Rep. Rashida Tlaib said the federal minimum wage should be raised to $20 an hour.
"Big fights like this one, $15. When we started it, it should have been $15," the Michigan Democrat said in a video posted by America Rising on Monday. "Now I think it should be $20 ... It should be $20 an hour. $18-20 an hour."
Tlaib said the higher minimum was because the cost of "a lot of things" has gone up.

Obviously Rashida has 0 comprehension of economics. Perhaps she is not capable of critical thinking.
ReplyDeleteThe largest part of the mark up from the initial pay comes from all of the government mandatory cost I have #1 income taxes #2 license and permits #3 insurances multiple types required most overlapping. That alone will make a $20 minimum wage cost $40hr. before the company makes a profit and just to be clear that's only 3 reasons all companies have much more overhead than the TOP 3
DeleteShe's probably schooled by advisors well-versed in the concept of cause and effect, who know that a jump in minimum wage will weaken the fabric, not strengthen it.
ReplyDeleteShe's a complete idiot--why the press gives her 1 second of airtime is unbelievable--
ReplyDeleteWhy not make minimum wage $100.00 per hour--the sky's the limit.. Communism is what she wants--truthfully--complete gov. control and jail time for anyone who is not a believer-
It's simple economics, raise minimum wages and
ReplyDeletethe cost of Everything goes up to compensate!
One can only hope that her constituents see her as the complete waste of their votes that she is. She falls into the "What have we done?" category.
ReplyDeleteMinimum wage should not be a thing. If people were paid what they're worth, most couldn't live on that and would learn quickly how to bear down and pull their own weight and then some.
ReplyDeleteThis is part of the Muslim plan COLLAPSE the system look at Englishstan.
ReplyDeleteThis is what pandering looks like.

Why not 100 dollars an hour, since we’re just picking numbers out of the blue?
ReplyDeleteCome on Dems. Open up your hearts. Don't they deserve at the very least $100.00/hour. After all there is an image here.
ReplyDeleteThe socialist commie SQUAD.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much she is paying her employees ? Like HYPOCRITE bernie.
ReplyDeleteThe "cost of a lot of things"...is that similar vernacular to some people did some things to other people (refer to the other idiot talking about 9/11)
ReplyDeleteWhere she comes from, that is probably a month's salary.
ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: 10:29, her constituents are even dumber than her, that is how she got into office in the first place. All or at least most of us who post here are reasonably intelligent and we all have a tendency to view others as reflections of ourselves. Unfortunately, that is not the case for a lot of reasons. Take for example, politicians and relationships with other countries. Different values, different morals, different attitudes regarding human rights. You will not find people in Asia or Africa, for example, that think like you do and have the same feelings as you do. People are different and the differences in races are profound. Not many want to admit that, but, prove to me that it is not true.
ReplyDeleteShe would be overpaid at $20 / hour.
