Coupon-Cutting Congresswoman Stumps Big Bank CEO | The Last Word | MSNBC

She has my vote for whatever office she wants to run for!
I agree with u here!
Definitely!!!!
Me too!!!
SERIOUSLY WHAT EVER she runs for!!!
Like... Veep?! 😃😃🤞
I like her.
She does not back down.
This is the new kind of democrat we need.
Vera Smith Yes yes yes!!!
And yes.
Not really. The real issue is the 1600.00 a month rent in CA. In most states she could buy a 200,000 3000sqr ft house w her mortage being less than 1600.00.
Is the new kind of POLITICIAN we need, not Democrat or Con
I like him for the same reason. She can take her populist nonsense and stuff it.
It is chilling to see a congresswoman from a nearby town to mine, standing up to these CEOs and showing them what we are living through. I worked in a minimum wage job from 2017 until this past January, and it was a struggle. I lived with my parents until April, and I was 26 in May. It’s a damned shame what these CEO’s make.
get some needed skills!
It's 3 years later and she's still a spitfire and holding people accountable; the woman is amazing. Makes me wish she represented my state. Go, Katie!
She's doing her job, advocating for her constituents!
Exactly. Not one of the Chase lobbyists was expecting this. Not at all. Jamie Dimon should have KNOWN the answer.
I would recommend anyone out there employed at or banking with Chase please watch this and start asking questions about real-life situations like that brought up by Ms. Porter.
Perfect Republican

It was pleasing to watch.
And she will still lose
The textbook she is holding up...she wrote it! She knows her subject very well. Her first textbook taught in colleges wrote with Elizabeth Warren and I belive 3 others. She was a law professor.
We need more like her at every level of elected government! City, county, state and federal.
This is a shining example as to why term limits to congress is so important. We need people in congress who are actually in touch with reality. There are members of congress who have been in office for so long, made so much money, and haven't a clue about the struggles we face every day, Term limits will change all that.
Or like in my state of South Carolina they are all families of privilege most of the time. We called them the good old boys network system people that try to keep people down in them up.
Literally!!!!
O.K., so you elect a competent person, they get a lot done, and then __?__ gets elected in their place? Better? Worse? There already are term limits for those serving their constituents poorly; they're called elections!
@@snowygirl131 The problem lies in the fact that people get out of touch with reality after they've been in congress for so long. Lobbyists and special interest groups bribe them with so much money, they become blind to the needs of the people they're supposed to represent. Yes, there are elections, but when lobbyists get someone in their pocket, they want to keep them there, so unlimited amounts of money go into reelection campaigns. The saying holds true: Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is why there's term limits on the presidency. There should also be term limits for congress. That way, nobody gains excessive power.
It's not just the they're in touch with reality, but we need new ideas, because we deal with new problems with the same old ideas. Most times that just doesn't work.
I wish ALL public officials were like Congresswomen Katie Porter, serving the people instead of fattening their own pockets
We need 434 more people like Katie Porter in Congress!!! She is my Hero! President in 2024??
I thought the same 🇺🇸
It's time for change. Nominate and be heard:facebook.com/groups/peoplespresidentialnominee
@Emcstea No my friend, President is elected every 4 years. Biden in 2020 and Porter in 2024
Katie keep up the great work..
Nope. Too soon. Plus her kids...look for her around 2028 or 2032. Plus by then she'll have a record that will hopefully bolster her chances of being nominated.
I just love how the news reporter could not stop grinning and clearly admires Katie Porter. Go lady! you are incredible!
I admire her and I live in England
I love Lawrence O’Donnell and where his head is often at on the show. He features Katie Porter every chance he gets.
LOVE this woman. How often can someone make a CEO speechless. She literally had him by the balls, and could have made it worse for him, but she moved on. Smart woman.
Speechless isn't be same as dumbfounded. By his body language, he indicates his low-level assessment of her/his grasp of reality. Has your Katie actually had a real job? Didn't think so.
@@Mister8224 Had a real job? Wtf do you honestly do?

I love this woman. She's the real mama bear.
