Dems counter argument to the tax bill: Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
After the huge tax giveaways to corporations and the 1%, the best Democratic economic counter argument should be: Raise the min. wage to $15.00 an hour. There's no excuse for not doing so. None.
1.) Raising the min. wage is long over due and is desperately needed.
2.) It's good economic policy because it forces money to circulate from hoarding corporations to the consumers who will put it to use.
3.) It's good politics because it gives the voters something tangible to vote for which they can see in their wallets right away.
4.) Puts the Republicans in an ugly spot. They would have to defend tax cuts for the rich while denying more money for workers.

But Dems won 65 million votes with that as part of their platform, so it should be something we use moving forward.
