The current minimum wage is a poverty wage. Raising the minimum wage to $15/hr is one of our top priorities for the pandemic rescue package. Let's get this done!

It’s long past time we raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. The American Rescue Plan will get it done.

$15 isn't enough in many parts of the country. Tie minimum wage to the highest earning member of a company - raw numbers aren't the issue here, it's the GAP between rich and poor.

Raise it to $15 now! NOT LATER! EVERY YEAR IT MUST GO UP WITH THE COST OF LIVING! It takes a lot more than $15 an hour to survive!!!!! I made $19.26 in 1988, that would be $43 an hour now! 70% on the rich!Take back taxes RETROACTIVELY,FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS! That will cover it!

$15 still isn't ENOUGH! We need a Fair Wage for Value Created law instead.

I'm hearing chatter that the minimum wage change can't be done through reconciliation. Please do not accept this baloney. Thank you!
