Pressure congress to tie raises in the minimum wage to raises that they vote for themselves.

Created by M.D. on January 02, 2013

If enacted, this law will prevent congress from giving themselves a raise without also raising the federal minimum wage. This will ensure that if the members of congress feel they are not earning enough, the rest country's real spending power, the working and middle classes, will also get a bump in their spending power. This will also force congress to more carefully consider the ramifications of giving themselves a raise.
