WRONG.

Many if not most are in their 20s, 30s or older WITH KIDS. They work full time, sometimes 2-3 jobs - trying to make ends meet. And many still end up needing public assistance ie: food stamps. And many/most food stamp recipients are WHITE and NOT kids or teens.

So what this jackass has built her cruel bill on is a FALSE PREMISE.

And I assure you she KNOWS it. She just doesn't care.

What these Republicans would ADORE is a return to slavery. That's IMO what they're advocating when they advocate for abolishment of the min. wage.
