When people who have millions of $ of personal wealth deny a minimum wage hike to 100s of 1000s of people who would be lifted out of poverty by it, they shouldn’t be able to hide their heartless behavior behind the ridiculous claim that they’re being good stewards of the economy

It doesn’t lift them out of poverty. It rations available jobs, meaning less people work. Businesses will close.

The federal minimum wage was LAST raised on July 24, 2009, when it rose from $6.55 to $7.25 per hour. And during a time of the Great Recession. Let that sink in.
Class Traitors, Marianne, class traitors each and all. Glad to have you with us comrade!
