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

You'd have a point if the minimum wage were being paid by those millionaires. Better to do a UBI and let Bezos pay to keep people afloat, not raise costs for small businesses already struggling to survive against Walmart and Amazon.

Millions of people. Why do these people still not understand that the pie gets bigger?!
The #ECONOMY is nowhere mentioned in the #CONSTITUTION in any form this includes all of the 27 #AMENDMENTS

We are the economy. It is on our backs that the top 1%makes their wealth. $15/hr is hardly enough to lift a single person out of poverty, let alone a family.

Especially when they're being good stewards of the lobbyists who bribe them.

Tell that big lie enough times and soon you can lie to yourself and believe it.

Reps are paid about 174K right? I googled. That's a little over $83 an hour. But they're outraged at the thought of $15 as a minimum wage?! What the f**k?
