WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) - A broad-based coalition of millionaires converged on Washington today to defeat a bill that would have increased the minimum wage for American workers to $10.10 an hour.
Leaving behind their mansions and yachts, the millionaires were motivated by what they saw as an existential threat to the country, Mitch McConnell, a spokesman for the millionaires, said.
“This was an extremely diverse coalition,” McConnell said, noting that everyone from the rich to the very rich to the super-rich united to vote down the bill.
McConnell hoped that today’s vote would burnish the millionaires’ reputation as “people who get things done.”
“Folks who have tried to pin a ‘do nothing’ label on us are dead wrong,” he said. “When it comes to stopping workers from being paid more, we spring into action.” Borowitz Report

I whopping 500 people were polled I'm wondering what is stopping these millionaires from raising their minimum wage jobs higher, or better yet donate what they think they should be taxed to the government.

LMAO! Henry is pushing for the Wealthy to not do as they wish... but instead, as he wishes!

I want them to put their money where their mouth is, they don't need the government to raise their employee rates or to donate their money, so what's stopping them?

If the poll holds true for the rest of Millionaires, they want a fair system so that ALL AMERICANS (including themselves) prosper. An America where the richest of the rich continue to take from the middle class and poor is unsustainable, and in the end will lead to economic collapse.

...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

Your conceptual logic of metaphoric substitution invests itself in the unanalyzed arbitrariness of empirical literalism.