$400/mo for the car is completely unrealistic
the dude I don’t know if you live in Southern California, but it really isn’t that unrealistic
@@jordancuriel4531 i drive 50miles a day in kansas. Its not that expensive for my 2004 ranger that makes 15mpg
the dude gas is much cheaper in Kansas, car payments are much cheaper in Kansas, and when there has to be repairs done here in California, the tax is much more than what it might be in Kansas
@@jordancuriel4531 kansas property taxes rival that of california. Alot of people dont believe in car payments around here. There are no car inspections here, so if the check engine light annoys you just remove the light . You could also put a piece of black electrical tape over the light.
We need more people like her in government/public service positions. That is how you hold people accountable!
No, this is how you ruin an economy!
This woman is a danger to her country, she is ignorant, self-important, and a tiny bit clever.
Ignorance must be bliss.
@@edphillips2998 What exact supermen set of skills does that CEO Jamie Dimon has that he is paid $31 million? It's only because he is prepared to cut on workers' benefits packages and to keep overall workforce costs low...bottom line or profits are the only measure of success, which is crazy; we get non-functional, sick society, with extremely rich people, and with families strugling to survive; case in point is that 75% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and that 40% of Americans can't cover $400 surprise expense (like go to a doctor or fix a car). People get depressed, sick, turn to drugs and alcohol, or have to work 2 or 3 jobs just to survive from paycheck to paycheck. And with student loans, it is getting harder and harder... That is the reason why Bernie Sanders will be next president.
@@edphillips2998 And you, you ignorant moron don't know what you're talking about.Katie Porter has forgotten more than you'll ever know.
What exactly is she holding him accountable of?
I love you Katie. Keep doing what you're doing. You are a true champion for the working class. God bless you. You are fighting to hold on to the integrity of the America that so many have died to protect.
Thank you Katie Porter for actually representing "us" the average American.
@MrBavarian5150 She represents an incredibly large amount of the American population. You'd have to be delusional to refuse to see that most Americans aren't paid fairly and that most of them suffer because of it.
@MrBavarian5150 i hope you one day know poverty! Then when the tables are turned will you feel that way! You sound heartless we all deserve food, heath care, and homes! Soooo yeah i hope one day you feel some empathy but it's impossible for sociopaths!!
@MrBavarian5150 your answer makes more sense.
@MrBavarian515. Lmfao
You get nothing but the best from her presidents can learn an awful lot from her
His answer could more accurately be depicted as “I don’t care”.
I think you're wrong. He definitely cared that he was being embarrassed publicly.
@Prabhat shrestha Caring about Who makes You Your Money should be!
@Prabhat shrestha No that is his responsibility as a human being.
It takes bean counters to keep the one's at the top at 31 million they are not worried about the ditch digger in any way
When you are at the top like that you don't care about small change...or poor folks
Love Ms Katie Porter. We really need more like her in Congress.. whether Rep or Dem.. it's a matter of what is MORALLY right as well as mathematically accurate. Mr Diamond could perhaps take a million dollars a year less and give all his workers a better wage. No one needs 31 million dollars a year to live on. And he can't take it with him when he dies...but he CAN leave a legacy of families that have been able to live a better life.
He can live off of 1 mil for all I care.
That's the problem. You say you need more people like her in Congress yet evetytime you can vote, you vote people who don't care about you. So who is the real problem here?
Katie Porter is a national treasure, thank you for being one glimmer of hope in a dire political climate.
She didn't even mention medical insurance, copays, deductibles, auto insurance, let alone other expenses. His employee is definitely not paid a living wage.
She did in the next few sentences... See the full interview.
@@agathacrane1297 do you have it please?
Good answer. I don't think he cares he has to think about it.
Moving out of California will save at least $1000/month in rent for an apartment, not a bedroom and $80/month in gasoline. Seriously California is for those that are suckers for paying waaay too much. For instance the LA Times covered a story where LA county paid $700,000 for a 7,000 sqft porch for the homeless. That is $100 per sqft, or the same cost per sqft as a house built in a red state.
@@michaeldietz7038 main problem is that by moving to a way cheaper city also that 16.50$/h is going to drop in a very appropriate way to keep that same person is a very similar negative balance. the problem isnt that in that specific town/city workers/employees arent payed enough. the problem is that the system works perfectly to keep you enslaved where u are.
the so much praised financial mobility of the US (talked by both republicans and almost most democrats) is just a big lie... they always refer to it as a thing, yet they never have to answer a singe question on it or explain how that mobility actually works or where it can be found.
I love her. We need 20 more Katie porters. Smart gal.
