More money in the pockets of entry-level workers sounds great, but Rachel Greszler of the conservative Heritage Foundation argues that such workers, and the economy writ large, are hurt more than helped by increases in the minimum wage.
Hahaha poor Jimbo, not understanding the basics of political discourse. You’re picking apart pieces of the story to have something to argue with.
Just highlighting more lies by you, the Republicans didn’t block minimum wage there wasn’t enough of them to block it.
Fact is, the minimum wage was always intended to be a living wage. Despite failed attempts previous at the turn of the decade due to republican opposition, you still think FDR was lying then AND the Government has been lying about it the entire time, but you won’t assign the proper blame to the Republicans and Supreme Court who required the minimum wage to not be a full living wage.
There is a lot of stupid in this section so I’ll try to address it all. There was not enough Republicans to block anything, the dems had veto proof numbers. The Supreme Court didn’t block any bill because the rminimim wage was was set 0.40 rather than 0.25 that might be the most moronic excuse you came up with.
And once again, the fact that the minimum wage hasn’t been a living wage or wasn’t on day one does not underscore the intent of minimum wage. Just like how the US has never been a perfect union even though the intent is to get closer to perfection. Just because we had a Civil War and currently have record levels of wealth inequality does not mean this experiment in democracy is a failure. It just means we still have work to do.
If the intent was for minimum wage to be a living wage it would have gotten done.

Sorry things aren’t that cut and dry in real life, even if your delusions say otherwise 🙃
They had opportunities to make minimum wage a living wage but choose not to. Their actions make it clear what their intent was.
Who are “they”?
If you think hard I’m sure you can figure it out.
No please enlighten me, who do you think “they” are?
Your ignorance knows no bounds, the same people that voted for the minimum wage bill.
Ok if you can’t list them I’m just going to refer to them as “the boogeyman”.
Is the boogeyman in the room with you now?
What happened to you to make you so damaged.
