The federal minimum wage is still set at $7.25. Obama tried to raise it to $9 to no avail. KPN Feb 2021 #8

Minimum wage is not a battle Congress should have to fight. Mr.Bill Feb 2021 #22

The problem is the southern States which were used by corporations as a means to bust KPN Feb 2021 #25

I agree with you, Mr.Bill Feb 2021 #29

Ergo, something other than one-size-fits-all that reflects the reality of a KPN Feb 2021 #33

Yes. California and other states have already done this. Mr.Bill Feb 2021 #47

It is not just Southern states. Ohio has a very low minimum wage. Demsrule86 Feb 2021 #40

Definitely, I don't disagree with anyone on that, I am happy we don't have to deal with Moscow Mitch Escurumbele Feb 2021 #54

And in order to hold a majority that is going to have to happen. That is our reality until we can Demsrule86 Feb 2021 #60
