Once again, Trump’s agenda is clear: giving handouts in the form of tax breaks to the rich while breaking his promises to the working class. #RaiseTheWage americanprogress.org/press/statemen…

President Trump and U.S. Senate Republican leaders are standing in the way of 40 million hard-working people getting the decent wage that they deserve...

Time and time again, research shows that raising the minimum wage is an effective way to reduce poverty and improve quality of life without any significant job loss.

The federal minimum wage has remained stagnant since 2009, with its purchasing power plummeting 17 percent over the past decade. Meanwhile, corporate profits have exploded, and CEOs and executives have grown richer off the backs of their workers.

A $15 minimum wage reinforces the dignity of work and brings essentials such as rent, child care, and groceries within reach for hardworking Americans. For far too long, America’s workers have not received the pay that they deserve:

Today, the House defied Trump’s veto threat and took an important step to address poverty and inequality in the U.S. A $15 hourly minimum wage would provide greater economic security to more than 40 million workers. Nobody who works a full-time job should have to live in poverty.

Deregulatory actions taken by the Trump admin & conservative judges have made it more likely that massive shadow banks--think Lehman Brothers--will cause or exacerbate another financial crisis. ampr.gs/2XM3Of4

When I vote for the #RaiseTheWage Act today, I'll be thinking about my own parents, hard working refugees from Vietnam who had low-wage jobs & struggled to make ends meet.
It’ll be one of the proudest votes I cast in Congress.

"Wages for the top 1% have grown 150% since 1979. Wages for middle-class families, working families have stagnated. Their wages do not keep up with the skyrocketing cost of health care, prescription drugs, childcare, housing, a college education."
