Why Not A $48.07 Minimum Wage?

  • Monday, February 22, 2021

If a $15 minimum wage is so great, why not just raise it to $48.07? That way based on a 40 hour work week, every worker would make $100,000 a year.

Can you imagine, no poverty, no people going hungry and everyone could pay for health insurance.

What a wonderful world it would be and the Democrats would be in charge forever.
