16. If it wasn't for Clinton and Dems it would STILL be around $3.65 per hr

When the HELL are working class people going to wake the fuck up?!?! It doesn't take a genius to see that when Republicans are in power YEARS and DECADES roll by with NO MW increase. Of course they ALWAYS trot out the "that would be inflationary" line of BS when ever a MW increase comes up. Then they get back to more important business--voting THEMSELVES a big ASS raise.

Just to be on par with gas price increases MW would need to be in the $12-15.00 per hour range. Factor in all other cost of living increases in the last 30 years and it would be much higher.
