First of all, I want to thank you for the work you do every day in assisting people who are at the bottom end of the income scale. You probably have to keep them from getting and staying depressed with the futility of their situation. We don't work with those people every day, and I want you to know that we appreciate your work and laud you for it.
Ms. Go, you're probably aware of the last report of the National Council of Welfare, which just came out about a week ago. It says that the top 20% of earning families are now taking home 43% of the income in the country. The bottom 20% are only taking home 5% of the national income. Does this not suggest to you that we need to raise the minimum wage?
