Oh and we won't even demand the egregious vacation time they all get. One month per year will suffice. . Sean DeesPlease make the Federal Minimum Wage $15+COLA+automatic inflation increases every quarter.7 . John Michael ByersWe need total equality in this control, everyone should make exactly the same!!11 . Laurus Leigh NobilisThe minimum wage would be @$25 PH today if the USA had raised the minimum wage w/inflation. Anything less is lowballing the working class out of cruelty. Danielle F WaltersYes, we need a Living Wage for all Americans. No giant corporation works with just the CEO and everyone deserves to live a good life 10 Personalized Baseball Player USA Customize Flag

  Casie BrewerMy local franchised McDonald's pays their workers like $11 which is above minimum wage. Guess what? They are fast, efficient and I've only had one or two orders wrong in the last ten years. They also have a low turnover rate because the same people have been there for years. They deserve a living wage at $15.12 . Elizabeth Rivlin GriggsPerhaps we should start deducting salary from congressional members who can't show up for work. Is their a maximum number of sick days like in most companies? How about a maximum number of skipped votes?2 . Brennan SharpePerhaps the median McDonald's worker should work to start their own franchise and compete. McDonald's was founded by working class citizens with a goal and drive.1 .

  Jonathan LeeAnd then, in a pandemic, these same workers are labelled as "essential" and are forced to take the risk for sub par wages. 3 . Dennis SteeleUmm, Bernie. You're always telling us "what needs to change" but never how to initiate that change. You're in the Senate — get it started.19 . Nathan SmithWe should set a maximum wage a CEO can be paid relative to minimum wage they pay their lowest paid employee (or subcontractor… otherwise they'll drive through that loophole). It can still be a big number, but if you set a ratio then it's in the CEO's best interest to raise wages.We should do the same thing for Congressional salaries relative to the minimum wage… every time Congress wants to raise their salary they'd have to raise minimum wage. Seems like a nice check and balance. (I'd argue that we should start with a ratio of their current wage to a $20/hr. minimum wage.)6
