What I find the funniest is people that want a $15 minimum wage even think that is a decent living wage. It's not even close. This is where I differ with my man Bernie.
Who in the hell is supposed to support a family on $15 an hour? That's $28,800 a year before taxes. NO ONE can live a decent life on that.
They should be pushing for a minimum wage of at least $30 an hour. That is about $57,600. Still not squat for trying to support a family but if man and wife are both working then can scratch out a living on $114K combined.
Biden should start by making all government jobs pay at least $30 an hour. Time to get it done.
I'm scared that you're not joking. So if you start eveyone at $30/hour; then the skilled people currently getting $30 will need bumped to $50/hour, the managers currently at $50 will go to $70. Everyones wages go up. You're thinking that's awesome I'll bet. Guess what happens then? Price of everything goes up, and the people who got bumped to $30 won't be able to afford any more than they currently can.