They should ALL BE KATIE!!!
gal?
We just need to remove all of the others (minus Bernie Sanders and a few other representatives) and replace them with Katie Porters.
Hopefully she would agree to cloning!!, or our other officials will learn to do their jobs.
She knows this because as a single mother she had to learn how to make it on a limited salary. All of us should have been taught by example from our parents. This should be common knowledge.
We need more representatives like Katie on both sides of the aisle. She pulls no punches and I deeply respect her. She has a great sensibility.
Wow. It’s so good to see a congresswoman taking this on with companies like that.
It’s very gracious to say that Jamie Diamond “couldn’t find it.” He didn’t want to find the answer of paying more. That’s the cruelty.
I would love to see her run for President, she is a breath of fresh air. She’s relatable.
What about Bernie Sanders? He is basically for the same things
I'm not sure what Bernie Sanders says, but if he is like this woman, then I don't see what's wrong with getting him president.
It's best to make your own research on what the presidential candidates offer and their 'promises' for the people of the country, rather than hearing it from other peoples mouths or just going with what the most common media says. That way you can build your opinion on the candidates without any bias in the way, not by going to popular news sites (ngl the few times I've seen Fox News I felt my IQ level drop, until I changed the channel was it that it went back to normal) but actually digging around, reading from varied (but credible) sources
Like watching every candidates discussions, not just the ones with all of them in bulk but just them alone, interviews, and so on
Sorry to say this, but it is easy for the average American to surpass the intellectual level of the present occupant in the W.H. Katie is way over qualified in many ways.
A real world congresswoman, who understands the reality in which we live should be on the ballot box in November!
And the scary part is that the $16.50 hour job is DOUBLE the minimum wage. Now think about that mother of one surviving on even less.
Now wait for someone to tell you that if you want better pay, you should look for a better job. Even though many of the lowest paying jobs are the ones that are necessary to keep companies in the black.
That mother should have thought about leeping her legs closed and getting grades and diplomas etc so she can get a better paying job then ha e a child and not complain about struggling zzzzzz square humans
YouTriggered _ even a single person with no kids can’t live on most wages. But? Keep HER legs crossed? What about the father? And I’ve got news for you, I’m working on my third college degree and still can’t make a wage that I am worth. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Get educated, sweetheart.
16.50 is 5 dollars more than min wage in DC
Laurel minimum wage in Michigan is $9.25 an hour. Florida is $8.25.... 😕
Katie is a beast!! Love her focus on what really matters
She is morbidly obese. So 'beast' is true, in a way
@@seventhcompactor1505 you miserable 'thing'.
May God bless you, Miss Porter. It's great to know there are still good people out there.
He knew the answer, he just couldn't bring himself to say "give her a raise" because he didn't want to lose a penny of his bonus money.
Like Gollum and his precious.
@jeff erlsten You're joking, right? You think every mom who is single had kids out of wedlock?
@jeff erlsten Appalling response
jeff erlsten troll you have no footing to stand on. What are her bad life choices? Working at his bank?
Jeff Epstein is a Troll. You already assumed too much. You lose the right to look intelligent
“I don’t know. I’d have to think about that.” That’s worth a salary of $31,000,000?
more like stealing everything for himself.
"How about taking some time to think about it right now and answer my question"?
Yah, and a 10% put cut to his salary could afford about 350 to 400 of those employees to get that extra money. It's crazy that these big beautiful pay checks ceos make are not made with the bottom wage in mind.
The reason they get paid that much is to not react... That literally their job
@@joshlanders 3.1MM across the low level employees of the bank would mean each employee gets $24 per year.
I think Katie Porter is the Best! She is what Congress people should be about! So much respect for her!
Rep Porter should work on reducing taxes and cost of living in her state.
When a rich man falls on hard times he loses one summer home, a yacht or a extra servant / house cleaner. when a regular Joe falls he lose the roof over his head and gains an overpass as a roof over his head.
when joe falls on hard times it's usually because of rich men and rich men get even richer.
A lot of people are really "getting getting good" at not knowing which brings up education!
Be helpfull suggests what? A present?
Sad but it's the truth..most Americans are 2 paychecks from homeless...

LOVING it. These ladies are such a breath of fresh air!!
They are Jew hating socialists, they are jokes.
