"Democratic presidential hopeful Tom Steyer says he would call for a $22 hourly minimum wage if elected president.

The billionaire climate activist made that call during a campaign block party on Sunday afternoon in Winnsboro, South Carolina."

If birthrates are brought down that number would be realistic. But with billions of people on the planet?! LMAO!

The third world should do itself and the rest of the world a favor and reduce its birthrate down to zero!

Sadly, it's not realistic in the current climate.  That being said, if minimum wage had kept up the past 50 years with inflation, etc, it would already be between $22-24 per hour.

Incorrect.

Minimum wage in 1970 was $1.60.

That's adjusted for inflation to approx. $10.91 as of 2020.

Why $22 an hour?  Why not $50, $100, $1,000, or $50,000 an hour?  What is the limit for the libtards?

There should be no minimum wage at all.

That's right.  Employers can pay as high as they want.  The sky's the limit!
