Including a $15 minimum wage in the House reconciliation bill would not undermine its privileged status in the Senate. Low-wage workers can't afford to wait. It's time to end starvation wages in the United States of America. Let's get this done.

@GunnelsWarren @mucha_carlos @ptcherneva @StephanieKelton Any chance of getting an amendment that makes the $15 indexed to inflation, and active immediately, with businesses getting a refundable tax credit for the difference as the $15 min wage is staircased in?

The real kicker is productivity gains. Factor that in and we can help redirect newly generated wealth into the pockets of workers from the top 1%. If minimum wage had kept pace with inflation +productivity gains it would be $24/hour today.

Btw, thank you for founding the Peace Alliance. And we still need a Cabinet-level Dept of Peace and Non-violence.