Should employees get paid livable wages...? YES. but I don't agree with putting the CEO on the spotlight and questioning him for the choices and life decisions of his employees. Where is the father? Why is she a single mother?
Marvel Universe maybe she made bad decisions in high school, without anyone who had taught her the real consequences of those decisions. Maybe she had a husband, but he died in a car crash.
....nothing will change. It never does.
Adore Katie Porter. This was one of the biggest take downs in corporate history.
Luv this lady. FEARLESS. EDUCATED. INTELLIGENT. AND IM SURE WITH A HEART OF GOLD FOR THOSE DESERVING. ❤️
She uses perfectly reasonable numbers and statistics to help bring this overpaid big wig back down to how normal people have to work in the world. Beautifully done!
It didn't bring him back down to Earth, mate. I guarantee that he stopped listening, you can actually see the point he switches his brain off and resorts to 'id have to think about it' as his default answer.
There is one way for these rich people to realise how lucky they are, the movie Changing Places with Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy, that situation is something that I think all multi millionaires that pay their employees a substandard wage should have to experience.
1.6k is definitely not reasonable. move. away. from. there. thats the solution.
@@marshmallowmann20 how can you move when you can’t pay to have a new place to live?

@@msreen269, not true. Let her run and we will see.
She just explained why all these people are HOMELESS
No, she explained why people cannot afford to live in California.
She lives and works in one of more expensive cities of Orange county. What she needs to do is move to a cheaper place or get a roommate. And that's not even favoring in where is the father?
@@lepke1979 For all we know, dead, missing, etc. Even then you're not guaranteed to find a cheaper place or find a suitable roommate. Because sidenote, once you grab a bad roommate, you're going to have a hard time kicking them out.
@@lepke1979 I don' think there are any inexpensive places to live in California anymore. One of the problems is that a place like say San Francisco with well paying jobs is so expensive to live in, that the people who work there move to cheaper cities and thus raise the rents there too. This prices out people with more modest incomes in the area. Even Sacramento, a pretty sleepy government town has an average apartment rental price of $1580.00 a month and two hours away commuting to San Francisco. San Francisco's average rent per month is $3683.00 per month. That means to just pay rent you must earn at least 23 dollars per hour, assuming a 40 hour work week, no unpaid time off and no taxes.
Jeff Gedgaud...yeah one paycheck away from being homeless 😭
Love Katie Porter ,she is so good at grilling the thief’s from the banks ,such inequality in the country is just unbelievable !
There is NO available answer to someone who is completely unwilling to allow the answer to be voiced.
As far as I'm concerned this woman is a rockstar, I wish more members of Congress had her brains and guts

Everyone was talking about their income and when it was my turn I told them I bring home $500k. That $500K is more than enough for me.” One CEO said “ but you would make more if you paid your employees less. And he said “but if I do that then my employees will be unhappy.”
All of them stopped and stared at him and he said
“it was disheartening because they didn’t understand.”
Oh they understood. They just thought he was stupid.

A $5 pay increase to their wage, if you watched the entire video and didn’t stop at the $500 extra a month, wouldn’t be so detrimental. Why does a CEO need to have 31 million, while his base employees are literally living in debt, hardly able to make ends meet? It makes no sense. Yes of course he should make more than his employees! But to make 31 million more? That’s quite excessive, and is clearly not about taking care of its employees.

@@youtubehatesfreedom3679 "This channel has no content ..."
This question is not smart. Because a salary is paid for the role. Not based on the personal circumstances of the person who does that job. What if the person had 6 children to feed single-handedly? In that case, is the company responsible to pay 100000 or so? No, that's where government should step in. If 30000 is the salary paid for the role there can be a lot who would love to get that job for that salary. Probably they are single / living with parents or a spouse of someone who earns a higher salary. If someone gets a salary that is not enough to meet ends then there should be a government program to help them.
@@prasadtissera6420 Why should the government help when the bank should pay a decent living age and especially where the Boss makes millions a year while his workers struggle. It is NOT about the government stepping in AS DON'T HAVE 6 KIDS IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD THEM and if you do, expect to have the taken off you and put up for adoption as WHY SHOULD WE PAY FOR YOUR KIDS ? If the bank relies on single people living at home to survive on their wages then that is appalling - dreadful - as how else is anyone else going to survive..... The bank makes billions - so pay your staff a living wage and do NOT expect the government to make up any short fAll, THIS IS A BUSINESS....

