We asked our followers whether a federal minimum wage increase to $15 an hour would work. I disagreed from the start and I disagree now. We need a fair wage, yes, but situations throughout the country are different. A minimum of $15 an hour is too much.

Yes! In a system that believes no full-time worker should be earning less than it takes to live, minimum wage would be tied to the cost of living!

@NDpendenpa­rty

Yes. If corporate America would trim what they greedily take, it would not affect the pricing of goods or services. They’re gluttons.

Would you rather have a $10 an hour job or be out of a $15 hour job? Your choice.

@beecherjee­per

No, it will not work. Living in San Francisco costs much more than, say, any small town in America.
