2. And pay 18 cents more for pizza!!!!!!

Hell YES!!!

[Yavin4]

10. Actually, that's not quite right

If people have more money to spend on pizza, then there will be more competition to sell pizzas which would lower the price.

3. How do you plan to make this happen?

4. Raise the minimum wage. nt

5. This would be a start, raising taxes after $1 m would help but not with the republicans in control.

We have to get the majority back and the presidency also. Now this would be a good goal.

[TBF]

6. We have the presidency.

I think we can do more than hope & pray for more neo-lib policies. They may be helping the banks but they are killing the rest of us.

7. There will be an election in 2016, we may or may not have the presidency in 2016.

Tax reform is supposed to come from Congress and on to the president, do you think the Republicans are going to reform the tax code to place higher taxes on the rich?

8. That doesn't mean we don't fight

on the ground. We had a president elected in 2008 with a majority of Congress dem and I didn't see a minimum wage increase - I saw a bail-out for the bankers.

For me the most important thing is organizing into unions AGAIN because breaking them down has only hurt us. And by "us" I mean workers. The heart and soul of this party. Or at least they used to be ...

11. Raise the min. wage. Raise the pay of federal workers.

Raise the pay of folks in the military. That would force private corporations to raise the pay for every one.

[TBF]

9. And it is very telling that there

are 2 recs on this post. It is not the priority of this party to care about workers anymore.

12. Excellent idea

Instead of trashing teh minimum wage (as the right wants), it should be tripled.
