It was my understanding that the GOP offered a one dollar increase and the RATS were not interested. That only shows that they are not really serious about raising the minimum wage. Every other thing the RATS go after they do so incrementally, why reject the $1.00 raise offered by GOP if they really care about the poor suffering masses?
