Too many citizens in the United States live in poverty (are poor). Citizens have been complaining about the difference between the amount of rich people and poor people and finally the state representatives and senators are starting to listen. In order to fix this problem, some members of Congress have raised the minimum wage in the state they represent, but people are still complaining. Congress comes together and decides to pass a new law. It that says the minimum amount of money a worker can make is increased to $15 an hour.
