Tax relief and minimum wage
Mejia supports making the first $40,000 of wages free from federal taxes for people working full time, and says a person working 40 hours a week should earn at least $40,000 a year. She also calls for raising the national minimum wage to $25 an hour.
Context: The passage does not specify how the tax exemption would be implemented.
In their own words
you shouldn’t pay a dime in federal taxes on that first $40,000.
