Minimum wage issue a winner for Democrats

[ckramer]

The Economic Policy Institute estimates that 7 million workers would benefit from a hike in the federal minimum wage to $6.65 an hour, and 10.5 million more workers would benefit indirectly as wage scales moved up generally.

The federal minimum wage, incidentally, was once worth about $8 an hour in purchasing power, compared to its current paltry $5.15.
