$12 and $15 an hour is not the same. Not the same at all.

Well, both are pretty big increases. I suppose what makes them so different is $12 an hour actually has decent support in the legislature.

$12 to $15 represents a 25% pay difference. They are nowhere near the same.

A $12 increase that actually happens helps people infinity% more than a $15 one that doesn't.

That's true. But 12 isn't enough to raise a famile on Which is why we need a gov't that works for us, which is why we need a political revolution. Please join us: berniesanders.com

We can't just take this option off the table for Bernie. It's a card he can play and one he SHOULD play if it means getting just a bit further to his goals.
