    Americans with full-time jobs still struggle to make ends meet. Let’s renew our resolve to pass a $15 minimum wage – because Americans deserve a wage they can live on. It’s this simple: Anyone who works full-time should be able to provide for their families. #LaborDay

        Yep, I am also a professional working 2 jobs. 40-hrs a week just doesn’t pay the bills anymore.

        President Trumps America First policies are helping black and hispanic communities. More citizens are going back to work, record unemployment and more people off food stamps. This is another promise made and promise kept! Perfect day to celebrate this! #LaborDay @KamVTV

        I could pay my pt employees $15 an hour, but I have a feeling my ft employees wouldn’t be so happy to take a pay cut to make up the difference.

        Another failed liberal idea. This was tried in Seattle. Studies showed that by forcing companies to over pay workers 15 an hr caused the worker to take less home each month. The emoloyers just dropped their hours to make up for the communist law forced upon them.

        That won't help as prices will go up to cover the increase in cost.

        It does help. There is precedent. Why do you have a problem with a living wage for working people? That is pretty sad.

        If you're hiring people and can't afford to pay them a living wage, you're bad at running a business. Every worker deserves a living wage. Period.

        Minimum wage did not keep with inflation. I had a 2 bedroom apartment while in college, making minimum wage ($4.35 hr/$275 mo.). Minimum wage is now $7.25 and that same apartment is $900 mo.

        Let’s spread the wealth like you want to. All of Congress/government should only get $15 an hour in wages. No expense accounts either. No kick backs from lobbyists. Just reducing your pay and those of your coworkers will save the United States taxpayers millions
