“Brown, traveling to the state’s largest media market to sign the landmark bill, remained hesitant about the economic effect of raising the minimum wage, saying, “Economically, minimum wages may not make sense.”

But he said work is “not just an economic equation,” calling labor “part of living in a moral community.”

“Morally and socially and politically, they (minimum wages) make every sense because it binds the community together and makes sure that parents can take care of their kids in a much more satisfactory way,” Brown said.”

Holy cow.

They don't call him "Moonbeam" for nothing.

“The minimum wages binds the galaxy together....,” Brown said.”

I guess Brown is saying we morally need to raise the wages of the people working so that they can provide for the people made unemployed by the minimum wage increase?

Isn’t it amazing watching a liberal try to justify their own insanity. They know they are wrong but the dogma always overrides any rational thought.

Brown actually said “Economically, minimum wages may not make sense.” But he said work is “not just an economic equation,” calling labor “part of living in a moral community.”
