U.S : our nation’s minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is shitty !

 

 

 

I dedicate this message to every U.S. Senator who makes $174,000 a year and refused to vote to raise our national minimum wage of $7.25 an hour so workers might live with some dignity.               Friend,         You don’t need an MBA to understand this : a minimum wage of $7.25 is great for giant corporations, but devastating for the millions of Americans trapped in poverty while working for less than $15 an hour.   I will truly never understand how Republicans in the Senate, let alone some Democrats, can be OK with single mothers working for starvation wages. Living in dignity isn’t political, and it’s long past time we raise the national minimum wage to *at least* $15 an hour.   And make no mistake. Every penny a business pays below a minimum living wage is a penny YOU AS TAXPAYERS cough up for things like food, shelter, health care, child care.   In other words...   If you agree with me that our nation’s minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is shitty, friend, then please add your name to my petition : Democrats must urgently increase our national minimum wage to *at least* $15 an hour.       Add your name alongside mine if you agree that Democrats should start acting + voting like Democrats and finally raise the national minimum wage and lift millions of workers and their families out of poverty.           Add your name →           In solidarity,       John John Fetterman Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania.           P.S. When it comes to our nation's economy, I think it's pretty clear : We don't have a labor shortage, we have a shitty wage surplus. If you're with me, please add your name to mine if you agree that we must urgently increase our national minimum wage to *at least* $15 an hour.                FETTERMAN FOR PA. DOES NOT EQUAL ENDORSEMENT.
