Not sure taxing them is going to get the point across as well as a good ole fashioned guillotine.

And what are WE going to do about that?

How many centuries will it take to reach that at $7.25?

Minimum wage was $3.85 when I started working in 1990. Let that sit for a minute

Ask Rand Paul... Ask him about the 7 trillion Donald added to the debt.

We have been fighting for a 15 dollar minimum so long that that isn’t even enough to live on in most cities now.

I remember 2.00 per hour and 5.25 per hour. 7.25 was after I graduated college. Then I made 9.25 per hr as an RN in Texas. 1988.

A new 1976 Monte Carlo was 5000 dollars. Think about that for a minute. I made 2 bucks an hour. How long would it take for me to buy one if I had to pay rent, buy food, living alone?

I always wanted one of those but not at a per hour job!

My minimum wage in 1976 was 2 dollars an hour.
