Most sponsors of minimum wage hike bill don't pay interns

 

The Employment Policies Institute found that 96 percent of House and Senate sponsors of the minimum wage bill do not pay their interns. That includes lead bill sponsors, like Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, according to the study.As a whole, most members of Congress -- whether they support an increased minimum wage or not -- do not pay interns. But the Employment Policies Institute argues that the practice shows "sponsors are legislating with a 'do as I say, not as I do' approach."

“… I believe that there is, in this country, a large body of people who devalue the work of people who.. erm...erm... who work in the system.”

 

 

No kidding? Can we say projection boys and girls?

 

Magnus, you were certainly right about the interview being awesomely awkward. It was so awkward for me that my abs are sore from seven minutes of cringing. Maybe we could market this as a new Abs of Steel installment.
