actually I take that back, you will get something out of a $15 minimum wage, like increased prices for goods and services passed onto you by the rich looking out for their bottom line.

What a great victory for you friend, you deserve it you maroon.
no the way minimum wage works is capitalists may, not will, increase prices. quite often they dont which is why min wage is a good thing. the min wage workers spend all their money so their increased spending is good for hte economy.

I guess that depends if you count Dwight Eisenhower as a conservative. I don’t really see him as one, he was more of a moderate dude people could rally behind following WW2.
Ike was a mostly hands off guy who let the country run itself. Which amazingly enough worked.

$15 Minimum Wage = No
Rolling Back TCJA = No
Raising the SSA Tax for Hight Earners = No
Medicare for All = Hell No

Yeah, Biden’s a tool of the radical left for sure!

Didn’t some guy on this board predict all this?
What they want and what they get is two different animals. Give them a few more seats in Congress and watch what happens.

Federal minimum wage laws are unconstitutional. The federal government didn’t have that power enumerated to them. It’s more garbage from a Supreme Court bastardizing the commerce clause and ignoring the tenth amendment. It’s the same argument these scumbags used to cram down an unconstitutional drug war.

I don’t know anyone who works for minimum wage, most businesses here start out $10+ an hour. That is an actual wage increase brought on by demand for workers, something we would have more of if democrats weren’t focused on flooding the labor market with unskilled laborers from foreign countries. But that is what democrats have always done.

its an entry level wage for the those entering the job market . Those include the legal immigrants that come here. Many of them make a lot more because Trumps economy drove those wages up as jobs exceeded available workers.

Agreed. Min wage was never meant to be enough to raise a family on. It is entry level pay.

"Trump was already up to a million doses of vaccine a day."
Pure fiction. By 31 December, fewer than three million had received one dose of the vaccine.

bernie sanders is comparable to ike who supported the new deal.

"We have this phenomenon where someone is taking positions that would have been considered pretty mainstream during the Eisenhower years, that are supported by a large part, often a considerable majority, of the population, but he’s dismissed as radical and extremist," he said. "That’s an indication of how the spectrum has shifted to the right during the neoliberal period, so far to the right that the contemporary Democrats are pretty much what used to be called moderate Republicans, and the Republicans are just off the spectrum.

"His positions would not have surprised President Eisenhower, who said, in fact, that anyone who does not accept New Deal programs doesn’t belong in the American political system. That’s now considered very radical."
