The minimum has been an unlivable $7.25 an hour under three presidents. Today’s wage is worth less than at any point since 1956

Under federal law, you can work 2 full time jobs, 80 hours a week, and still not make $120/day ($120 = 8 hrs x $15/hr). $15/hr isn't insane, it's not even bare minimum anymore.
