Tlaib calls for $20-an-hour minimum wage (racism, solution, cost, economy)

Waiting for Omar to outbid her - $40 maybe?

And Free College, and Free Healthcare for ILLEGAL ALIENS. Wouldn't it be wild if a politician actually proposed that, or an entire Party embraced it?

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., called for a federal minimum wage of $20 per hour at an event in Detroit on Sunday night, prompting mockery from conservatives and threatening to force mainline Democrats in the 2020 presidential race to address the issue in upcoming debates.

So do we also adjust the wages of the skilled work force?

Would you accept a link to Bernie, Warren or Harris websites with their promises ?

I think we should throw our weight at Yang. He's not playing identity politics.
No restrictions either. Everyone gets $1K a month allowance.

I’d prefer it to be an Onion article for the sake of the country, as we need two viable parties. However, I must say I’m enjoying watching the Democrats commit suicide before our eyes. 1968 all over again!

Now, there's an idea! Wish I'd thought of it. Even better, how about we have the government pay us all?

Why? Im one of these 'skilled employees' ( our entry level cashiers are hired on at minimum wage $7.25 per hour!).


Just because they deserve a raise so they earn enough to live on and support themselves, why does that mean I suddenly deserve a raise too?!!! LOL Im not having any problems paying my bills or supporting myself.


Besides that, when it comes down to it, those entry level workers work MUCH harder than I do anyway, they have very strict rules about when they can take breaks, how long their lunches are, etc. I dont have any of those rules in my job, Im expected to complete my work by deadline, but other than that, I am supposed to manage my own time.

At this point "progressives" are being unserious and are just trying to get people riled up. Unfortunately for the Democratic party, this is seeping into their platform.
