America always prides itself on being a generous country. Americans are always willing to to do their best when people around the world need help. We're the first with supplies and manpower when disasters of all severity and variety come to foreign lands. Well, I have some news for you. When it comes to helping our own people? Not so much. The "debate" over raising the minimum wage has taken on a peculiarly nasty tone of late and Republicans, in particular seem to think that people should kind of appreciate working for starvation wages in this richest of nations. Maybe its time to reduce the Congressional pay down to minimum wage and see how the Representatives and Senators feel about the issue then?
