That looks interesting - I will take the time to read the whole article tonight when I get home.

On a side note - it's my understanding that the Koch brothers are not only against a minimum wage increase, but are actually against minimum wages all together. Seeing how they're dumping almost a BILLION dollars (yes..a BILLION) into the 2016 election, the conservative republicans are going to do whatever the heck these guys tell them to do - because they will want their piece of that billion bucks for their campaign. The fact that these guys have no interest in the welfare of the country or the people in it, just themselves and their money, and simply buy elections to get what THEY want done at the cost of everyone else does not seem to phase the republicans at all. Rather sickening if you ask me.

I do have a question for you and Marcia - do you think the minimum wage should be increased or not?
