The headline that Bernie Sanders gave this story when he featured it on his web site is I am a cashier at the US Capitol. I earn so little that I work two jobs.

The Guardian that has published the full story, uses the headline I work at the US Capitol and KFC. Colonel Sanders pays me more than Uncle Sam by

This is the story that candidates like John Ellis Bush don’t seem to have a way of comprehending. Not only would a living wage have saved this woman’s baby by allowing her to have to work only a single job, it would also open up her second job to another worker who needs it.

Why is it so hard for some people to understand how important raising the minimum wage is to the health of our economy and to our people?
