Democrats are doubling down on their push for a national minimum wage hike ahead of the 2016 presidential election, as they look to make a campaign issue of an effort that met a stinging legislative defeat last year.That's right , Democrats want to make it illegal for high school dropouts to work (full time) for less than $24,960!
