No, the best counter move would be to pass an increase in the minimum wage to $75. per hour and send it to the Senate. They would never take up the bill and the Republicans can turn the Democrats into the party that hates the poor!

$25 per hour is around $50,000 per year. That would be an easy counter-offer to make the libs gulp deeply.

Perhaps tie the minimum wage to the average prevailing union wage would be better.
