Minimum wage is a topic that draws a lot of attention, especially in California, a state that has one of the highest minimum wages in the United States.
In a debate Monday night, Rep. Barbara Lee defended her previous advocacy for a $50 minimum wage.
“In the Bay Area, I believe it was the United Way that came out with a report that very recently $127,000 for a family of four is just barely enough to get by,” Lee said. “Another survey very recently: $104,000. For a family of one, barely enough to get by low income because of the affordability crisis.”

$50/hour?
Do it, California!
Why not a $1,000/per hour by their logic? Rush fortold this, and here it is.
Why stop at $50?
Go for $100!
Oh, come on, get serious.
If $50/hr is good, why not $100, or more?
Dems.
They have no idea where money comes from in a legitimate economy, and no concept of working for just rewards.
Dems.
Deceit is their middle name.
$50/hr? Piker! Make it $500/hr!
Everybody has the right to earn $1 billion/year.
i hate to egg California on.
But hell, go for it.
She’s better than Schiff and she’s serve one term-old age.
Then move to a state where you can live like a king on that income...
Give ALL a printing press, paper, ink, printing plates for $100 bills and free electricity...you pathetic leftist slacker losers!
Businesses can close at $50/hr just as easily as at $20.

Only 18% of individuals make over $100K now, in jobs that presumably support that much, and they want pretty much everyone to make that and much, much more. Lunch at McDonald’s will cost what dinner at a 5-star restaurant costs now. Inflation will rival that of Weimar Germany.
Geniuses. I guess it sounds good, though, to voters who share these candidates’ IQ level.
Exactly. And Big Mac will cost about $5,000 grand.
Boy. These people sure are smart.
All that edjumacation and fancy book learnin’ to come with stuff like this!
Number 1 cause of inflation is min wage laws.
Min wage should be O.
Cash by the wheelbarrow full!
The problem with leftists is they too often want what never was, and never will be.
They propped oepn the borders open 50 years ago and encouraged millions and millions of unskilled laborers to American shores. The average Democrat (today) is too ignorant to understand that supply and demand applies to people as well as anything else.
Minimum wage probably would be $35 or $40 an hour today, without any requirements, had they not polluted the worker rolls. I knew they had dropped the brown acid when the head of the AFL-CIO (Trumka) gave illegal migration his blessing.
Don’t be fooled, America. You’ve every right to be pissed off, just make sure the focus of your outrage is directed where it belongs. And the people to whom it belongs have spent all this time making damn sure you won’t connect the dots. In fact that’s about all they have time to do anymore, an indication they’re phony baloney parlor tricks are no longer effective.
It gets really frickin’ ugly once the rug gets pulled, when the music stops, and it won’t be too much longer by most accounts.
They don’t care, the rich are making out like bandits under Rat rule.
inflation is out of control because they printed gobs of cash while doubling the minimum wage.
now they want to triple that?
wheel barrels of cash to buy a loaf of bread.
yup... weimar republic here we come
