Raise the import tariffs before raising the minimum wage, or you’ll just accelerate the offshoring of jobs.

$12 is racist. It should be much higher!

Sen. Patty Murray, Democrats to propose $12 federal minimum wage

No. Stop being a greedy little pig. If you are going to support raising the minimum wage, you need to raise it to $100.00/ hour so people can live comfortably.

STOP BEING GREEDY PATT MURRAY!!!!!!!

Why stop at $12? How about doing away with the minimum wage and just mandate a a minimum salary, say $50,000 or $100,000 a year.

Wrong for many reasons. One is that the dollar has a different value in different states.

RE: Sen. Patty Murray, Democrats to propose $12 federal minimum wage

They were asking for $15 Ms. Murray. You’re a cheapskate.

I’d give them $20 if I were you ( I got plenty of numbers ) /sarc

Hey Patty!

How’s that $15 minimum in Seattle working out?

Are there fewer employers and workers now, than before the imposition?

Boehner and House Republicans will cave, there will be a compromise of $11.00/hr and Republicans will beat their chests and brag how conservative they were at stopping the higher increase.

Murray is totally useless and has been for years. The federal government screwing around with the minimum wage while the world is afire with black jackasses in this country and their counterparts in the muslim world is sheer insanity.

Sen. Patty Murray, Democrats to propose $12 federal minimum wage...of course they will -and when it gets rejected as they know it will they'll run around saying that Republicans who vote against it are just trying to help the rich and hurt the poor - it gets so boring - if only they'd get a new playbook......
