Hildog got decimated there.
Omalley and Bernie brought the brass knucks
$12, lol
You can barely live on $15 in a lot of places.

it being that wide is the entire problem. We're so far from where we should be that we need to take some big leaps.Because the spread between the highest bracket now (40%) and 90% is way too wide.
Are you being purposely difficult?
lol
"we're gonna talk about wall street but first commercials an shit"
perfect
Yup, this is why we let states raise it higher than the national minimum.And in those places, the minimum can be higher.
O Malley is going to take votes out of Bernie omg this is TRAGEDY.
I LOVE THE MODS FOR THIS MIN WAGE QUESTION.
did omalley just say we should stop taking the advice of economists?

I'm not sure why O'Malley is in this.
I guess it's okay to have him there, but for Hillary it must be annoying to be polling at like 55 and have to stand on an equal stage with someone who's polling at 4% and listen to him challenge you.
yeah, but it's within the same paradigm and based on the same reality - something i think the people criticizing the three candidates for "copying" each other for having reasonably similar plans have forgotten is supposed to be the norm after the insanity of some recent debatesThere's a very real difference between Sanders and Clinton on the minimum wage.

Correct, my economic thinking isn't 5-6+ decades out of date.So just curious, I'd assume your take on the minimum wage issue is more in line with Hilary?

In rich cities, a $15 min wage might be great. In poorer rural areas, it might be a disaster.

It's not just Wall Street economists warning against it.Specifically, he said Wall Street.
...What are you even saying anymore? I'm looking for concrete answers on what Bernie's tax bracket would look like, not taglines.it being that wide is the entire problem. We're so far from where we should be that we need to take some big leaps.
Half measures are fine, but they won't fix things. Bernie's not talking about half measures.
That's a recent phenomenon. It used to count for more.A lot of former governors will talk about their experience in their states. It makes sense actually. It just seems folks never really take it seriously for presidential races despite the fact actually working in a system like that would help a lot while being president IMO, lol

I think I agree with Hillary there. $15 is too much for some rural states. $12 minimum is pretty good and states can always choose to go higher like in California, Washington, New York... etc. Nobody stopping those states from raising their individual state minimum wage above the federal level. The federal one is to drag those rural red states up to a proper standard.
