Bernie is for $15...Clinton is not. That is the question Armstead Mar 2016 #30
Why not $16/hr? JaneyVee Mar 2016 #33
You're deflecting again Armstead Mar 2016 #37

Answer me this: Why is a $15/hour wage in 2012 not a $16/hour wage in 2016? Kip Humphrey Mar 2016 #3

That represents the time-honored "Meet the GOP at 75% to start negotiating" strategy Armstead Mar 2016 #34
Unless she's CERTAIN the GOP won't go for more than $12. randome Mar 2016 #48
I'm certain, given their druthers, most GOP politicians prefer to repeal it altogether Armstead Mar 2016 #55
