Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) responded Tuesday to criticism from Ivanka Trump by suggesting Trump's daughter learned about working "for tips & hourly wages ... 2nd-hand."
"As a person who actually worked for tips & hourly wages in my life, instead of having to learn about it 2nd-hand, I can tell you that most people want to be paid enough to live," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, with a link to reports of Ivanka Trump slamming Ocasio-Cortez earlier in the day.
"A living wage isn’t a gift, it’s a right. Workers are often paid far less than the value they create," she continued.

Minimum wagged in CA. is on the $15.00 an hour climb right now!! This stupid woman screaming for a living wage evidently has NO IDEA how much the cost of goods has increased in our grocery stores ect. The one and ONLY purpose for this wage increase is MORE payroll taxes!!! The workers are paying so much more for necessities the new wage doesn’t change ONE THING for them, but it is sure lining the pockets of Fed and state governments!! People are SO STUPID it is no wonder this country is in the mess it is in!!!
wagged= wages WTH???
The previous First Lady never held an hourly job. Won’t hear that one though..
