"It is immoral that millions of workers earning the minimum wage have not gotten a raise in nine years..."

You are not supposed to stay a minimum wage worker... MOVE UP IN LIFE!

I decided to look back 10 years for the unemployment rate in 7/96. It was 5.5.

The national average mortgage rate in April of 1996 was 8.18.

As for the minimum wage crap, the democrats proved that they'd rather stick it to the rich than "help the poor." Call it a Republican trick if you want, the dems fell for it. Idiots.

You beat me to it.

This is part of the base of the Democrat Party -- the uninspired, the unmotivated, the unskilled, the uncreative, the thoroughly dependent.
