It would have to be in the same tax bracket otherwise it's useless.

 @B4CY2LQ from New York  answered…1yr1Y

Corporations would rather choke and die than give someone a livable wage, so I have very low expectations of being given a raise.

 @B4CXY5Z from California  answered…1yr1Y

Unlikely, without Unions or close relations to employers, rights as a worker to ask for a raise just lowers.

 @B4CVPCB from California  answered…1yr1Y

I do not have an employer so I'd be real surprised if I got a raise right now

 @B4CV9JF from Missouri  answered…1yr1Y

I work mimimun wage. When it raises I get a raise.

 @B4CV47C from California  answered…1yr1Y

The odds of employers giving me a raise compared to a year ago are pretty low. As technology begins to run the industry.

 @B4CSPS4 from Illinois  answered…1yr1Y

There are the same odds now compared to a year ago.

 @B4C3Q3C from South Dakota  answered…1yr1Y

Well I would feel like it wouldn't be a fair wage that people are getting.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
