[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

In my opinion, agreeing or disagreeing with a minimum wage increase is not the point. In view of the exhorbitant salaries claimed by all of Congress, how can they have the nerve to tell Working People what they should or should not be paid. If they are really so concerned about the everyday Janice & Joe, they should clean up their own house before attempting to straighten up ours...

[Hendrix]

That is the point. Government should not be in the business of telling anyone what they should or should not be getting paid in the private sector. That is not the function of government. Congress is working for the government, and thus their salary should be set by the government. See the distinction?
