    The federal minimum wage, $7.25 per hour, is pathetically low. Full stop. No person can survive on an income of less than $15,000. I urge my colleagues in Congress to #RaiseTheWage!

        1) Dwight, in 2000 I moved from the Philly area to Appalachia. While trying to recover losing everything twice in a year, once to foreclosure (an early housing crisis victim), then, family crisis led me to be “accepted” (yet, not accepted) at a domestic violence shelter.

        2.) In just a few years I went from a $14.00 an hour homeowner to homeless to $8.00 an hour FT to nothing (had my car stolen by cops in WV), to $5.15 an hour, 18 hours a week, 400 miles from home. The shelter told me I was not allowed to go to school to better myself.

        Many of the works making $7.25/hr are working 2 jobs. At same rate. Many 40 hrs at both and 16 hrs on weekend. Exhausted & not seeing family

        What about disabled Americans who cannot work? Most live in poverty.

        If you want to kill teenage employment, where you learn about work ethic and time management, lets be sure to raise the minimum wage. The long term effect be damned.

        Unqualified statement without any evidence. Simply not true. There is zero evidence that raising minimum wage will destroy teenage employment.

        He is entitled to his “opinion”. He has no evidence. He has no model. He has no original study. He has no published research results.

        And ... he hasn’t had a peer reviewed article since 1993 which was 25 years ago. He’s basically teaching one freshman course a semester now until he retires. Hardly a credible source. Next?

        For many working minimum wage the only way to survive is to supplement by stealing , selling drugs and other illegal activities
