Now we have the cruddittes, who by chance have a number of criminal court cases pending, framing the discussion of what is and isn't law-abiding and decent. A foundering political party showing one and all that if minimum wage was such an important issue they would have addressed it years ago, tying the basic minimum wage to the 2 and 3% annual wages our elected officials regularily vote for and give themselves.
