Now, why would my supporters be supporting somebody who doesn't want to raise the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, a starvation wage, doesn't want to do that. why would anybody that supports me support a candidate like trump who wants to throw millions and millions of people off of health insurance? we need to guarantee health care to all people as a right, not throw millions of people off health insurance as trump wants to do.

More From Bernie Sanders

[a] family with two kids that earns the minimum wage still lives below the poverty line. that's wrong. that's why, since the last time this congress raised the minimum wage, 19 states have chosen to bump theirs even higher. tonight, let's declare that in the wealthiest nation on earth, no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty, and raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour.
Kids Two Should Have
Minimum wage laws tragically generate unemployment, especially so among the poorest and least skilled or educated workers... because a minimum wage, of course, does not guarantee any worker's employment; it only prohibits, by force of law, anyone from being hired at the wage which would pay his employer to hire him.
Law Doe Unemployment
In my view, it is not a question of trump having won the election, it's a question of democrats having lost the election. democrats need a strong progressive agenda which says to the working class of this country, we are going the stand and fight for you, we're going to raise the minimum wage, pay equity for women, we're going to rebuild the infrastructure, and we're going to guarantee health care to all people as a right. we're going to make public colleges and universities tuition-free.
Country Strong Fighting
Working-class americans have waited too long, close to a decade in fact, for an increase in the minimum wage. this has been the second longest period without a pay raise since the federal minimum wage law was first enacted in 1938.
Law Class Long
A general flat minimum-wage law for all industry is permissible, but i do not think that it is a particularly wise method of achieving the end. i know much better methods of providing a minimum for everybody. but once you turn from laying down a general minimum for all industry to decreeing particular and different minimum for different industries, then, of course, you make the price mechanism inoperative, because it is no longer the price mechanism which will guide people between industries and trades.
Wise Thinking Law
In my view, we need a massive federal jobs program which puts millions of our people back to work. we must end our disastrous trade policies. we need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. and we have to fight for pay equity for women.

Writing is the main gig and teaching and performing are sidelines, an excuse for not writing more. working on a novel and on an opera make me seriously want to retire and find a volunteer job as a docent at the zoo explaining to schoolchildren where frogs go in the winter.
