It worked, sort of, just not for you, me, or the 40,000,000 Americans (that we know of) who can't afford to miss a day of work.

40 years on the minimum wage has been seven bucks for 15 years and we're still voting for trickle-down economics every two years. Both parties have made this a core piece of their governing, and we reward them for it. That's success.
