Martin Sheen: ‘Who Could Argue With $10 An Hour?’

Actor Martin Sheen spoke at a Chicago church with Governor Pat Quinn.

“I’ve been an actor all my life, that’s what I do for a living,” said Sheen, who portrayed President Josiah Bartlet on TV’s “The West Wing.” “But activism is what I do to stay alive and this is a reflection of my activism. This is far less a political issue than a moral one.”

Sheen and Quinn appeared at the Rally To Raise State Minimum Wage. For months, Quinn’s goal has been to raise the state’s minimum wage to $10 an hour from the current $8.25.

“Who could argue with $10 an hour?” Sheen said. “The people who oppose it should try to live on that in today’s market. We know it’s not possible.”
