Simple justice

Now here's an idea that makes sense:

Productivity's up. Profits are up. But people's wages are not up.

I have introduced legislation that would tie the minimum wage to congressional salaries.

No more increases for Congress until we raise the minimum wage.

~~ Hillary Clinton

The problem with this congress is that they have no shame. I would be ashamed to vote myself a raise when the poorest among us can't support themselves on the minimum wage.
