    It’s been 10 years since the last federal minimum wage increase. And decades of wage stagnation. Day in & day out, American min wage workers are doing their jobs, getting more & more productive and getting paid relatively less & less. Congress needs to do its job & #RaiseTheWage.

        Massachusetts was one of the first states to pass $15/hour minimum wage legislation. But it wasn’t until after a hard fight. We need to wage that campaign across the country until each and every American worker is paid what they have earned.

        Please explain the consequences of higher minimum wage increases? Higher unemployment of young black men? Is that the real Dem policy goal? #DemsFullOfUnintendedConsequences. #livingWageNonsense
