Today's minimum wage is still $7.25. A third of American workers work for less than $15/hr., and half of those cannot find a place to live. A living wage in most major cities is over $20/hr. This is how America creates, maintains and ignores a permanent underclass. It should be clarion call to a justice, conscience, and a revolution at the ballot box. marianne2024.com

$20/hr isn't enough
Replying to @marwilliamson
That’s unbelievable. Canadas is $15 and over in some Provinces. How can anyone live on $7.25/hr.?

Minimum wage should be zero, the government should not be involved. All it does is harm the poor, minorities, small businesses and rural areas. Cost of living varies widely by location. Fire your economic advisor. medium.com/the-enclave-of-ot…

Why are you running as a democrat ? A democrat is everything they claim a republican is and vice versa. Why be a part of that ? The virtue that makes you want to be a democrat o longer exists in the party. They are evil absolute.

you should know, if you don't that the ONE and ONLY time in all of US history that a political party has not endorsed its incumbent who chose to run was 1856 when Dems refused to support the pro-slavery Franklin Pierce. Maybe stop pretending this is a thing.

In most major cities, state minimum wage overrides the federal minimum wage. In Boston, there's a citywide mandatory minimum that's even higher than the state. Localities will solve problems on their own. The federal government just needs to leave us alone.

I know most people aren't engineers but it amazes me how many believe this is how it works.

Real minimum wage is $0.

How much do you make, Marianne? In your political career, can you describe any accomplishments you have had to reduce the cost of living?
Replying to @marwilliamson
I resent your accusation that America does this. Yes there are employers, and others but not the entire country. If you can't chose your words any better than that maybe you should refrain from posting and speaking publicly.
