Economics should be mandatory in school

how do we elect people who either do not understand economics or are so corrupt that they just want to manipulate people who do not understand economics.

Taxes are so high in California and tax revues are spent so poorly that Rep. Barbara Lee is now trying to make employers pay for the fiscal failures of CA politicians. $50 minimum wage? 😂 If you think the exodus from Cali was already bad, just wait till you see how 2024 goes.

At $50 an hour, say goodbye to mom-and-pop shops and hello to automated kiosks. Someone needs to tell the Senate candidate that when wages artificially skyrocket, so do prices. This "solution" sounds like it was cooked up in a lab with no understanding of economics.

The federal minimum wage hasn’t been raised since the George W Bush Administration. The current federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour is a poverty wage and unacceptable. It’s time we raise it to $17 an hour.

Rep. Barbara Lee is running for US Senate in California. She is proposing a $50 per hour minimum wage by the federal government. This would lead to no workers facing poverty. It could lead to many poor people improving their living conditions. That’s if small businesses could actually afford it. A $50 minimum wage would likely exacerbate inflation. It would put many businesses out of business. It would create a huge spike in unemployment. It would also make more businesses move in the direction of automation.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders has just introduced legislation to raise the $7.25 federal minimum wage to a living wage of at least $17 an hour. Who agrees with this?

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.24/hour since 2009. Senator Chris Murphy 🟧 just introduced a bill to raise it to $25/hour. This is how we actually tackle the affordability crisis. How high do you think the minimum wage should be?

Illinois was the first in the Midwest to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour. For 1.4 million workers, it was their first raise in nearly a decade. I promised as a candidate to build an economy that works for everyone — and that's been a priority of my administration.

A lot has changed in 16 years — but Pennsylvania’s minimum wage still hasn’t. It’s time to move on and raise the wage.

Let’s be very clear: If you are a worker in America making $7.25, $10, or $12 bucks an hour, Republicans will make NO effort to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. ZERO.

For decades, the NRA has lobbied against raising the minimum wage, against paid sick leave, and against raising the tipped minimum wage for servers and bartenders. The federal minimum wage has gone up once since 1996, to $7.25 per hour.

I tried to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr. Not ONE Republican supported it. A $7.25/hr minimum wage is an absolute disgrace. Americans should not be forced to work for starvation wages. We must raise the wage to at least $17/hr.

Our minimum wage in Pennsylvania has been stuck at $7.25/hour for the last 16 years. In that time, every single one of our neighboring states has raised the wage. Our minimum wage is too damn low, it's holding our economy back – and I'm going to keep fighting to raise it here in Pennsylvania.
