Robert Casey actually said...

"By forcing hard working people into the safety net, politicians opposing minimum wage are saying that work should not pay."

"It is estimated that a minimum wage increase to $10.10 would add $1 billion in GDP and 3,800 new jobs to Pennsylvania's economy."

"In Pennsylvania alone, a minimum wage increase is estimated to raise the pay of over 600,000 women and lift over 127,000 workers out of poverty."

"Raising the minimum wage is a step toward reducing income and wealth inequality, which we know and Pope Francis reminds us is the root of all social ills."
