Minimum wage is a slave wage

Editor,

The most famous of all Republicans, Abraham Lincoln, believed slavery should be abolished. The current Republican legislators in Montana obviously disagree with Mr. Lincoln as they will not permit an increase in a minimum wage that many interpret as slave wages. My hope is that the young of today will become the voters of tomorrow and remember who wanted to keep them earning slave wages.
