Pay Workers A Living Wage Act [View all] LWolf Jul 2015 OP

If the candidates want $15 a hour... Agschmid Jul 2015 #1

I agree, there is no excuse. n/t seaglass Jul 2015 #3

Only one of the candidates LWolf Jul 2015 #4

Except he isn't paying his own campaign workers $15/hr. stevenleser Jul 2015 #6

I'm sure you realize LWolf Jul 2015 #9

None of that will matter. The short soundbite is that he says workers should be paid $15 an hour stevenleser Jul 2015 #10

I can see the RNC attack ads already... JaneyVee Jul 2015 #12

Something very close to that. It's not hard to predict what the GOP will do most of the time. stevenleser Jul 2015 #14

So we let short soundbites rule, or LWolf Jul 2015 #16

Of course, you fight it like hell. But we know from 40+ years of experience what the outcome of that stevenleser Jul 2015 #18

I'm thinking that LWolf Jul 2015 #20

So fight like hell... Agschmid Jul 2015 #21

1) Bernie has introduced a bill to raise minimum wage to $15 by 2020, raising gradual over the years Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #22

Those are 2 short, simple soundbites LWolf Jul 2015 #24

What will this soundbite be? cyberswede Jul 2015 #23

Not nearly as devastating as the hypocrisy of Bernie not paying his staff $15/hr. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #25

Because paying people $0 is better than a paying people couple bucks over the current minimum wage? cyberswede Jul 2015 #27

A lot of companies are ahead of his plan too... Agschmid Jul 2015 #11

I can speculate. LWolf Jul 2015 #13

Apparently they are all paying what the market will bear... Agschmid Jul 2015 #15

Any of his workers at $10.10 could get entry level jobs at Costco... Agschmid Jul 2015 #7

He's the only one in congress at the moment BainsBane Jul 2015 #26

O'Malley is a governor. LWolf Jul 2015 #29

Bingo. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #8

Should any candidates use unpaid volunteer help? n/t PoliticAverse Jul 2015 #28

All candidates do. Agschmid Jul 2015 #36

KNR! But maybe stop using debunked rightwing memes... JaneyVee Jul 2015 #2

Thanks for the link. nt LWolf Jul 2015 #5

You're welcome, but... JaneyVee Jul 2015 #17

That talking point LWolf Jul 2015 #19

Thank you unapatriciated Jul 2015 #30

No one is mentioning this, but that approach to minimum wage is wrong. Adrahil Jul 2015 #31

In it's current form, LWolf Jul 2015 #32

Glad to hear the current proposed act has automatic increases... my mistake. Adrahil Jul 2015 #33
