As you know, Sen. Bernie Sanders has been at the forefront of the “Fight for $15” movement for quite a while:
Here is the truth:
$7.25 an hour is not enough to live on.
Workers deserve a living wage of at least $15 an hour.
Women must have equal pay for equal work.
CEOs should not be making 300x what their workers do.

How can other Democrat candidates compete with that? Tom Steyer showed ’em how it’s done:

Which will put small companies out of business. Is this his way of supporting corporations?

Looking forward to the $40 chicken burger at Red Robin with kiosks to order and machines to slap it together and no more bottomless fries or broccoli. Thanks Tom! https://t.co/3hKVNnBSPg

Annnnnd do I hear 23? 23! Do I hear 23! Yes, 23 by the scowling lady.
Do I hear 24, 24? Come on, give me a 24! Yes, the self-absorbed man said 24.
What about 25? Here, here, here, I need a 25!#MinimumWage https://t.co/MGX5rmmjWV

At the debate Friday night, Steyer said that if the Democrats take down Trump it’ll have to be on the economy. Apparently he’d also be happy to take the economy down with him.
