    If it is only for American citizens, and not illegal aliens, I'll take a look if it is AMERICA FIRST and EXCLUDES non-citizens.

    Federal, State and local governments should subsidize the market wage for unskilled labor.

    Cutting green checks is one of the few things government can do with some efficiency.

    She and the others of the Jihadist Squad have no real roots in America. Three of them are first generation Americans and none have ever owned and run a business.

    But then again how many Democratic politicians ever held down a real job and have trade that they could fall back on if they found themselves in the private sector ?

    The justified outrage comes from the taxpayers who are paying this nutjob a big salary to propose things that have ZERO chance of actually happening.

    How about she does some work that pertains to the real world?

    This is actually an improvement for The Squat.

    Back when AOC floated the original version of her New Green $teal she wanted us to pay people who were "unwilling to work".

    At least Rep. I Get A Calming Feeling From The Holocaust (D-Gaza) expects people to work...

    If fast food can't afford to pay workers $20 an hour it shouldn't exist as an industry.

    Also, $50 an hour 15 hours a week? 39,000 a year. Get two jobs, that's 80 grand a year for 30 hours a week. Not bad. The guys under me do 50 hours a week for 30 grand a year. Your $50 an hour prediction sounds pretty good to them.

    Obvious she never looked at California when the Democrats in Sacramento interfered with capitalism.

    Everything cost more in California and now the burger flippers can't afford the burgers they are flipping and are about to be replaced with a freaking robot.

    Now everyone knows Paul Ryan is really a Democrat.
    You know, like Bill Kristal and Max Boot.

    Oh check those receipts on the new trade deal and you'll be shocked how much Mexico is paying. What's sad is that Trump got Mexico to understand the humanitarian disaster on the border and they sent 20,000 troops to stop it. Meanwhile you dems are whining about not letting moms and kids out on the street without food, water, nor shelter. Congrats your true colors are shining through....

    Calling him a socialist is a stretch, but he does act like a Democrat. Maybe if he supports it, dems will oppose it!

    In LA, minimum wage is $14.25. Parking employees have been replaced by machines. Fast food restaurants allows customers to order through a touch screen or on their cell phones. The grocery store just put in individual scanners customers can take through the store with them so they can scan each item before it goes in the cart. There is even an option to have a payment method on file to there is no need to stand in line waiting for a human worker.

    As long as the Voters in her District don't object, not much can be done.

    That is exactly the problem. The minimum wage hikes will be associated with a rise in automation.

    The difference between professional Republican and Democrat pols is the shade of their nail polish.

    Professional politicians care primarily about the financial implications for themselves and their cronies.
