I can sympathize. My point was that, while blocking increases in the
federal minimum wage, the same legislative body voted themselves a
number of raises that amounted to more than double the annual wage of
minimum wage workers, and of course the raises were on top of the
hefty salaries they were already making.



Oh, I got your point. I was just expounding on it from the point of view
of someone who makes a lot more than minimum wage (or what one wouild
receive on AFDC), but is still basically just getting by.
