Bernie Paying Interns MORE Than His Own Proposals for Raising the Minimum Wage to $15! Go Bernie!
Bernie's bill is calling for raising the federal wage from its current $7.25 an hour to:
$9 in 2016;
$10.50 in 2017 $12 in 2018 $13.50 in 2019 $15 in 2020 Once again, putting his actions where his words are! And going further than he needed to! He is paying interns $12.00 an hour. That is his projected pay raise for 2018! This is all the more noble since he is not accepting the huge Corporate donations all the other candidates are receiving. He has been a champion of the #FightForFifteen Movement which is growing by the day across the country. Fight For 15 “It is a national disgrace that millions of full-time workers are living in poverty and millions more are forced to work two or three jobs just to pay their bills,” Sanders said. “A job must lift workers out of poverty, not keep them in it. The current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is a starvation wage and must be raised to a living wage.”
Reps. Keith Ellison, Raul Grijalva, Sheila Jackson-Lee and other members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus sponsored a companion version of the bill in the House. The measures would phase in increases in the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020. 
Note: This is a correction of a smearing dishonest article in one of the corp media publications which I won't link to. The People's Champion! Bernie Sanders!
