A pair of progressive Democrats unveiled a bill on Tuesday that would raise the federal minimum wage to $25 per hour, considered the bare minimum a single adult needs to meet the cost of living in much of the US.
The Living Wage For All Act is the first bill to be introduced by the newly sworn-in Rep. Analilia Mejía (D-NJ), who won a special election earlier this month after helping to lead the fight for a $15 minimum wage in her home state of New Jersey.
The bill is stupid. Taxes will have to be raised to pay for it.
Why do you say that?
Idiotism, I suspect
How would this $25/hr. be funded?
Same way the stock holders and EOs are funded, maybe? 😆
Stockholders can lose money depending on the success of the companies that the stocks are invested in. In contrast, a $25/hr. minimum wage is not based on success.
they could, i dunno, not spend hundreds of billions on excessive military. Just a thought.
How much is excessive? Defense company workers will lose jobs.
well, they’re almost at a trillion JUST on defence. I’d say that’s a little excessive.
Yes, but would the amount that’s cut be able to may pay for the $25/hr. wage? Wouldn’t it be better to use that money to fund other programs such as healthcare.
Sarcasm ?
Nope. He serious 😂
