Perhaps debating with you is not the most effective way to sway you. Would you consider opening a restaurant?

Your former congressperson, David Bonior, used this approach. He was a longtime supporter of labor and sponsored the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2002.

Now he pays his 50 or so employees “the tip wage,” which is $2.36 an hour.
