It didn't go over my head, it went over yours. This is a republic. The founders set it up that way so people couldn't vote shit into law by popularity. We elect representatives and the public is mostly clueless about cause and effect. Every state and location is different, it's the height of stupidity to have a national minimum wage anyway and totally unconstitutional.If these politicians do such good work, why is their favorably rating in the singles digits?
Secondly, (I'm so sorry it went over your head), the public's overwhelming desire for an increase in the Minimum Wage was a simple example of politicians not listening to a huge majority of voters. I don't know it was so tough to understand!
Same applies for favorable polling, it doesn't mean shit. They usually only get the bad news and I was talking about individuals. Not all politicians are the same so a poll on "congress" doesn't mean much.
But I'll reiterate that we are in the mess we are because of too many liberal politicians, their solutions don't work.
