@SenSanders should be credited for this.

Bernie sanders has been saying exactly that so long that $15 is no longer enough.

So Americans who work less than 40hrs/week or who are disabled should live in poverty? This is a horrible, ableist argument.

No one should need to spend that much time at work. That's the elephant in the room. We give away our lives to our labor. We're like mannequins. (image copyright myself, from my book... just ask for deets).

Tie it directly to Congress pay raises!

The minimum wage should be at least $20/hr.

And no American who for decades has been working 40 hours per week should be reduced to working 5 days a week totaling 25 (or less). Criminal.

It was @BernieSanders who said it.

That's a great statement. Just as Bernie had said for many years. Hard workers should never live in poverty.
Replying to @marwilliamson @JoeBiden
Only those that work under 40 hours?
