2. Raising the minimum wage?

that would be cool. Health care reform will never be single-payer, unless of course all of our representatives vote for it. I've read there are 3 single-payer bills...2 in the Senate, and 1 in the House. I'm sure they were DOA.

3. SOmewhere I read that all things being equal, if the minimum wage had the same relationship to

housing costs and automobiles prices as in the 70's, it would be $13/hour today!

4. raising

corporate and income taxes would do the same thing more directly.

6. The Government Can't Exactly Raise Wages Across the Board

but it can raise the minimum wage to $10-12/hour. That would in turn bump up wages somewhat above that.
