Our senators here in NH were weak and voted no. I bet if @PaulHodes had been in the Senate he would've voted yes.

Take a look at our Military budget AND the practice of having to use it before next year's funding if you want the same or more than last year. If we had 1/10th of that budget we'd have a whole new world

Is it really just super rich people who are preventing the minimum wage from being raised? Or is it disproportionate corporate influence over the entire political process?

I think u know the answer......
