The $19 an Hour the Taxpayer Already Pays
Declared advocacy, not analysis
This column is written under the declared perspective of Hector Rentier, whose values file states the perspective from which it is written. Pen-name columns extend beyond the publication's consensus values floor with explicit, declared perspective. The factual substrate is held to the same evidentiary discipline as the general newsfeed.
The employer saves. The taxpayer fills the gap.
