God hates inequality - Jim Wallis

A snippet from Jim Wallis on the minimum wage and why it's important that people who work hard, get paid for it. Very pertinent to our South African context where many who labour hard in a full days work .. get paid peanuts. It's unjust and wrong and God does not approve.

God Hates Inequality

On Tuesday, following the Senate vote for cloture on minimum wage legislation, Jim Wallis joined Sen. Edward Kennedy, Sen. Sherrod Brown, Sen. Tom Harkin, and religious leaders in a press conference. This post is adapted from his remarks. The final vote on a minimum wage increase in the Senate is expected today.
