15 and hour in most places in America are starvation wages.
Joe “plagiarist” Biden at it again
A quote from Bernie Sanders in his campaign, circa 2016
Poor decisions = poverty. No responsible American should live in poverty.
Bernie has been saying this for DECADES
$15/hr is $31,200/year(pretax, no days off). That wouldn’t go very far in most major US cities. It’s crazy that $15 is even controversial.
$15/hr. is woefully inadequate. Does anyone ask themselves how regional cost of living factors in? Does that "magically" adjust if this minimum wage is put in? Why is this even being considered? If people need money to live - get it to them. We soak the military in it.
Those are the right words, but words are wind...
