Congress Takes a Dump on American Workers

Here’s an ugly fact for you: Congress has given itself raises of over $30,000 in the past nine years while American workers’ minimum wage has been locked at an inhuman $5.15! Congress gave itself more in raises than minimum wage earners make all year working 40 hours per week!

The minimum wage needs to be raised by $2 just to keep up with inflation. After all, we're all going to be working for WAL-MART, aren't we? It's obscene how Congress members keep up with inflation on THEIR WAGES…and give the richest 1% more and more GIANT tax breaks…without lifting a finger to cut working Americans an even break.

Will we eventually see a class REVOLUTION?
