Associated Press: Kerry Says He Would Raise Minimum Wage

I like this. John Kerry just proposed raising the federal minimum wage to $7 an hour by 2007.

Read it here.

My favorite quote:

"If a president can go out and fight for four years to provide over a trillion in tax cuts to the wealthiest people in America, we can fight for a few months to raise the minimum wage for the poorest people in America."

Right on. I know a woman with three kids who makes minimum wage. She works TWO part-time jobs, both for minimum wage.
