I have to believe most of us believe anyone that has a job, should earn enough from a 40 hour week to live a decent lifestyle. And omg yes, when any company that has that much clear wealth, paying employees a wage that needs food stamps or apply for public aid,, it's ridiculous. But,,,, just raising wages to a set amount is not the answer. What happens to the guy or gal that have worked for 25 years at a job just to earn 15 or 20 an hour? Do they suddenly start getting 25 or 30? And doesn't everyone think the company's will just raises prices to cover the raises. Damn right something needs to be done,, but just jumping minimum wage to 15 or 20 or whatever, might not be it. And Bernie or any other president Wannabe, can say anything to make people vote for them,,, that is no damn guarantee it'll even happen.
