It's why the minimum wage in Washington is seven and a quarter an hour.
It's why our trade policies have been a disaster for workers.
It's why we don't have a decent childcare system.
Big money dominates every aspect of what goes on here in Washington.
And unless we get rid of these super PACs, it's gonna be even worse.
I think you're absolutely right.
