I'm not the person you're replying to, but though I agree that raising the minimum wage would be helpful, plenty of people are working overtime as is, even if they make more than 15/hr just to make ends meet. Plenty of people are working overtime for 20-30/hr. Would their wages go up if minimum wage went up? Maybe, but likely not and there's certainly no guarantee. Plus, several states already have 15 as the minimum so it wouldn't really matter to them.

I'm a dem voter, and obviously there are much better ways to help people than tax free overtime, but I understand why that would be appealing.

it's been long enough that minimum wage should be $25/hr anyways
