'We’ve got to stop talking about the minimums,.' Rep. Tim Ryan says that his 2020 presidential campaign is about 'rebuilding the middle class' in the United States.

that he’s running because of the economic challenges facing the industrial Midwest, specifically the closure of a General Motors factory in his district late last year.

"Well, it's not doing well where I come from, and it’s not doing well in a lot of places around the country," Ryan responded. "You know, we talk about increasing the minimum wage, George. People used to make $30, $40 bucks an hour. Yeah, the unemployment rate’s low; people are working, you know, one, two, three jobs to try to make ends meet."

Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tim Ryan speaks at the North America's Building Trades Unions 2019 legislative conference in Washington, April 10, 2019. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said last week that his plan for Medicare for All would "get rid of insurance companies and drug companies making billions of dollars in profit every single year."

Tim Ryan from Ohio ,whom no one ever heard of, says on fake TV this morning he is the centrist dem candidate for POTUS. He goes on to defend baby killing, support Rep Omar, amnesty and says the big problem in education is 'social change'. As Napoleon Dynamite says 'What idiots! '

TimRyan my god how do democrats get so stupid? Ppl already make that an hour! They received an education. U get paid upon skill, job specification and field! NOT JUST BECAUSE U EXIST!!!! Sorry a walmart cashier doesn’t garner a higher wage than their skills! Financial illiterate

Or control inflation. Which means reducing the money we print. Stabilizing the population too. More humans means less resources for each, and harder work to get those resources.

Free free free dumb as democrats let workers and Republicans pay for it

Screw that. My dream is to be CEO of UnitedHealthcare and make $40,000 an hour.

This is ignorant! When companies pay more they raise prices to compensate. Then your earnings are lost in buying power! Inflation!

Obama nearly decimated the middle class in his 8 year reign of terror. Trump has changed all that. We are back. The dems are now trying to basically copy him. lol pathetic. Democrats care only about the very rich and very poor. Using the middle to pay for it all. No more.

A good idea if it can come in to progress

There's a lot of people out there actually if you really do the surveys that is making 20 plus dollars that's not really the problem but it is the problem they don't give anybody a chance to grow to make that $20 the middle-class does need rebuilt

Good luck!

Yep‼️ Do you think we will ever make that kind of money⁉️⁉️It’s only Doctors, Attorneys, Actors, Musicians, & Politicians who make those big bucks‼️😠😠😠😠

Basic economics, raising minimum wage creates inflation. As a small business owner, I promise you, if i have to pay my employees $50 an hr, erebody gonna be paying $30 for a chop brisket sandwich..

How is mandating labor rates different than mandating prices? “What if a Corvette was only $10k, then every American could have one. That’s the American Dream, amirite?”

🤔🤔🤔🤷🏼‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

All Democrats want to do is raise taxes which absolutely destroys the middle class. Don’t try to tax the rich because when you do it always falls to the middle class.

The first step is higher minimum which sets the floor for a basic living standard. 2nd you set top marginal rate at 70% or higher to set the ceiling. I personally think with with the level of inequality now we need mid to high 90%. Then give really support to worker organizing.

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm pretty sure we figured that out sometime ago. It's Hard Work, Initiative and Perseverance..

The problem is all of the VP, assistant VP, CEO, COO. They are asking an unreasonable amount capital from a hospital, university, etc. We need to bring their incomes back into reality and pay the people who actually do the work.

Earning $50/hr isn't a sexy platform this cycle. Some creativity is required to stand out. Telling us why we are already owed $50/hr plus interest, for life? Now you'll get some Twitterverse attention.

This guy is literally what would happen if a loaf of Iron Kids white bread came to life.
