and it ain't republicans

seems like that rot bin of liberals Seattle is the only one coming close to this $20.76

Portland OR is $15.75

New York city $16.50

Huntsville Alabama $7.25 =national minimum wage
Palm Beach Florida =$14

Minimum wage is a disgusting term that should not be applied to anyone except maybe mr orange stable genius....

Even at 15-20 and hour you are not even close to living by yourself in Portland or Seattle and you may STILL need assistance cause that is not a real living wage in either City !!!!!!!
