$15 hurts employment opportunities and wage growth for unskilled American workers and disproportionately impacts people of color.

Corporations will cut hours. It wouldn't be the first time.

Our country is one of free enterprise. No one is entitled to any economic benefit that required work. Just because $15 doesn’t mean no consequence. Workers will be laid off and costs passed in to consumers.

Bernie was saying this, Joe is giving it lip service.

The current minimum wage is higher than the poverty level already.
