Rep. Rashida Tlaib said the federal minimum wage should be raised to $20 an hour. "Big fights like this one, $15. When we started it, it should have been $15," the Michigan Democrat said in a video posted by America Rising on Monday. "Now I think it should be $20 ... It should be $20 an hour. $18-20 an hour." Tlaib said the higher minimum was because the cost of "a lot of things" has gone up. (Snip) "These corporations are making billions off of our blood and sweat," then-candidate Tlaib said. "That's the most American thing you can do

I think $100 should be the minimum wage, as long as we are off in La-La land. How about $1000/hr?
These people are literally insane.
Of course, she is a Muslim saboteur and her intent is to harm the USA in any way she can.

Tlaib should instead lead by example, start any company she likes, and pay everyone minimum $20.
Six months max before she is utilizing bankruptcy laws.

I still say you should have to show a basic understanding of the Constitution and basic economics before you can hold any government job -- especially in the legislature!!!!!!!
That would automatically remove 98% of all Demon-Rats from legislatures everywhere!!!!!

I'll pay her $20 an hour to go full hijab so we don't have to see that ugly face. Twenty-five if she puts a sock in it.

Perhaps Tlaib wants the American economy to resemble Zimbabwe.

Well, that didn't take long. What's the matter with $100/.hour? Or is that saved for the major election announcement to garner the freebee crowd's votes?

$1,000,000.00 dollars an hour or no deal. Being a millionaire is a human right, right?

As soon as you raise the minimum wage by law, "the price of things go up". It's axiomatic, but Tlaib is simply stupid.

The left has always believed business owners are rich and too stingy to pay their employees. They have no idea on all the other expenses employers have to pay. In general people are paid based on how hard they would be to replace. A top rated QB makes millions while 3rd stringer makes thousands. This kind of moronic proposal would cause super inflation and you would wind up with the very same buying power you have now.

Why not raise it to $1,000 per hour, then we can all be rich.

So...... what happens to the people already earning $20 per hour...or 21, 22, 23? Do their wages go up, or are most employees now minimum wage?

I think the federal minimum wage should be $1.00, but can only be paid in the first 90 days of employment, then one's wage should reflect one's value added to the company's bottom line.
Slackers might be offered $1.10 because they don't bring value to the company, yet a cheerful, productive person might be "worth" $15, $20 or more because that person adds to the company's profits.

Sure, raise the minimum wage to $20.00 per hour. Then be ready for a lot of people to have a wage of $0.00 per hour when they get laid off because their companies can no longer afford them or close. Tlaib seems to forget that not every corporation or business is not making billions. Many are getting by paying what they can afford to pay, despite continued government interference. For many businesses, a ridiculous increase in the minimum wage will be the final nail in the coffin that shuts the door for good.
