    Most #MinWage earners are adults. Many help support a family. If we #RaiseTheWage, the $ goes back into the economy.pic.twitter.com/5WdfANOJX1

        @USDOL False. Businesses will fire workers to keep expenses the same as they were. Your misunderstanding of finance is comical or worrisome

        @USDOL @InSouthFlorida Higher minimum wage = higher costs of goods for ALL consumers. Typical socialist agenda for wealth redistribution

        @USDOL why not just make the minimum wage 30.00 an hour so everyone can have a wonderful standard of living, or why stop there.
