Democratic Congressional Candidate Carol Shea-Porter
listen:
  Two years ago, Rochester Democrat Carol Shea-Porter surprised many by defeating Republican Congressman Jeb Bradley and becoming New Hampshire’s first woman elected to national office. Once in Congress she landed seats on the House Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Education and Labor. Now she's in a closely-watched and contentious rematch against Bradley for the 1st District seat. We talk with Shea-Porter about her campaign, where she stands on issues from foreign policy, the economy, health care and energy and what she hopes to accomplish if reelected. Guest

I remain concerned that in all the discussion of the current financial crisis, neither Dems or Reps are discussing the root cause: corporations keep making decisions to pay their shareholders, not to put money into workers' salaries or production infrastructure.
Of course people had to take Liar's loans to buy homes--their salaries haven't kept pace with inflation.
What can Congress do to begin a process that rewards companies for increasing worker salaries?
