"In the 10 years in which Republicans in Congress have refused to raise the minimum wage, they have increased their own salary by $35,000.The minimum wage's buying power is at its lowest point in a half-century, but the integrity of House Republicans can't be much higher. The hoax they played at 1:30 on Saturday morning - passing a wage increase they don't intend to become law - takes election-year deception to new depths."

That's because raising the salaries of "members" of congress is good for business, since their wages are paid from taxes. Raising the salaries of minimum wage workers is bad for business because wages are paid directly by businesses. At least that's how Roy Blunt's office explained it to me. It makes perfect sense.
