Firebrand Senator and potential 2020 hopeful Kamala Harris urged all Americans to help spread the wealth this week; calling on US taxpayers to subsidize California’s outrageous rent prices for minimum-wage workers.
Harris touted her “Rent Relief Act” on social media over the weekend, saying American workers earning $11 an hour would need to work “two jobs” to cover the average rental rate of $1,300 for one-bedroom apartment.
“In CA, rent for a typical one bedroom apartment at market rate is over $1,300. If you’re earning minimum wage in CA, which is $11, you would need to work at least two jobs to afford that apartment without being stretched to the limit. The Rent Relief Act would ease that burden,” she tweeted.
The Rent Relief Act would use massive government subsidies to help distribute significant tax rebates to individuals whose living costs account for over 30% of their income.
