I never said yo did. I simply grabbed a number that's been bandied about by the left as a balloon starting point.
How about we knock $10 off that, and go with what I wrote, it changes nothing.
What you advocate is Soviet style central planning. You know, where one Soviet Satellite State produces food, while another produces transportation, so no one figure fits all, so this is a rounded figure for all States.
Or are you saying we need to set differing wage amounts around the nation? Then most of the richer States get bumped back up to $40 or higher while States like Idaho and Wyoming get a much lower wage set.
Care to even consider how this effects each State individually?

See, this is the problem with central planning bureaucrats, they literally destroy the economy!

Then you claim:

I'm advocating for American style central planning. We already set wages.

There is absolutely no difference, Central Planning is a Marxist concept, Period!!!

Here is bernies agenda sumed up:

I think there are some people who make too much money, I think there are some people who have too much money, I know how to spend their money better than they do. I will take their money they earned and give others who did not earn it free college, free health care for Americans and EVERYONE WHO CROSSES THE BORDER, forgive student loan debt, enforce the new green deal. I will demand small businesses regardless of their financial situation to pay at least $15 an hour.

Bernies plan will cost you $60 Trillion.

Pull that much out of the working peoples pockets and watch business fold. Or do some people think the money is just there?


Joe, this one is for you.

My favorite part:  ""The choice in this election is shaping up to be a very clear one. It will likely boil down to a battle between those who create and produce wealth, and those who take it and redistribute it.""
