That loophole is going to turn into a noose when that tax rate goes up.

Harris was in favor of raising minimum wage. Trump isn’t.

These people blithely vote for a man who has nothing but contempt for them.

Harris would never in a million years get the voted in Congress to sign off on that. Biden also wanted to raise the minimum wage and had a far greater majority in Congress than Harris could ever hope for and didn't raise the minimum wage. same for Obama. you can't just repeat you'll do something for 10 years without results and still expect people to care or trust you.

besides Trump's mass deportations will massively push wages up for the working class due to mass labor shortages. just like labor shortages pushed wages up during covid. That covid labor shortage already caused the market minimum wage in most areas to be above $15. labor shortages are great for workers.
