But you didn't have to KEEP bussing tables & raise your kids on that wage. And when you were young, your elected officials hadn't spent the last 30 years peddling tired "hard work" arguments just to give handouts to corps, bust unions, and automate & offshore jobs. But sure...
@SenJohnThune I started working by bussing tables at the Star Family Restaurant for $1/hour & slowly moved up to cook – the big leagues for a kid like me– to earn $6/hour. Businesses in small towns survive on narrow margins. Mandating a $15 minimum wage would put many of them out of business. https://t.co/izQDOGRAH1
