Religious Leader Says United States Treading Dangerous Waters

The effort to raise the minimum wage in Utah fell by the wayside during the recent legislative session. However, activists say the fight is not over.
One of those is Episcopal Rev. Daniel Webster. Webster recently left Utah to work for the National Council of Churches, but he's still working to fight poverty in the Beehive state. He tells KCPW's Bryan Schott that if things don't change, the country is in danger of institutionalizing poverty wages in America.
