minus-squareMonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·edit-22 years agoYou mean like how USA political campaign donation limits are done ? They are updated every election and related to the cost of living unlike the minimum wage. which combined with a low minimum wage means that only rich people can afford to pay off politicians for favors.
