So Americans who work less than 40hrs/week or who are disabled should live in poverty? This is a horrible, ableist argument. I know you know better than this @marwilliamson

The best argument for raising the minimum wage to $15 comes from @JoeBiden: No American who works 40 hours a week should live in poverty.

No, I'm referring to Joe's statement that you referenced. My wife has 200k of student loan debt but can't work in her field because of a debilitating disease. All I mean is we need to move away from the 40hr/week rhetoric.

Our goal should be the complete eradication of poverty. I was speaking specifically to his comment about raising the minimum wage to $15.
