If Congress Needs a Raise, What About People on Minimum Wage?
Click here to listen to Senator Clinton explain why Congressional raises should be tied to the minimum wage. You know, an awful lot of the people earning minimum wage are women. I'm just saying.
How do you respond to the position that an expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit would be much more effective at helping the working poor than an increase in the minimum wage?
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
