Reply #10: Even as the dollar loses its value, we have not had an increase

in the federal minimum wage since 1997!

Washington state just raised its minimum wage to a whopping $7.35 an hour. Wow - time to go out and buy that Hummer.

Some states, Ohio and Kansas, have min wage laws below the federal. Some states have no minimum wage requirement. Why is that allowed?

We see tax break after tax break for businesses, yet people are losing access to healthcare, college is becoming a pipe dream for more and more, our votes don't count, and we go to war to bring this same system to other poor souls.

Sometimes I really can't understand why we don't revolt.
