That may be.
But you miss my point.
The point that the federal Government not raising the minimum wage hasn't stopped states from doing so. Meaning this is the liberals equivalent of the recent votes for flag burning or gay marriage. It won't pass, they can claim Republicans are mean, cruel and heartless to their constituents but the Feds involvement has already been circumvented by many states.
There is absolutely no reason for this legislation to come up under the circumstances, other then liberals wanting to pander to their base.
You missed my point. I said it doesn't matter what group of thugs does it. Fed. , state, private.
