"What does labor want? We want more..."
Samuel Gompers,  Founder of the American Federation of Labor (AFL)

We all want more, but it should come as a result of producing more, not as a result of coercing others to give it to us by power of the government or labor unions, and especially not the AFSCME which unduly influences the politicians with money they get from the taxpayers. The politicians gladly take those campaign contributions, use it to stay in power, and look for the next favor they can do for the AFSCME to keep the game going. Often the favors hide the benefits to AFSCME, as this minimum wage bill did. This will not stop until we as voters demand that any would be politician we would vote for pledge never to take any contribution from the AFSCME.
