I'm opposed to raising the minimum wage, but with all the other civil rights in his progressive agenda, I may just go with him.  Good man.

Going back to the labor laws of the late 1800s is progressive?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahhaahah.

Wow!  Isn't it ironic his own family was on public assistance for some periods of time when he was growing up?  He's pushing for a $6.60 min. wage because he now sees the threat from Bob Casey.  HAHAHA.  The unions should fight him tooth and nail on the fine print.  What an asshole!

$6.60/hr is nothing.  It is amazing to think that the minimum is lower than this.

Hah, I thought my $15/hr minimum was a reasonable suggestion.  I have an uncle that worked under the protection of the pipefitter's union in the 1960's, and one time we figured out that a comparable wage today would be nearly $50/hr!

There has been a shocking redistribution from worker to owner over the last 30 years.

I think this idea was floated around before the whole Casey candidacy.
