@200y650 @susienewmac @SenSanders@kate_littleton Depends on family size. At $12 and a family of 4 yes its poverty. Google says 12% of our country lives in poverty. The other 28% are just above it. You got me.
@sconlee6 @VMICoastie @AP It's not a coincidence that the one year Republicans lose the mail in vote they now need ID other restrictions on early voting and drop boxes. They don't want ID for same day in person voting.
@TFallguy@Reuters Then business shouldn't accept government tax breaks or subsidies. As well as pay their employees enough that the government doesn't need to subsidize families. Can't have it both ways.
@sconlee6 @VMICoastie @AP Maybe we should propose 1 polling place per 50000 people and see how Republicans like it. Should give the bigger cities several polling places and the rural counties might get 1 per county, maybe. Let the Republicans drive 45 minutes to an hour then stand in line for 4 hours.
@200y650 @susienewmac @SenSanders@kate_littleton Even if he does get a higher paying that still leaves 40% of the country in poverty. I guess I have higher hopes for our country.
@Data_Jack @MikeJKernahan @SenSanders If they just settled for $20 million that's an extra $7.3 billion extra to pay their workers. Which would save the federal government $6.2 billion in subsidies us tax payers give to walmart workers
@ManOfKent17@SenSanders@N5_1BU Since 40% of jobs pay $12 or less your logic dictates only 60% of our country is successful. Doesn't speak well for our country.
@SenSanders Seems to me we have a choice. Either find a way to raise wages or use our tax dollars to support workers living in poverty. Keep in mind 40% of jobs pay $12 or less
