When the minimum wage goes up, Workers are often laid off or have their hours reduced, meaning they make less money and get more government money. Furthermore, the higher cost of doing business leads to higher prices which raise the cost of living.

 @B9VZTD9 from Texas  agreed…5mos5MO

Raising the minimum wage puts more money in workers’ pockets, which can lift many people out of poverty and reduce how much they need to rely on government assistance. It’s not just about higher pay it’s about helping people meet basic needs and strengthening the overall economy

 @B9VZ2TY  from Pennsylvania  agreed…5mos5MO

I agree and I think it would put more money back into the economy and less money in banks to sit for years and years

 @B9VYZHG from Pennsylvania  agreed…5mos5MO

Agreed, with inflation rates and rent increasing, most people aren't even able to eat while affording housing.

 @B9VYNVF from Florida  agreed…5mos5MO

I do not agree with minimum wage beause thats not fair for poor people like we should make the minimum wage for highschoolers how it is and raise it for people who are working two jobs

 @B9W2RFL from Alabama  disagreed…5mos5MO

Raising minimum wage puts more money in workers pockets, lifts hundreds of thousands out of poverty and helps rely less on government aid.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
