This is a great chance to show the country what their elected officials really think. Slave wages for you, but not for them.

Challenge them live on minimum wage. For two weeks.
Take out the money that goes already to rent and bills.
Take out the parts for medicine, insurance car insurance etc.
Make him survive on what's left for two weeks,I'd prefer 6 months...but that's just me. Two weeks.
And make him find a way to make those piddling dollars stretch.
Bet he'd chicken out before he even started and so would Sinema.
Then we can say you think minimum wage is ok for others yet you are too chicken shit to even try it for two little weeks . Wtf. Cowards like you two need to stfu and vote for wage increases with Biden.
And he could be shamed in perpetually for that.
