Raising the min wage from $7.25/hr to $15/hr would increase wages of 32 million workers, a majority of whom currently live below poverty line. If the Dems refuse to do this, they’ll surrender all moral authority among millions of people whose votes they will need in the midterms.

why stop there? why not force companies to pay their rent or college debt? you want "equality" then you should be forcing bigger companies equal damages to their business. why only destroy the little businesses? ohh right...they don't fill your coffers like walmart & google 🙄

I say pass it. Let the chips fall, lay the cards down. Then when it’s less effective than what you were hoping for we can get back to a conversation about actually helping everyone. #UBI and tax the damn rich and corporations. 4th industrial revolution remember?
