Draft DNC platform includes $15 min wage, free state college

[JoogJoint]

You guys would be surprised at the rent and bills and expenses people have to pay for in most parts of the country that require $15 or more in hour. NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, etc. aren't the only expensive places in this country. Expenses are high as f_ck everywhere.

Queen Hillary knows it wont pass..and if it looked like it was about to she would torpedo it herself by adding unacceptable amendments for the house to strike down

this is a just bait for gullible bernie voters not to leave for the greens or libertarians

Devil's advocate but do you think people will ask for less hours to keep their benefits?

of course they will

 

[StatUS]

of course they will

So the GOP will attempt to block it by saying that these welfare queens will be making more than you and sucking off the tit of big government while killing your small business.

Meanwhile, the Dems will push for this while allowing corporations to continue to send jobs overseas for much less while allowing the banks to continue to gamble with peoples money.

I'm in for the future fukkery

I don't even have an issue with $15 minimum wage, I have an issue with it being a federal requirement

$15 is absolutely necessary in a place like San Fran, NYC, LA, but in Lincoln, Nebraska? Boise,Idaho? Louisville, KY? etc, Hell no

Exactly

If you don't support a living wage, I hope you have no problem with someone running up on you and putting the gat to your back so they can eat

lol @ dudes being mad at the wrong people in here

15 an hour is 31k a year. pretty much the bare minimum to not require government assistance and live on your own
