In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton refuses to support a $15 national minimum wage. [View all]Lancero
(3,003 posts)8. Ok then - Can you tell me what states shouldn't have a $15 minimum wage?
Her statements don't line up - She wants to pass herself off as Fight for 15's champion, when she doesn't actually support their goals to see all low wage workers receive a $15 minimum wage.
I have trouble seeing how she can consider herself the groups champion, when she doesn't support their goal.

I'll bet all the workers affected by this are going to give her an earful at her $2,700 a plate

To be real most Americans could never afford to drop $2700 on a political donation.

If the minimum wage had kept pace with productivity, it would be over $20 by now

On the other hand people who work at Panera couldn't even afford to eat there now.

Unsurprising. This kind of triangulating mumbo jumbo defines Hillary's approach to populist policy.

Hillary is entirely scripted. Unfortunately, many are willing to go along with the Democratic version of Mitt Romney.

this is BAD--it's something people can feel directly, even more than Glass-Steagall

Simple yes or no question - Do minimum wage workers deserve a $15 dollar minwage - A living wage?