This is what proper representation of your people looks like. Someone clone Ms Porter and send two to each state in the USA to replace the senators we now have but don't deserve.
@@alicelane5263 Completely agree. Why Porter is effective is that she is new to office (a freshman); hence, still connected to the people and not jaded or influenced after being in Congress for 20 years. This is why I support term limits. Not everyone stays true after given access to power and influence. Yes, we can reelect people as a check on that, but that limits fresh ideas and energy from entering like Porter.
WE; We need to be more like Katie Porter. Why find someone else when WE should step up?
Unfortunately, I only have just so many hours with these two hands of mine. The best I can do is volunteer with the Registrar of Voters as often as I can.
We need to vote for all the Katie Porter s out there. Stop electing dumbasses.
💪👊✌
We need more younger and fresh open minds in congress!
Now THAT I can get behind...

But she and Lawrence are not thinking this through. To do the bare minimum which would still not solve the problem, it would cost the bank almost $1.3 billion per year not considering FICA Match or any other benefit increases.
@@randylarson7856 that's the banks problem. They spend billions on lobbyists. How about instead of spending money on making sure they don't have to pay their employees, they just pay their employees?
This is why as a nation we need a healthy 2 party system. I'm a conservative and love her. I'm a capitalist but believe we need balance. It's about checks & balances. We need people like her to cause financial leaders to rethink the system.
Said it before, I say it again, I love that lady ❤️
What is even sadder than his $31 million dollar salary is that he pays lobbyists millions, instead of directing that money towards the salaries of his employees. Just a out of touch, crappy human being.
He's not alone! That's the way EVERY LG Corporation "plays their game"...Yeah, it's really sad...
it would be CHEAPER in the long run to pay your employees more, that way you wouldn't have to pay these lobbysits
"human" ? he sounds like a regular demon in a purgatory planet .
God Bless You American.
His''I don't know'' translates as ''I don't care''
Omg I love her she’s amazing! Her and AOC are rocking the boat!
She just makes me smile... and think even more than I do! POTUS Porter!!
The answer is simple. She needs to get a new job.
I grew up in Irvine. It's an expensive city to live in. No one could live there on $16.50/hour. The citizens picked a GREAT representative. Go Katie!
A single, recent high school grad still living at home could live there on $16.50/hour. I'm sure Chase has some very good, non-entry level jobs in Irvine.
Question should be why she living in the most expensive city.
Minimum wage is for minimum skill. If they want to be paid more do something that's worth more.
@@imkindofabigdeal4308 why are you finding a way to defend this CRIMINAL pay rate?
@@vamppanic Because I want people to succeed. And I understand that the minimum wage is zero. The real value of your first job is skills development and networking so you can get that second, better job and so on.
If only there were more people like Miss. Katie, the world would be a far better, and more fair place to live.
Agreed. I support tax dollars being used to fund campaigns. It gives more people a chance to be elected who otherwise would not have one.
Katie is the best
yeah right
@@dcaustx so glad you cant make that idiotic and ignorant decision
America would be a far better place to live. All other first world, developed nations have left us in their dust.
I'm a republican, but I love this woman! Common sense shouldn't have a political party!
Katie Porter for senate!!!
Her house seat is in a vulnerable republican area
Not investing in his own employee's, is how he gets 31 Million a year.
Dan Price, CEO of Gravity Payments reduced his salary to $70,000 so that he could pay all of his employees that as a base salary and it hasn't hurt his business at all. If he can do it, others can.
And how much profit are Chase Morgan making?
@@darkopz for one, not all chase employees are at starting lvl making minimum wage. Only about 22k. If you seriously think that every single employee of chase makes minimum wage you are kidding yourself. What Rep. Porter is looking to help the bottom rung of a huge company that make billions in profits every yr.
@@darkopz The company profit, profit not revenue, is 32.5 Billion dollars a year. They can afford to pay their employees better.
