Millionaires Unite to Defeat Minimum Wage

WASHINGTON - A broad-based coalition of millionaires converged on Washington today to defeat a bill that would have increased the minimum wage for American workers to $10.10 an hour. Leaving their mansions and yachts behind, the millionaires were motivated by what they saw as an existential threat to the country, said Mitch McConnell, a spokesman for the millionaires. "People who've tried to pin a 'do nothing' label on us are dead wrong," McConnell said. "When it comes to stopping workers from being paid more, we spring into action."
