o'payola is only pushing for increasing the federal minimum wage and encouraging states to do the same because many union wage/retirement contracts' pay scales are indexed to the minimum wage set by government. Thus, a percentage increase in minimum wage may hike union wages up by an equal percentage. It is no mistake, as part of the 'payback' scheme, that SEIU is being allowed to escort federal inspectors, e.g. OSHA on site inspections, which further excacerbates the problem of 'cronyism' and 'payback' politics rampant throughout o'payola's regime. It appears that his 'bleeding heart' for low wage employees is nothing more than a thinly veiled smokescreen to reward [using taxpayer monies] those who voted him into office and who will support Democrats in the November 2014 election and H16 in Nov. 2016's election. -- rfh

OBSCENE SALARIES ....... A MUST READ
$14.11 and hour in MN for being on welfare!
THE WORK ETHIC WE INHERITED GROWING UP HAS FALLEN PREY TO THE 'WELFARE' SYSTEM
The Cato Institute released an updated 2013 study (original study in 1955) showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33 states and the District of Columbia. Even worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour in 13 states. According to the study, welfare benefits have increased faster than minimum wage. It is now more profitable to sit at home than it is to earn an honest day's pay.
Hawaii is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13 per hour, or a $60,590 yearly salary, all for doing nothing. Here is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent "salary" that welfare recipients receive is higher than having a job:
1. Hawaii : $60,590
2. District of Columbia : $50,820 (a federal enclave)
3. Massachusetts : $50,540
4. Connecticut : $44,370
5. New York : $43,700
6. New Jersey : $43,450
7. Rhode Island : $43,330
8. Vermont : $42,350
9. New Hampshire : $39,750
10. Maryland : $38,160
11. California : $37,160
12. Oregon : $34,300
13. Wyoming : $32,620
14. Nevada : $29,820
15. Minnesota : $29,350
16. Delaware : $29,220
17. Washington : $28,840
18. North Dakota : $28,830
19. Pennsylvania : $28,670
20. New Mexico : $27,900
21. Montana : $26,930
22. South Dakota : $26,610
23. Kansas : $26,490
24. Michigan : $26,430
25. Alaska : $26,400
26. Ohio : $26,200
27. North Carolina : $25,760
28. West Virginia : $24,900
29. Alabama : $23,310
30. Indiana : $22,900
31. Missouri : $22,800
32. Oklahoma : $22,480
33. Louisiana : $22,250
34. South Carolina : $21,910
As a point of reference the average Middle Class annual income today is $50,000, down from $54,000 at the beginning of the Great Recession. Hawaii, DC, and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average working folks earn there. Is it any wonder that they stay home rather than look for a job.
Time for a drastic change.
Are we Nuts or what? How do we un-do this type of stupidity on the part of Americans?
This is crazy!
Salary of retired US Presidents $180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate....$174,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of Speaker of the House ....$223,500 FOR LIFE!
Salary of Majority/Minority Leader $193,400 FOR LIFE!
Average Salary of a teacher .. $40,065
Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN .. $38,000
Think about this.
Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE. She has retired as SPEAKER at $223,500 a year.
PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as Minority Leader.
That's $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical
which is not available to us ... the taxpayers
She is just one of the hundreds of Senators and Congress that float in and out every year!
I think we found where the cuts should be made!
