These are the types of values we should expect and embrance in our elected leaders.

Senate Democrats say they are prepared to block pay raises for members of Congress, until the minimum wage is increased.

Of course as I've already discussed here on the blog, last week the Republicans showed us who they really are, and who they are for.  They blocked an increase of the minimum wage, and lowered the estate tax for the richest of the rich in our country.

And Democrats say they are going to block pay raises for themselves and other members of Congress, until the minimum wage is increased.

The last time the minimum wage was increased, was almost 10 years ago.
