With regard to your objections about raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, Amazon now pays its employees $15 dollars an hour and has challenged Walmart and Target to match them or raise it to $16 an hour. Target pays $13 and is set to pay $15 by 2020. Yesterday Katie Porter humiliated Jaime Diamond who makes 31 million to pay his employees a livable wage and went through it point by point about how desperate they are on their low pay . She said $20 an hour is needed to just barely make it. We need to raise the pay of people to get them out of poverty and that means paying CEO's less and workers more. We also need to mitigate the homeless problem and I like Warren's ideas of taxing the rich and Yang's (running for dem president) ideas of a minimum federal allotment to every adult in the country.
