What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

Democrats' Minimum Wage election gimmick

In five years fifteen dollars will be less than $7.25 in actual purchasing power.


Let these politicians live on the miserly Minimum Wage they expect us to live on.


These Democrats are real brave, though, knowing this will never pass.


It’s all part of the election gimmickry...

The Minimum Wage should be legislatively tied to the actual cost-of-living and re-calculated quarterly.