@@cirrustate8674 and $16.50 isnt good pay for ENTRY LEVEL work? Thats fantastic pay i worked my way up from $8 to just accepting a new job yesterday paying $14.50, the real question is why that "single mom" has to pay $1,600/m for a one bedroom she needs to move to a better state
WE NEED MORE POLITICIANS LIKE THIS!!! PLEASE!!! 🙏🏼
He is not going to give anyone a raise except for himself
Miss porter you people should see to it that you are reelected as long as you choose to serve the people needs more representatives like you( God bless you)
His real answer: “I don’t care, I don’t have to”
@forest pandit Yeah right? Just like his salary. Such a slime.
and he kinda right
$6000 is what she needs for a no debt and no savings life. As a % of his $31,000,000.00 he would have to sacrifice .0001945% or 1 ten-thousandth and 900 hundred-thousandths of a %. He makes 14,903 dollars an hour (40hr workweek 52 weeks) so 22 minutes out of his pay for the year would let his employee live. $14,000 an hour for 21 minutes is $6666.66 and I think that's a nice bonus.
@@dleet86 it’s obscene
@@Katie2986 Before Reagan congress had 90% high marginal tax rates that kicked in when profits reached a certain obscene amount. Then, if they invested some of the obscene amount in infrastructure which they also needed, they deducted that and ended up paying 37% while making profit, paying for the roads they needed for their 16 wheelers to ship their goods and the repairs to protect the car drivers who also paid for the roads but didn't tear it up. Those jobs caused GDP growth to average 5% a year and created a middle class. Trickle down is neoliberal feudalism aka an Oligarchy. The Libertarian Anarcho-Syndicalist Theocracy model is also the L.A.S.T. model for the American Experiment. It is also the model for last 5 GOP SCOTUS justices. Libertarian, Theocrats,(religious freedom..to discriminate) and connected in the syndicate of K Street aka Geppetto's Oligarchic Disseminators or G.O.D. DYK, God is 9.1% of the US GDP, tax free.
He’s not stupid. His entire philosophy when it comes to front line workers is “the law of substitution”. He is fine with thinking this employee is easily replaceable. If you pressed him when the cameras aren’t rolling, he’d say “$16.50 is what we believe the fair market pay rate for that role. And if she is unable to make ends meet then we encourage her to either apply for a higher paying position within the bank, or pursue another career path.” I guarantee you that is exactly what he’s thinking.
That is how he thinks about replacing bank customers. I waited for two hours on the phone to speak to a representative that could not answer my question. All that happened was i was connected to being put on hold as if that was an effective way of using our time. I lived a five minute drive from the closest branch! LOL.
and he is correct.
You are right KC. If the job he's talking about requires SOME skills, but there are many people that could do the same job well & would take that wage, why the Frick would he pay ANY more? It is what America was built on. FREE ENTERPRISE. if you desire to live a better life, to make more money, acquire a skill that sets you apart, that causes an employer to pay you more, because of what you do. Or start your own business. It's been done millions of times in America. This is not rocket science. In America, hard focused work has its rewards.
That's what my boss told me.
And he would be right to think this. Her life choices is not his problem. Someone is taking the job at that rate or the job would pay more.
This needs to be brought back to light again today......3yrs later
There's nothing intelligent here.
Love this woman! She is truly representing.
I worked for chase for years, they also expect you to work 24/7, but don't forget to balance your work/life, as if it were your fault that you can't. Excellent job Congresswoman!
Well then she's making more than $29k per year...
@@jasonpatterson8091 To gross £29,000 per year you would have to work every day of the year for 7 hours per day or 9 to ten hours per day Mon - Friday to squeeze in the 49 hours per week you'd need to do !!. $11.50 per hour . Don't forget she has a child and they need as much as an adult does without the ability to earn !!
Thats the part the bothers me the most. That expectation to spend your life at work. On the other hand, if your child becomes a delinquent, you will be told how neglecting you are as a parent, by the same people that are telling you to spend your life at work if you want to make a living.
Really? 24/7? The latest you people stay is 6 pm
@@dnl4295 get another job that will work with your schedule. But you'll also probably be making less money unless you find a better one
Here's a real world math problem:
A man earns $31,000,000 annually which breaks down to $14,903.85 per hour based on a 40 hour work week. He hires a female employee for $16.50 per hour which is $34,320 annually. (Skip taxes for simplicity.)
Q: How can she live off of this wage?
A: He doesn't care because in the time it took to say, "I don't know", he made half her annual salary.
