Hey I legitimately hope you die if you think people can survive on that. Please choke on your next meal and die you fucking evil cunt.
lol
Assuming 40 x 52 (which basically never happens for a majority of wage workers), that's $20,000 before taxes. Absolutely pathetic.

I feel before any member of congress is allowed to discuss wages, they have to be forced into the Price is Right! game where they have to just know the prices of common goods.
"They're currently making 7.25, so you're welcome."

$15 is already laughable. $10 is a whole comedy routine.
Minimum wage should probably be ~$20 and should increase at a rate of about two to three percent per year so we don't have to keep kicking this can down the road.

$10 didnt mean shit in 2015 much less by 2025
if wages kept up with inflation and cost of living even $15 would be lowballing it

Lol it should've been at least $10 a decade ago without taking increases in productivity into account.
Yeah this is DOA.
What's more interesting to me is how Romney has been maneuvering during the Biden + Democratic majority era. Rather than just playing the GOP Playbook and voting no on everything and providing no other measures, he's been unusually active in proposing new legislation, some of which is actually interesting (the reform of the child tax credit to being direct cash payments for families), the $600b Republican response to Biden's COVID relief bill, and then this.

So 10$ and hour is like 1600$ for a full time job. My rents fucking 1400$, not counting utilities, food, etc.
How the fuck are people supposed to save for the future on 10$ an hour?? I could never afford a house at that rate!
what the fuck man, these evil greedy politicians are so out of touch. It makes me so fucking mad.
American dream my fucking ass.

The GOP's wet dream is to have no minimum wage. So you are probably right.
Is there a graph or something that shows how the minimum wage has increased over time in non-shitty countries, compared to the US?
EDIT: Here's a link to a page that lets you download a CSV with historical minimum wage changes in each Canadian Territory/Province. It looks like all of them have gone up by over 50% in the last 10-15 years. Compared to the US which has done fuck all.

That's not going to work, all the older ones are already multimillionaires
The GOP ones would just get cycled into oil/pharma jobs every few years to get their "real salary" then get swapped back into congress
Here's my proposal: Let's make Cotton's and Romney's salary $10 an hour. Let's see what they think.
like 10 isn't enough now.....
I personally don't mind a gradual raise, but only 10 by 2025? That's some bullshit.

ur boi already got a quarter bill
You're supposed to save it and invest it!
How many investments can $10 an hour 4 years from now get you?

At this rate, I fully expect an abolish minimum wage bill from the GOP.
