@georgetakei This is an absolutely terrible take from Van Drew - but honestly part of my left-leaning disappointment with the Dems is that the focus on "education" to solve poverty is actually the same answer wearing a different tie.

It feels like we're coming out of it, but we really need to be the party that embraces the notion that every job at every station must pay a real living wage.

@mausmalone @georgetakei

Democrats have already been doing this in states that they control, look up the minimum wage by state. Then look up which states have progressive and regressive tax systems and which states have strong social safety nets.
