Fax to Dennis Moore 1/10/07 Re Increase in Minimum Wage

Re: H.R. 2 Increase in Minimum Wage

This “good” economy isn’t good for way more people than anyone wants to admit. Business should, of course, be encouraged, but that encouragement has turned into Solid-Gold Privilege contributing to extreme in-equalities and enormous stresses in people’s lives from out-of-control im-balances in Social and Economic Justice. Unions are threatened and harassed at any and every opportunity. Health care and insurance costs, private and shared, go up for everyone. Real wages are dropping. The opportunities for non-Corporate citizens to affect their own lives are severely limited by campaign finance corruption. Let’s draw a line and establish a floor for the lower-middle-class, who need it more than the middle-class does.

Please act in support of an increase in Minimum Wage, with no other riders and amendments. I hope you help to create an opportunity for a clean vote on this essential social issue.

I look forward to seeing your thoughts on this in the media soon.

Thanks for reading this.

Sincerely,
