Sen. Cory Booker built himself a reputation as a pretty easygoing, fun-loving guy. But as it turns out, there’s something that really sticks in his craw: hard work.
Not right: A min. wage-earning single parent of two must work 50 hrs/week to escape poverty. http://t.co/QafnNscfql

Yeah? And?
Cory Booker's position is easy if you understand Democrats want a living wage regardless of employment status.

Bingo.
wait, it's too much to ask someone to work 50 hours a week?!?!!
Have you ever had a fucking real job? @CoryBooker

@AceofSpadesHQ @CoryBooker When I was on minimum wage I couldn't help but WANT to work 50 hours a week.

I'd bet ~90% of people who employ minimum wage workers work more than 50 hours a week. https://t.co/G7bh8zLWWN

@AceofSpadesHQ @CoryBooker you know what – most dudes in tech and start-ups accept 80+ hours a week, cause they want to succeed…

Work ethics are, like, sooooo overrated.

@CoryBooker Because, of course, no one should have to work their way out of poverty. They might get too self-reliant.

If you want to get out of poverty, you have to work hard? REALLY!?!?!? Mind. Blown. https://t.co/0TYooo5y10
