The disparity in wealth between rich and poor is worse than ever before. Adopting a national minimum wage that is a true living wage is a great first step on the path to shared economic prosperity.
Our government should devote itself to ensuring that every American can work and achieve economic success. There are many ways the government can ensure job creation. We know that small businesses are the engine of our economy and the government should make available access to the support that they need.

Conservatives such as Michael McCaul tout bonuses for some corporate workers (i.e., $250 for Chipotle staff), hoping we will accept crumbs instead of cookies. An increase to a $15 minimum wage would give many workers an increase of $200 or more every week! Instead of strengthening the safety net – building strong public schools, ensuring universal healthcare, allowing students to attend college without debt, guaranteeing a retirement with dignity—the Republican Administration has reached into the pockets of school teachers, police officers, and tens of millions of hard-working Americans, to please their corporate donors.
