I believe investing in our community and our youth are the keys to reducing violence in our city and county. Instead of cutting programs and services, we should be investing in our community. youtu.be/kx2ylb1JXDA

Billionaires have added $1,300,000,000,000 to their wealth during the course of the pandemic while the $7.25 minimum wage hasn't budged in over a decade. Tax the rich. Raise the wage. Now.

When I graduated college in 1968, the typical corporate CEO got 20 times the pay of the average worker. When I became labor secretary in 1993, the ratio was 61-to-1. Today, the ratio is 320-to-1. Capitalism is off the rails.

Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour would benefit 32 million workers and would give low-wage workers an extra $3,300 a year. I'll say that again. Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would benefit 32 MILLION workers. Let's get it done.

We must have the guts to stand up to special interests, and fight for the working class of this country.

Today, I asked the CEOs of Walmart and McDonald's a simple question: Why should taxpayers subsidize the starvation wages of their profitable corporations. If they think they can avoid answering this question because they declined to testify at my hearing they are sorely mistaken.

Dems won the WH and Senate because they promised voters a $15 minimum wage. Instead, a procedural *recommendation* from an *unelected* representative is going to prevent 32 million Americans from getting a wage.

Walmart & McDonald's pay wages so low that tens of thousands of their workers are forced to rely on food stamps, Medicaid & public housing. I invited the CEOs of these companies to a hearing to explain why they can't afford to pay a $15 minimum wage. Taxpayers deserve an answer.

Half of our workers are living paycheck to paycheck and millions of people are working for starvation wages. We need the minimum wage to be a living wage and that’s why we’re going to raise it to $15 an hour.

CEOs at Merck and Pfizer each make almost $50 million a year. A senior's median income is $25,000 a year. Pharma CEOs get rich charging the world’s highest prices. Seniors cut their pills in half and skip groceries trying to afford them. That is disgusting and has got to end.

Parents must be able to get childcare without struggling to pay rent or buy food. Children must have the best possible head start in life. We are going to finally guarantee universal, quality, affordable childcare in this country.

Wall Street billionaires have cooked up a new scheme: buying up health clinics so they can charge unsuspecting patients insane “out-of-network” fees. That is pretty disgusting. cepr.shorthandstories.com/private-equity…
