I think he misses the whole atheist shifting towards libertarian and social conservatism movement the last decade.
Iâm confused about the focus on religious affiliation. Income, business ownership, age, and party affiliation would seem to influence opinions on wages more than that.
Religious affiliation coincides pretty strongly with political affiliation and views.
The way these descriptions are written, it might help to see the total numbers of people who identified themselves like this. 
I would bet that there significant correlations between income and the rest of these affiliations, and what kind of jobs those people hold. Probably a lot more janitorial and other low paying âessentialâ workers in the non-white evangelical community than in the white atheists.
From:
Robert Reich calling out the Greed Community. Again.
Starbucks is raising its prices to consumers, blaming the rising costs of supplies. But Starbucks is so profitable it could easily absorb these costs â it just reported a 31% increase in yearly profits. Why didnât it just swallow the cost increases?
Ditto for McDonaldâs and Chipotle, whose revenues have soared but who are nonetheless raising prices. And for Procter & Gamble, which continues to rake in record profits but is raising prices. Also for Amazon, Kroger, Costco and Target.
All are able to pass cost increases on to consumers in the form of higher prices because they face so little competition. As Chipotleâs chief financial officer said, âOur ultimate goal ⌠is to fully protect our margins.â
ETA:
Worse yet, inflation has given some big corporations cover to increase their prices well above their rising costs.
In a recent survey, almost 60% of large retailers say inflation has given them the ability to raise prices beyond whatâs required to offset higher costs.
Meat prices are soaring because the four giant meat processing corporations that dominate the industry are âusing their market power to extract bigger and bigger profit margins for themselvesâ, according to a recent report from the White House National Economic Council (emphasis added).
