With just 3 Republican votes the House passes $15 an hour minimum wage bill.

Long overdue...

With Support of Just 3 Republicans, House Democrats Pass 'Historic' Raise the Wage Act to Guarantee Workers $15 Minimum Wage

Progressives in Congress were joined by workers, business owners, and labor rights advocates in celebrating the "historic" passage on Thursday of the Raise the Wage Act, aimed at guaranteeing all American workers a minimum wage of $15.

Two hundred thirty House Democrats were joined by only three Republicans—Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Will Hurd of Texas, and Christopher H. Smith of New Jersey—in supporting the Raise the Wage Act (RTWA), which would raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025 and end the use of sub-minimum wages for tipped workers.

With Support of Just 3 Republicans, House Democrats Pass 'Historic' Raise the Wage Act to Guarantee Workers $15 Minimum Wage

An artificial minimum wage is a stupid idea.

A national minimum wage in a country with more than 3000 counties all with different cost of living is a historically stupid idea.


I think they should have a minimum wage of a buck an hour in red states so they can put their lack of buck where the hungry mouths are.

And in Blue states pay $15 an hour like they're doing already since they produce the jobs and economic activity.


No problem the wages would be the same you economic illiterate

0ZExYc0EtaZV5H9s6.jpg


and it was true, why do you think there is no longer a textile industry in the USA? Answer: the textile workers union.
NAFTA.

Once our government in cohoots with business owners/CEO's opened the escape hatch for our companies to go full speed ahead with seeking out global workforces in communist or any other countries that were willing to provide slave labor for a fee, is when the end of American exceptionalism began, and the clock began to tick away our sovereignty, our individualism, our freedom's, our strength, our middle class, our work forces, and our job's.

We see the results of it all years later, and we see the huge effort to cover it all up now.

Then Trump came along with his make America great again mantra, and his talk about all the factories that have been idled here, and how they have since become a huge eye sore to all American's, and how it is proof of a failed greed ridden marketing strategy.... It also serves as an example or proof to the negative fall out we've experienced here in result of it all.

With one of the lowest cost of living in the country?
That may be, but if I were to move there, I would still have obligations to meet. That means I need a certain level of income.
 
you do know if they raise min wage that people will lose jobs and prices will go up .. THINK !
Is that what your great grandpa said 80 years ago ?
0ZExYc0EtaZV5H9s6.jpg


and it was true, why do you think there is no longer a textile industry in the USA? Answer: the textile workers union.
NAFTA.

Once our government in cohoots with business owners/CEO's opened the escape hatch for our companies to go full speed ahead with seeking out global workforces in communist or any other countries that were willing to provide slave labor for a fee, is when the end of American exceptionalism began, and the clock began to tick away our sovereignty, our individualism, our freedom's, our strength, our middle class, our work forces, and our job's.

We see the results of it all years later, and we see the huge effort to cover it all up now.

Then Trump came along with his make America great again mantra, and his talk about all the factories that have been idled here, and how they have since become a huge eye sore to all American's, and how it is proof of a failed greed ridden marketing strategy.... It also serves as an example or proof to the negative fall out we've experienced here in result of it all.

Which party pushed outsourcing?
I found this on the issue. Discuss !!!

The White House is only telling you half of the sad story of what happened to American jobs
 
will the $15/hour apply to illegal aliens picking oranges? Think about that for a minute before answering.
Yes
They have been exploited for generations


and exactly what impact will that have on working class american citizens who would have those jobs if not for the illegals? Exploited???? if so, why do they keep coming?

why do you want our country to ignore our immigration laws? no other country in the world does that.

bottom line: both parties were responsible and Trump has begun to reverse their errors.

Bottom line is that republic pols in the 80s and 90s pushed outsourcing.


Trump has done very little to alter global economic trade. He has slapped tariffs on imports to make Americans pay more.
 
Greedy democrats. Why didnt they raise it to 500.00 an hour?
 
bottom line: both parties were responsible and Trump has begun to reverse their errors.

Very true. And both parties are fighting him. Americans elected Republicans to the Presidency and gave them control of the Congress time and time again since 1980. And still we found our country pulled ever leftward towards socialism and third worldism.
It was so time for Trump.

I don’t see many American workers lining up to harvest crops, make beds and wash dishes

Don't see your kids or grandkids working anytime in the future eh ??? Well maybe you can purchase a few Mexicans to do the work for them how about that ??

Boy, the urges to go backwards are just insatiable these days aren't they ??
 
I wonder how Bernie Sanders will vote if this makes it to the senate?
