        @WhiteHouse Why do you make up statistics to lie? It started in 30s and currently is higher than inflation would make it.

        Your 101 missed the historic roots of minimum wage: discrimination against black laborers . . . Why didn't you include that?

        Minimum wage is different than a "living wage" - minimum should be for entry level workers, not the long-term standard.

        @WhiteHouse we should stop making people pay to work by ending personal income taxes and put the tax burden back where it belongs.
