2. Why aren't more Democratic leaders doing this?

We need more thinkers who want problems solved rather than finding ways to cope with them.

One good example is DWS's support of payday lenders "because poor people need them". How sad is that? I'd rather see Democratic leaders solve this problem not by appeasing the loan shark business but by raising the minimum wage to a living wage, $15.00.
