    AOC Says Min Wage Should Be $24 An Hour As Democrats Having Trouble Passing $15 Hike

    As Senate Democrats try to fit a $15 minimum wage hike into the $1.9 trillion dollar COVID relief package, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) criticized some Democrats for not supporting Progressive’s demand for the measure.


    Saying that opponents of the minimum wage increase were “living in a dystopian capitalist nightmare,” AOC took it a step further on MSNBC.


    She stated that, “when you take the minimum wage from several decades ago and you actually account for inflation and productivity gains to today, it should really be $24 an hour.”


    She went on to say that Democrats must understand “how deep of a compromise $15 an hour is,” including a multi-year phase in.


    Some Democrats Trying To Bypass Rules

    While AOC claims that the minimum wage should be $24 an hour, Senate Democrats cannot seem to pass a $15 an hour wage hike, a central point in President Joe Biden’s campaign.


    House Democrats tried to stuff a $15 an hour minimum wage hike into the recent COVID-19 relief package. However, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough declared the wage hike was “not compliant with budget reconciliation rules.”

    Why doesn't AOC introduce her own legislation?

    If this story was posted on a Fake Political Meme sight the Joke would lack credibility.


    You need genuine AOC to say something this STUPID and think she is getting ahead politically when saying it!

    We lose because we argue over how much rather than its unconstitutionality.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
