Manchin supports an $11 minimum wage because he says its more appropriate for rural areas, like those in West Virginia. But the MIT living wage calculator says $11 is not a living wage in West Virginia even for a single person with no kids https://t.co/cFHWfy2OR4 — PolitiTweet.org

Increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 would decrease spending on nutrition assistance by $4 billion because the current minimum wage is so low that many people with jobs still require government assistance to feed their family https://t.co/cFHWfy2OR4 — PolitiTweet.org

Increasing the minimum wage to $15 would also increase tax revenue because it would increase labor income and reduce capital income and we tax labor at much higher rates than capital. That also seems pretty backwards. https://t.co/cFHWfy2OR4 — PolitiTweet.org
