In 20 years Fed minimum wage has gone up $2.10 while US Senator pay has gone up $32,700 in the same time.
Guess who helps decide both raises?????? #LaborDay2020

C'mon. I'm all in support of raising min wage to living wage levels. But doing such slight of hand comparisons is garbage. Compare apples to apples. Either compare hourly to hourly or annual to annual. It will still be a stark comparison and it won't be dishonest.
I did that too "US Senate pay 2000 $141,300 US Senate pay 2020 $174,000 +32,700 Fed minimum wage 2000 $5.15 an hr $10,712 a year Fed minimum wage 2020 $7.25 an hr $15,080 a year +4,368 In 20 years US Senators gave themselves $28,332 more of a raise than those on minimum wage"

It's better to compare the growth or 4368/10712 or 40% cumulative over 20yrs To 32.7/141.3 or 23%. Cuz, they're also not really the same job or skill level, based on education alone.

Thanks. That wasn't there when I posted my comment. But it's a fairer representation.
