for $0.75 per every $1 you make. The minimum wage hasn't been raised
in 10 years so inflation is higher than the wages along with the issues.

As it's said small towns are small for a reason . Make nothing you have nothing.
Small towns have a small cost of living so does a old trailer park doesn't mean you
want to live there. And so having the pay low so people live low expecting high
expectations with more job skills needed with people that don't care about their
education because they have to be at work in 20 minutes and it's cold icy with
a long walk.
Well if you can't live you live bad and so bring others to your level how are
businesses to hire people with no job skills because they are too busy walking
without cars. What will towns have if the people have nothing.
There is a need for higher wages you get what you pay for!
~~~~~Sanders to introduce bill to force Walmart to pay $15 minimum wage.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., will introduce legislation Thursday with Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., intended to force Walmart to pay workers at least $15 an hour. The bill would institute fines for corporations that buy back their own stock unless they set their workers' base pay at that level.
"Last year, 4 members of the Walton family of Walmart made $12.7 billion in 1 day. It would take a full-time Walmart worker making $11/hr over 653,000 years to make that much. Thursday, @RepRoKhanna and I are introducing legislation to make Walmart pay its workers a living wage," Sanders tweeted Tuesday.

In another tweet Sanders fumed, "The Walton family of Walmart owns more wealth than the bottom 40% of Americans."
The legislation will be named the Stop Walmart Act, CNN reported Wednesday.
Sanders has been pushing individual companies to adopt the $15 an hour wage, calling on McDonald's Corporation last month to pay that and threatening a public pressure campaign if it didn't. In early August, Amazon announced it would make $15 the base pay for its employees, following a similar campaign by Sanders, which also included legislation: The Stop BEZOS Act.
Stock buybacks are common practice by corporations to reward shareholders. Sanders and Khanna's proposal would blunt corporations ability to do that. The legislation would be unlikely to pass the GOP-controlled Senate.
A spokesman for Walmart could not reached for comment.
