Pay Raise Politics

The Inquirer has an article on the "populist uprising" about legislative pay raises. Some here have claimed that right wing groups and corporations are behind this and that it's not a progressive issue. The Inquirer mentions the group Democracy Rising. Ok so they have an eagle on their web site. And they do partner with some conservative groups, but they also partner with some non-partisan groups like Common Cause and League of Women Voters. They have an article on the site, "Silence of the Left." Might some of the issues be a point of "shared values?"

"Silence of the left" is criticizing progressive groups who profess to care about ordinary people for not being interested in responsible government. You can be for government being used as a tool to right social wrongs and against elected officials looting the treasury and using vouchers to pay themselves before the year is out.
