A $15 national minimum wage.
In Congress, I introduced the “Catching Up to 1968 Act,” which raises the minimum wage to $15 because, adjusted for inflation, that’s what the minimum wage was back in 1968. Under the current minimum wage, full-time workers make $1200 per month, and they owe $100 in taxes on that. How can anyone survive on $1100 per month? That’s less than the average Social Security check. Everyone deserves a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work, and that means $15 an hour, at least. And with YOUR SUPPORT, we can make that happen.
