It’s been almost 10 years and the federal minimum wage is still $7.25/hour. That’s $15,000 a year in this country—not nearly enough to keep a roof over your head. We have to speak truth: This system isn’t working for working people. That’s why I’m fighting for a $15 minimum wage.

The responses are frightening. MW is NOT just fast food. It’s 1000’s of jobs in 1000’s of fields. It was put in place because w/o it, employers would exploit workers, just like now. If still on the gold std., MW would be around $25. Wake up.
