And all that money is >taken< from taxpayers to fund the government including her salary and pension for life.
Is is so obvious that anything supported by these two economic morons is a bad idea.
Excellent! More Human lay-offs and Robot hires! It’s a Win/Win!
*SMIRK*
Members of the Socialist Democrat Party are certifiably insane.
20 hours a week at 7.50. That’s 150 bucks a week.
Good enough for getting through the school week and having some money for the weekend. Maybe even save a few bucks.
Cause that’s what those jobs are for!!!
Fast food restaurant CONSTANTLY have sales now that are a third of the original price and lower than 10 years ago.
Tat means they’re not making a fortune.
Didn’t anybody tell them they lost the election last November?...................
No. They need to get rid of federal workers, not pay them more.
“I’m so proud of the strong steps taken in our state to make sure that full-time work doesn’t leave people in our communities living in poverty,” Senator Murray said.”
once Obama care goes There will be a lot more people with FULL TIME jobs. Un till then this will not help anything.
JMHO
Did Senators Murray and Sanders explain why they want to make low income jobs harder to come by? Perhaps Senators Murray and Sanders can just cut to the chase and tell us why they hate poor people so much.
Also, how about Bernie give us this thoughts on the Venezuelan social paradise? How much more suffering at the hand of Government is needed before the utopia fully sets in? Wonder what level of starvation do his supporters feel we too should have here in America to earn our very own slice of paradise?
If they are “low wage workers” how were they able to get time off, travel to D.C. and pay for hotels and meals?
DOA
Problem is, when Patty speaks, stupidity often spills out. Why not make it $50/hr, Patty? It’s such a great idea, why stop at $15/hr???
The Constitution does NOT give the feds ANY authority AT ALL to meddle in wages (or prices).
And oh, BTW, in case the Constitution doesn't matter to anyone anymore, wage (and price) controls are the stupidest thing to come along since prohibition. Minimum wage KILLS PRODUCTIVITY, KILLS ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND THE ECONOMY, and KILLS JOBS.
Why not $30 or $40 per hour, Patty? That would really help working people.
An E-1 with less than two hrs service makes $19,200.
No way the two are comparable. And the E-1 has far more responsibility and their life on the line.
federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and we will have no jobs.
It will be the big “Domino” effect those that were at $15 an hour will want and get $30 an hour and on and on.
All costs will go up, a $5 hamburger will be $10, gas will go up...
You will move up into a higher income tax bracket and pay more tax’s
Oh, ok.....
Remove the Payroll Tax, both the Employee and Employer share for the working poor.
At the same time cut eligibility for SSI and welfare programs. Cut the amount of money for some of those who remain on programs.
This is a pragmatic, realistic approach that can put the Democrats on the spot and create a beneficial image for us. If done right, it will be revenue neutral. Isn’t that the establishment test?
Currently working poor often take home less than ablebodied people on welfare/SSI. We penalize people who work and reward people who fake a disability. That injustice must be corrected.
Seal the borders, slow down immigration to a crawl and you got a good idea. FY 2024 seems like a good goal. Whether you are for the minimum wage or against the arguments presented are compelling. This would take the politics out of the equation.
Typical Democrats.
