No
matter who you are, no matter what your color, creed,
how you choose to pray or who you choose to love,
that if you are an American - first generation or
fifth - one who is willing to work hard, play by the
rules and apply your God-given talents - that you
should be able to find a job that pays the bills.
~ Sen.
Cory Booker

You
should be able to afford health care for your family. You
should be able to retire with dignity and respect. And you
should be able to give your children the kind of education
that allows them to dream even bigger, go even farther and
accomplish even more than you could ever imagine. ~ Sen.

No
business which depends for existence on paying less
than living wages to its workers has any right to
continue in this country. By living wages I mean more
than a bare subsistence level --I mean the wages of
decent living.
-- Franklin
D. Roosevelt

"In
my view, we need a massive federal jobs program which
puts millions of our people back to work. We must
end our disastrous trade policies. We need to raise
the minimum wage to a living wage. And we have to
fight for pay equity for women."
~ Sen.
Bernie Sanders
A
job should lift workers out of poverty, not keep them
in it."

"I
want to applaud those workers rallying to raise the
minimum wage to $15 per hour. I believe strongly that
a great nation will not survive when so few have so
much and so many have so little. Every worker in America
should be given respect, dignity and the wages and
benefits they need to take care of their family."
~ Sen.

"We
are living in the richest country in the history of
the world, yet we have the highest rate of childhood
poverty of almost any major] country and millions
of people are struggling to put food on the table.
It is my absolute conviction that everyone in this
country deserves a minimum standard of living and
we've got to go forward in the fight to make that
happen."
~ Sen.
