1) How do you make poor people rich people? Education, health care, welfare, and affordable housing. Gee, Democrats don't fight for those things... Oh... wait a minute, we do. Sorry.

2) Poor people usually don't like being pissed on and looked down upon as "poor people". The only way Republicans get to poor people is that they play off their basest of instincts: an image of a powerful and bloodthirsty America and a fear of God. We're focused on actually helping them, not just duping them into voting for us.

3) That minimum wage increase IS a big deal. It's a VERY big deal. And if you think a higher minimum wage increase would be effective, you obviously don't understand economics.
