Minimum Wage
I believe in Social Justice. If a person is willing to work, he or she shouldn't have to be poor. I strongly support passage of a living wage.
Credit Card Interest Rates
Average Americans are getting crushed, getting further in debt with credit card interest rates approaching 28%. I will work to change this predatory practice.
