Everyone knows they're underpaid, John. That's why I'm calling for a $20 per hour minimum wage. {{ FirstName | "friend" }} - For decades, the rich have gotten richer while those creating all that wealth, the workers, have gotten poorer. Between inflation, offshoring, and automation, workers in the United States are making less than ever. Bills haven’t gone down, however; they’ve gone up. Rent keeps soaring; food prices keep climbing; healthcare affordability is cruelly out of reach for most; and childcare costs are a burden. We’ve got a lot to do to make the price of living go down.
The "minimum" in "minimum wage" has to mean the minimum wage to live a dignified life -- not just to scrape by. It cannot just be the bottom floor of what businesses can get away with paying their workers.
I strongly support a $20/hr minimum wage because - and this should not be controversial to write - life should be good, and everybody needs a raise. In Solidarity,
