$17 an hour??? Don’t California THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!!!
I just moved to California from Florida. Alot better here than florida buddy lol. Also, if California was its own country it’ll be the 6th largest country by gdp in the world. You need California to survive.
@@subscriberswithOnlyonevi-zm2ixright the red states are like communist countries i live in tennessee
@@subscriberswithOnlyonevi-zm2ixno we dont. If we lost CA, the people would just have to move elsewhere. It’s the 3rd largest state in terms of landmass with a beautiful Mediterranean climate. It has nothing to do with politics. So yeah, another comment that makes no sense.
@josephsmith4161 you are delusional and blinded by what I assume is hatred for California or democrats. Not bothering debating you. Saying you don’t need the 6th largest gdp in the world that’s an agriculture, tech,and industrial powerhouse and also pays the most federal taxes of any state. You are delusional. America needs California or its economy would be considerably worsened

Not everyone lives in Vermont, Bernie. Raising the minimum wage to $17/hr in places like WV would ruin the lower class. Take that to the state houses.
A living wage in this country, for rent, food, medical care, is the same in all states. $17/hr is the lower limit of a living wage. You want to keep WV poor forever?
@@lynn0MAMinimum wage was never there to support adults. Especially those supporting a family. Grow up.
Look at her eyes! She is telegraphing. The Democratics had 4 years, and they dud nothing.
There were numerous attempts to raise the minimum wage during this Congress. Guess who voted it down?
What a ridiculous idea. This comment in LaLa Land.
ehh, i’m in college and make $9 an hour working as an assistant in a bodyshop. that’s enough for fun money while i’m living at home. i can’t think of a single full time REAL job that pays someone less than $15/hr, unless it requires no skill or education at all. if you’re working a job that requires zero skill and you hardly do anything, you should expect to make low-effort wages
9$ an hour is embarrassing brother. I’d feel bad for you if you weren’t so ignorant honestly
@ i’m literally saying i am content with the amount of money i’m getting… and you’re calling me ignorant for it
are you sure you aren’t the ignorant one?
@@moistysupreme1884 buddy… 9 dollars an hour is fine if u want to buy a few subscription services, pay for ps plus yearly, and go out to eat twice a week. It is NOT fine if you have bills you have to pay. Which you don’t. Congratulations. But other people need higher wages to survive.
@@moistysupreme1884 buddy… 9 dollars an hour is fine if you want to pay for a few subscription services and go out to eat a few times a week. It’s not fine if you have bills you have to pay. You don’t. Congratulations. Many people do though
@ correct. because i work part time like 15 hours a week and i dont plan on trying to beg for more wages from my small business owner boss.
if i worked full time id get full time wages and benefits. who’d have thunk it. the federal minimum wage should be raised, to maybe 9 or 10 an hour for part time employees. full time should be 12. most small business owners could barely support 12 though, which is why individual states having their own minimum wages is better than a federal standard. making 17 in florida is ok, in california you’re barely making ends meet. the entire country isn’t paying the same for gas, groceries, insurance, and property taxes. that’s why a $15 federal minimum wage can’t work.
asking for a $15 minimum wage is asking for small businesses to downsize and corporations barely change at all. you think it will make the average american more wealthy, it will just give corporations more control
She is such a dolt, always has been despite HQ putting her forward. Imagine asking Bernie if he’s concerned about UFOs in New Jersey – he was surprised at being asked such a ridiculous question.
People its your life choices that you earn
$ 7.25 or $ 17.25 an hr. Raise nothing, better yourself though education or trade.
They dont want to. They want $50/hr to flip burgers while texting.
The more you make, the more they take. When they raised it to $15 dollars an hour, it caused everything to rise. Don’t listen to this socialist.
A 15 dollar minimum wage would actually ruin the country, I understand raising it but too 15 dollars would shred small businesses
If you can’t pay 15 dollars an hour and have to rely on paying poverty wages then your business shouldn’t be running. Also, California has it to where large fast food chains pay a higher wage than smaller companies. America could easily adopt a similar philosophy as it works very well there.
@ it does not work in California, what do you mean? A lot of small businesses have closed in California for the exact reasoning. Not only that but it’s state by state. I agree with raising it to maybe 9.50 but states like Florida could not survive that.
@ yea this is a statistic, 9500 jobs had to be cut because of the $20 minimum wage in California.
@@matthewb1742absolutely hilarious you mention florida. I used to live there. It’s horrible. Higher education is expensive (yes even community college). Minimum wage is only 13 dollars even though the economy is the best it’s ever been in fl. And the rent and car insurance is insane and unlivable. California prices are basically the same but they offer community college for free,higher wages,better Healthcare,better education, etc. Florida absolutely COULD survive a minimum wage increase. But they keep putting people in office that don’t care about working class so they won’t do it.
@@matthewb1742 i found a job in 2 weeks in california… i looked for work in Florida and couldn’t find a job at all. And that statistic isn’t real. Uc Berkeley recently did a study and showed there wasn’t an absurd amount of job cuts. Why are you lying?
Let’s be for real suggest $20 an hour and get rid of the slave wages for good. Peace
Age limits, for the love of all that is holy AGE LIMITS! This guy thinks hes getting ready to fight for the people, and everyone who ever beileved in his ideologies were killed by their own governments.
People called him crazy for this in 2016 now you would be lucky to afford a decent apartment on that.
Don’t blame it on Republicans bernie, you couldn’t get all the democrats either.
Hahaha. Right.
Sorry, Senator, Mr. Trump doesn’t negotiate with anybody…
Why do they keep giving this camera hog a platform? Socialism never works unless
You count making everyone equally miserable. Time to get a new camera hog, preferably under 70 years of age.
The real crime is that tipped waged can be paid as low as $2.50
This is why the democrats failed inflation. If you don’t want to work minimum wage, work somewhere else. I did it You can, too. It’s really that easy.
just remove income tax
Yeah, sure keep raising minimum wage… someday a big mac will cost $15.00 haha…
Get an education
Why would Bernie work with Orange Mustache Man?
This happens when someone has no idea how an economy works. $17 minimum wage?
Very sad Lord have mercy
I’m not opposed to raising federal minimum wage, but I think minimum wage in general should be left to the States.
States like New York and California obviously need a higher minimum wage but then you have other states with far less people, and the cost of living is a fraction of that in more populous states, it makes no sense to impose a higher federal minimum wage there
