    No one working full-time should live in poverty. No one can afford basic needs making $7.25/hour. This is long overdue. Let’s #RaiseTheWage.pic.twitter.com/RD7Qji9XQq

        Thank you Rep. Schakowsky for standing up for workers, just like you did last fall when you took arrest with #FightFor15 workers on strike for $15 and union rights!

        No one works a minimum wage job as a career. They are starter jobs or supplemental jobs. If someone does do a minimum wage job as a career then they have bigger problems than the pay they are earning.

        No one, regardless of employment status, should live in poverty. We are a wealthy nation and there is no excuse for anyone to lack necessities. A $15 minimum wage is a good start. A Guaranteed Minimum Income is a better goal.

        Now watch all the companies eliminate these jobs and hire robots. How about you try and better yourself by learning a skill?

        If the wage goes up the humans will be replaced at some point.

        When did minimum wage become synonymous to living wage?
