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

I lived in MA for 5.5 yrs, until 5 months ago where the minimum wage is $15 and all have access to health care. There were some positives and there were some negatives. Still haven't figured out which is better. However, $8 per hour is silly to expect anyone to live on.

It's been proven ... that when you raise wages ... everybody wins! ... "Research from CAP and many economists shows that getting money into the hands of those who are most likely to spend it will boost their communities and the national economy and also reduce federal spending."

They don't want anything that takes away from their profits. The fortunes at the top are made on poverty wages at the bottom.
