Trump Treasury nominee Scott Bessent opposes raising the minimum wage. Bernie Sanders: “You don’t think we should change the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour?” Bessent: "No, sir."
@unusual_whales He said NO to deciding at the federal level—it should be a state-by-state decision. Stop twisting words.
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales Should be zero anyway
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales This comment is so unbelievably stupid. The minimum wage should be a federal issue since we pay federal taxes. You are the one who is missing the indirect nature of his response.
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales No it shouldn't you fucking dumbshit. Nobody can get by on 7.25 an hour. The ENTIRE country has greedily lagged behind on paying fair wages for decades. Anybody working 40+ hours (if they're lucky to get that) should be able to afford food, rent, transportation, etc.
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales Yes leave it to the states so that red states can say no and continue to be poor and reliant on blue states. That’ll work.
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales Just watched the video; no words were twisted.
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales That is so stupid . We pay federal taxes , the fact that the minimum wages is listed at a federal level contradicts your very argument … 🤦🏻♂️
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales i still dont agree with it
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales There should be a federal minimum hence why we have 1, just increase by the average of the lower bound of all the states Average cost of living, you could literally do this in 30 secs with chatgpt😂😂😂
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales the quoted question literally says “federal minimum wage” there’s no twisting words you dweeblord
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales Does anyone anywhere not realize this? Lol what??
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales what words are twisted? it clearly says in the tweet “bernie sanders: you don’t think we should change the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour?” it shows exactly what bernie asked and bessent’s response.
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales Are the twisted words in the room with us right now?
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales You’re not helping your case by posting the same screenshot showing states w/ higher minimum wage, you’re actually proving the point of why it should be federally raised. Federal minimum wage is there to protect ALL AMERICANS from labor abuse & reduce poverty…thats not happening
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales There should be no minimum wage in states, either. youtube.com/watch?v=9ydGXK…
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales Follow the Constitution. Things not enumerated in the Constitution shall be left to the states
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales 🤡 this isn't an argument. Why should it be up to the states to legalize blatant exploitation or ban women's Healthcare rights Don't answer, because nobody needs to read anymore of anything you have to say.
@bitcoinagile @unusual_whales So hes OK with a state deciding that $7.25 an hour is acceptable?
