If only Democrats had the stones to do this.

    It should be, which is why it’s so odd you’re so against raising it, but it’s not it’s just the minimum any state can pay.

    Which is why states can be higher than federal.

    So again cite where it says it has to be tied or have anything to do with the cost of living in the poorest state.

      I never once said I was against raising it. This debate began when I stated that raising it to $17 is sufficient for a federal minimum wage, as it’s the median income in Arkansas.

        This entire time you’ve been arguing only the state min wage should be increased/should only be equal to Arkansas.

        And as all the evidence shows 17 isn’t enough.

        So again please show where min wage can only be equal to col in the poorest state

            Thank you for finally admitting you don’t know what you’ve been arguing about this entire time.

                No you can’t understand why anyone would want the federal level to be raised instead of relying on states to do it.

                Then can’t show why you say min wage has to be tied to poorest state.

                And gets angry at everyone pointing out why that’s a bad idea.

                So yeah I’m the one who needs to learn to read…
