Every executive in America should be required to cut their own pay to the pay they were getting when the minimum wage was last increased.

We've been talking for so long about raising the minimum wage to $15/hr that $15/hr isn't even a livable wage anymore.

Everyone who opposes a living wage for the people who actually make this country run, should be forced to live on minimum wage.

From 1977, when I graduated high school, until 2009, 14 years, the minimum wage increased by 275% — $2.65 to $7.25.

From 2009 to now, 16 years - Zero. No increase.

I’m 65. That was my whole working life. I don’t know how we can face young people with stats like that.
