1/3 of American workers live on less than $15 an hour. 68,000 people die in America every year from lack of healthcare. America’s poverty rate is higher than in any other advanced democracy. None of that is necessary. And none of it is excusable.

The fact that you fundraise under ActBlue invalidates your previously perceived merit and intent. You are not a solution to any problem, at this point

“American workers” starts at 16. A 16yr old hasn’t earned $15/hr yet, sorry. Over 44% of low wage workers are under 24. Source: statista.com/statistics/2988…

You're right! None of that is necessary, and there is no excuse, for we already know the path to eliminating poverty. #UBI

Inflation caused by Biden didn't help.

Seriously are you kidding me?? The $15 an hour tweet. You just tweeted this a day ago. The problem is inflation. It's not hard to figure out. Every time wages go up the prices of goods and services go up to cover the cost because workers at the top aren't taking a pay cut.

Min. wage & unions are not the answer. They could remove the tax burden on anyone making less than the prior year's national average. Could be a change in the tax brackets or a $60k standard deduction. Also, lower retirement to 55 and pay $60k to all retirees.
