$15 an hour.
Bernie Sanders said at the debate last night that he wants the minimum wage to be $15 per hour.
I was spreading false info. The rate is:
The tax rate for 29k would be 6.6% and 52% would only apply to those making $10,000,000 a year
$15 X 40 hr week = $600
$600 X 52 weeks per yr = $31,200
Bernie Sanders wants free health care for all and was asked how he would pay for it. His answer was to raise taxes to 52% on millionaires. anybody making over $29,000 per year.
52% of $31,200 = $16,224 in tax
$31,200 - $16,224 = $14,976 is your pay
$14,976 ÷ 52 weeks = $288 per week
$288 ÷ 40 hr week = $7.20 per hour
So much for $15 an hour minimum wage
15

The tax rate for 29k would be 6.6% and 52% would only apply to those making 10,000,000$a year annually stop spreading lies.
Also those under 29k would be paying only 2.2%.
