While I don't agree entirely with raising minimum wage, I did read a good article today about it.
WIth today's inflation, minimum wage is actually lower than ever in the past couple decades... And at the same time, almost every year congressmen all pat themselves on the back and give themselves a raise... I thought they were serving the people?
Seems like a waste of money to me to raise politicians salaries past their already high 6 figure wages...
Seems a contridiction to deny bottom level workers a little more money, while giving yourself more with the tax dollars they already pay out of those wages. Just my $.02...
I'll try to find the article.
