Tim Black: Hillary Clinton Is No Champion of the $15 Hour Minimum Wage!

Hillary Clinton is shameless. As New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the first statewide $15-an-hour minimum wage in the nation Hillary was there. Clinton was there not because she was a supporter of the "Fight for 15"movement, but because she's a dirty politician who wants to mislead voters and snag a gratuitous photo op. Bernie Sanders has been fighting for "Income Equality" his whole career. The $15 hour wage increase has been a pillar of the Sanders Campaign meanwhile Hillary has appeared in National Debates and on the campaign trail chiding Sanders as "All Talk, A Big Dreamer and Unrealistic" to fight for $15 hour living wage.

Today was a shameful, disgusting, sick day for New York Politics. Tim Black breaks it down

better than Obama who had to really stretch to go over $10 per hour. He managed to keep it down to $10.10 and that was only for a handful of employees. Yeah gotta go slow with these things. They workers can always get food at a foodbank.
