, a factory worker could not strike or engage in collective bargaining. The corporations paid workers wages high enough to keep them alive. The police would kill any laborer that corporate wanted killed. Police routinely clubbed and shot anyone that striked for higher wages or safe working conditions.
The Wagner Act changed this rule of law in our nations. The Wagner Act legalized the right for workers to organize and strike for higher wages, insurance and safe working conditions. At the same time, Congress passed into law a law that set a minimum wage for non-unionist.
These two laws are laws that regulate the distribution of wealth, dividing the profit between the owner and the worker. These new set of rules created a fair distribution of wealth. The corporations have sought to kill those laws ever since their passage.
Now, the corporations have been successful in persuading you to abolish these wage laws. The wealth will no longer be distributed with the worker that created the wealth.
These laws created the well to do we call the middle class. If you vote with the corporations, the middle class will die. Much of it is already dead. A vote for the corporations will create a United States with 95% poverty and 5% rich, like we were in 1932.
