Rep. Cori Bush makes it REALLY simple:

[Stinky The Clown]

On Chris Hayes, paraphrased: "About that $15 an hour, we're not talking getting people rich. It's a matter of life and death."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. YES. This is IT. n/t

[UpInArms]

2. Cori Bush

Is so very clear and real

[bdamomma]

3. I like her.

12 years since it's been increased??? That is criminal. Give people $15 dollars please. WTF.

[Gore1FL]

4. I posted this on Facebook just last night.

If you don't support a livable wage, there are two possibilities of what you do support:
1> You want your tax dollars to subsidize business owners, or
2> You want your tax dollars to dispose of the dead bodies in the street.
It seems to me it's better when business owners pay their own way than either of those two other options. You know. It's called self-reliance.

Cori Bush is my Representative. She obviously represents me.

11. If you can't pay $15/hr, then you don't have a viable business and

You will be out of business soon anyway.
When that happens do you want to work for $7.25/hr. or do you want to work for 15.00/hr.??

[Gore1FL]

12. Exactly!

The people who think labor is the drain, haven't looked at their material costs!

5. Hear, hear.

[onecaliberal]

6. It's true but here's the thing.

They watched 500,000 people perish without a word or action. They don’t care that it’s death.

[George II]

7. What's interesting is all the people who are telling the Senate what to do are NOT Senators!

[Dem4Life1102]

10. Every American has the right to tell the senate what to do

It’s called democracy.

[Gore1FL]

13. +1 nt

8. The only way to govern,

is to go nuclear. The Senate was never meant to have a 60 vote threshold. These issues will keep happening over and over again.

Go for it; simple majority.

[wendyb-NC]

9. That's right

It's survival against the odds of affording a safe, decent place to live and care for their families, in today's market. Rep. Cori Bush, is one of my heroes, she is working for the people.
