She’s running.
The evidence is clear: raising the minimum wage is the right thing to do for America’s working families. That’s why I am fighting to raise the wage to $15 an hour across the country.

Kamala.
The evidence is clear that removing a law that allows employers to legally pay their employees a ‘minimum wage’ is what holds them back because employers don’t have to compete for their employees. Only when corporations start competing via wages for the best employees will working families in America really see a difference in their pockets.
But she’s a Democrat, and their answer is always more laws and more government so she’ll ignore the real evidence and pander to those trapped in cyclical poverty and dependence.
You say the evidence suggests it’s the right thing to do but you don’t provide any evidence. Minimum wage laws increase unemployment and disproportionately hurt minorities (T. Sowell). It seems to me that you’re vapidly virtue signaling.

She does indeed virtue signal.
Do you have any clue how asinine this sounds?
Different areas of the country have different costs of living. $15 an hour in Omaha or Boise or Little Rock isn't the same as $15 an hour in New York or San Francisco.
It is economic illiteracy to push for a national minimum wage.

She’s a Democrat so she has no idea how asinine this sounds.
If you don’t support a $500/hr minimum wage you hate the poor.

Ha!
Always certain. Always wrong.

At least she’s consistent.
You really have no idea how the economy works, at all.

Most politicians don’t.
The only evidence shows that raising min wage causes businesses to hire fewer workers, to put workers on parttime, or to close altogether as they can no longer afford wages. Automation is cheaper and more efficient. Teenage unemployment has skyrocketed as adults take entry jobs.
