[I want the USA back]

Yeah. And why not 50? 100?

What she is really saying is for the government to take over all businesses and be the sole employer, and to pay people what the government thinks is right. Communism. It was tried and failed.

If we followed official inflation figures, the original 1938 minimum wage of $0.25 per hour would be $4.67 now. Was it possible to live and support a family on 25 cents per hour back then?

[BuffaloJack]

All you gotta do is wait. Minimum wage will get there.
My first job was in a plastics manufacturing factory. I got $1 per hour and the work was hot and dirty.
My second job was in the Navy and I got $78 per month.

[Senormechanico]

Imho, Nancy’s next generation replacement.

AOC: $15 Minimum Wage a ‘Deep, Deep Compromise,’ Should Be $24

—
an hour later, she(it) changed the minimum to $240 ...

[P-Marlowe]

With all the taxes, unemployment insurance, workers compensation insurance, accounting costs, etc., it costs an employer at least $24 an hour to pay someone $15 an hour.

[butlerweave]

AOC has a Super Business Brain , LOL

[VinnieCCT]

What is scary is the fact that she has a BA with majors in International Relations and Economics. If this is the mentality coming from our schools, we are doomed.

[null and void]

Instead of $15.00 why not $1,500, you stupid b!tch?

[Republican Wildcat]

AOC gets nuttier every day. A $50k per year “minimum” wage?

[CptnObvious]

Why not a minimum wage of a Trillion. That way nobody would have to work.

/Sarcasm OFF

[SaxxonWoods]

Because 16 year-olds on summer vacation need to make $24 an hour!

[Chode]

the cow has a degree in economics?

then her EC-101 teachers should all be fired...

[fhayek]

One of my objections to minimum wage increases (and I have a few), is that these smarmy politicians don’t have write the checks. They make OTHERS come up with the money, struggle to make payroll, shuffle their cost structures around while they, the politicians, go around patting themselves on the back.

[Kazan]

Why not $50 a hour? Or $100?

I know Democrat voters are stupid but it's still hard to believe someone this dumb got elected to the House?

Or is hyperinflation one of the goals of the left?

[Arones]

$24?

Why so greedy?

$1,000,000 / hr is appropriate.

AOC photo, mouth open (as usual)....
Caption:

AOC: And as Mr. Ed used to say, “Ohhhhhhh, Wilbur.”

[Mr. Jeeves]

AOC and other Democrats are primarily interested in raising the minimum wage to trigger automatic increases in union contracts, and a resultant increase in union dues flowing into Democratic Party coffers.

That said, their default caricature is that there is a vast sea of overqualified people trapped in minimum wage jobs by evil employers - when the reality is there is a vast sea of marginal workers who will quickly find out if such a plan is implemented that the real minimum wage is zero.

[cranked]

I 2x4 upside the head would not improve anything at all with this idiot, in fact, I would wager it would just scramble any remaining brain cells the idiot did have to the point of being non-existent....

[EinNYC]

Dumb da DUMB DUMB strikes again.
