Honestly, it was so long ago that I have no idea but I was working at a dry cleaner at the time.

Good! They compromised on healthcare and instead of a 1 payer system we got what we have now...stop trying to please the republicans and their rich backers and just push this through. MILLIONS depend on it.

Oh and for those that say it will destroy jobs,that lie has been debunked.

Raising the minimum wage does not destroy jobs | Al Jazeera America
I hope this is one of those things that Democrats stick to their guns with to get it done. Though at this point, most of the blue states have already increased their minimum wage above federal levels, if the red states want to get left behind, I say that is their problem.

I have no reason to lie. Why would I?? You used to be able to live on minimum wage. I did it, sorry if you couldn't but it was only myself to take care of. My point is that you can't live off minimum wage anymore. Many would agree with me.
