Senate Democrat Candidate Wants $50/hr Minimum Wage (Page 1/1) Doug85GT OCT 12, 12:03 PM Makes perfect sense. $25/hr is not enough so she wants to make it $50/hr minimum wage. Why stop there? Just make it $1,000/hr and then everyone can make enough money to live on for the entire year in just two weeks. If that does not work then $2,000/hr, $4,000/hr...etc. https://www.sacbee.com/opin...rticle280303494.html cliffw OCT 12, 07:01 PM quote Originally posted by Doug85GT: Makes perfect sense. Sarcasm noted. We also need to raise the national debt limit to more than we can spend now. A dollar was worth more before the minimum wage. Pretty soon, we will have a Weimar Republic like economy. When I started working the minimum wage was $3.25 an hour. My parents bought a brand new custom home for just under $30,000.
