So much for moral values. GOP defeats a minimum wage increase. Let's hope that the Democrats will capitalize on that pro-corporate greed vote.
I challenge all senators to live on $5.15 and raly on Medicaid for healthcare.
Minimum wage should be tied to inflation and the rate should be automatically announced each year.
NYTimes: The Senate defeated dueling proposals Monday to raise the $5.15-an-hour minimum wage -- one backed by organized labor, the other salted with pro-business provisions -- in a day of skirmishing that reflected Republican gains in last fall's elections.
