Higher minimum wage = more unemployed, more unemployed = more people forced to take government benefits, more people on government benefits = more Democrat voters/indentured followers. Obama's math is quite easy to follow.
When you try to spread the wealth, all you end up spreading is poverty.
Many unions won't have to. Lots of them have their wages pegged to the minimum wage, so that when it goes up, their wages go up. It's a win/win for the unions. A rise in the MW is an instant pay raise for them.
Ack. I hate leaving typos in the title.
Well, let's see. GWB didn't reinstate the AWB. That makes him OK in my book.What positive did either Bush ever do?
Why not make the minimum wage like $25 an hour? Why not $30?
I have yet to see any argument which conclusively illustrates the beneficial effects of raising the minimum wage. As stated in the original post, raising the min wage = instant guaranteed inflation.
Funny thing about that. Bush & Kerry agreed on gun control.Well, let's see. GWB didn't reinstate the AWB. That makes him OK in my book.
Q: You said if Congress would vote to extend the ban on assault weapons, that you’d sign the legislation, but you did nothing to encourage Congress to extend it.
BUSH: I did think we ought to extend the assault weapons ban and was told the bill was never going to move. I believe law-abiding citizens ought to be able to own a gun. I believe in background checks. The best way to protect our citizens from guns is to prosecute those who commit crimes with guns.
KERRY: I am a hunter. I’m a gun owner. I’m also a former law enforcement officer. I ran one of the largest district attorney’s offices in America. I know something about prosecuting. Most of the law enforcement agencies wanted that assault weapons ban. They don’t want to go into a drug bust and be facing an AK-47. Because of the president’s decision today, law enforcement officers will walk into a place that will be more dangerous. Terrorists can now come to America, go to a gun show and, without a background check, buy an assault weapon.
Yup...Well, let's see. GWB didn't reinstate the AWB. That makes him OK in my book.
“Even with the tax relief we’ve put in place, a family with two kids that earns the minimum wage still lives below the poverty line. That’s wrong,” Mr. Obama said in his State of the Union address Tuesday night. “Let’s declare that in the wealthiest nation on earth, no one who works full time should have to live in poverty.”
Falls in line with some of the "leaks" we've seen from DHS regarding the collapse of the dollar. Getting my tin foil hat.
All I hear every day is how expensive the items in the store I work at are. This would just put the icing on the cake.

It's not a serious proposal, just the usual Democrat ploy -- propose something that sounds good to unthinking idiots but has no chance of passing and then pillory the GOP for being heartless monsters for opposing it. Obama got re-elected on this strategy and it's all he knows.