A 16.50 hour job is for someone who is just entering the work force or who is single and has a roommate. When I realized I had to support myself in life I was very young probably below reproductive age my parents taught me this so I decided I would not get a woman pregnant primarily cause I knew I could not afford it. If I had been a woman I would have decided that I would not get pregnant cause I couldn't afford it. Currently I go to the bank each week and take out $100.00 a week I spend that on food, gas, and incidentals - tooth paste - toilet paper - medicine stuff I buy but not each week inexpensive stuff - I think some of her figures are to high such as food cost $ 400 a month - her budget is tight but the employer should not have to pay a person according to what their budget is they should rather have to find out that people will not work for that little amount of money but oh wait people will work for that amount and they are not American citizens and many willfully let them come into the country and then they work for that little amount and the employer continues to pay this little amount for that position.
@@jswarpaint6215 good for you. Imagine someone made a mistake or an accident happened. Now they have a child. Imagine someone has dietary restrictions, or their child does. $400 a month for food is $50 a week for the mother and child individually ~$2.3 a meal. Imagine she has more bills to pay like medical, car payments, student loans, child care, etc. We all know entry level jobs should be for the people you're describing, with a clear path upwards. The issue is these folks in sticky situations live under the poverty line and are stuck at this entry position. While a CEO nets 30 million...it's unsustainable and stifles the economy.
Just think about it this way. In 3 hours, he would have paid her $44,711.55. A pay rise and great help for her, and nothing to him. (You might also consider he hires a man...#mentoo).
@@davidedwards3361 what does #mentoo mean? Never heard that one before?
They can't. The employee would have to go into financial slavery, which I think is what they want.
That man said the quiet part out loud, when he said he'd have to call her and see what we could do. They only want to help the people they want to help. Not everyone.
Ms. Porter, how very concerning. Shocking that banks can be so heartless. Raise staff pay!
This lady is going places look out for her in the future.
Yawn.................
Unfortunately, no. She'll be squish, squashed by big money.
Maxine Waters took her off the house financial services committee. Democrats are spineless.
As long as we have more people like her in Congress America will be on the right track
Trouble is, I think awesome people like her are the exception, not the rule
JHeints - chill out, the point was still very apparent
@JHeints - seriously? Where? I'll switch Appartments right away!
I want to point out a couple of things:
1) the wage disparity is growing and untenable
2) the congresswoman makes a minimum of $174,000.
3) If she's working the hours I'd expect a congresswoman to spend working, she should have no time for coupon-cutting.
174 is not a lot. Especially in Washington. For a family and constituent representative. Indeed. Coupon cutting seems to be very wasteful use of time and is probably more of branding herself.
he is well aware of the problem but won't change the,attitude that workers are expendable.
Nobody, NOBODY is worth $31,000,000 per year and he certainly is not!!
Would that also apply to sports super heroes?
I would say that everyone is worth 31 million a year but no one needs 31 million a year.

Katie Porter! You're awesome!! This single mother teacher says: THANK YOU!!
I wish people would stop using the term single mother to describe divorced mothers. A single mother is single. Never married and she SINGLE handley manages her kid/s. What you do when you use the term "single mom" and you are divorced, is you minimize a real single mother.
@@laurel1865 bought my house, single handedly...got my BS, my MA, my license, my doc - single handedly...saving college tuition for my child, single handedly....am divorced, BUT NEVER married my child's father, NOR did her father ever support me...is that enough for me to call myself a single mother and not demean your title?
@@laurel1865 It is a matter of perspective. The circumstance of a woman. If she is single or whether she was married and now divorce if she is taking care of a child or two on her own and have no other support system but working then she is single be she married or not. It's a matter of perspective if you don't think of yourself as a single mom that way so be it but the point is if you are raising a child or two on your own and no other health and making less than the cost of living you are a,single woman.
Don't get hung up on the "single" issue. If she's a woman & making such-and-such how does she survive? Great question because I've been working for the City for 15 years & don't make $16/hr! Guess I'm just glad I'm not in California?? How do I survive? ...I never see a doctor, take a class, raise my hand...soon I'll be dead & safe!
Liz Hicks I wonder who puts you in that situation in the first place? Not Jaime Diamond nor Donald Trump!
I'll have to pay attention to this lady. She is the kind of politician we need!
Logically speaking if he gives $500 more to every entry level employee and lets say theres 20,000 employees at that pay rate he’d be paying 11M more a month in employee wages
He knew the answer, he just wasn't about to suggest pay raises.
Exactly!
So what if she gets her raise and decides to have another kid. How does this line of thinking ever end
