She's pissed off California has a decent minimum wage and there are robust UE insurance and health care systems she has to pay into.

These people are so out of touch, they think the $16.50 minimum wage in CA is somehow a lot because they remember working at an Ice Cream shop in the 80s or 90s and making $4.00 an hour.
