It’s not “moderate”.

$7.25 hr is really shitty.

$11 hr is less shitty.

People making $174,000 a year wringing their hands over a single parent working hard over 2,000 hours a year to earn $31,000 to live is astonishingly shitty + utterly out of touch.
Senate Democratic moderates push for minimum wage compromise
A Tuesday meeting on the topic is set to include the eight Democratic caucus members who opposed Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) $15 hourly wage plan.

There is no “moderate” math.

Math is math.

Those who say there is, should work and live on it to demonstrate to the rest of us exactly how it’s done.

My promise to you: if I am lucky enough to be your next US Senator, Math will always be Math.

I will never, ever ever tell you or the 24M low wage workers that you are undeserving of a life of basic economic dignity while I earn $174,000 a year.
