Fox News host Bill O’Reilly says the “pinheads” in the Republican Party should stop opposing the minimum wage.
“The Republican Party should really wise up and stop opposing raising the minimum wage. It should be 10 bucks an hour” to keep employers from exploiting workers, O'Reilly said Wednesday during his opening “Talking Points Memo” segment of his TV show.
O’Reilly said his proposed $10 an hour minimum wage would apply only to adults. Teenagers just beginning their careers should be paid on a lower scale, he said.
“The GOP needs to stop working against working people,” O”Reilly said. …

If OlberReilly had to face a real conservative economist when plying this new pile of populist ordure, he would not have recovered enough to finish the show.
Would you buy a burger cooked by a robot?
I would, probably safer....
Of course pretty soon there would be no more people, just leeches
Then the robots would get sick of working for us and revolt... it would not end well
I think that such would induce a return to home cooking. Who has to keep the robots clean, after all?
Walter E. Williams would’ve schooled BOR well!
I wish folks would “wise up” and stop pushing this idiocy.
No exceptions. Minimum wage pay for waitresses is: a federal minimum of $2.13/hour.
When taxes and assumed tips are deducted, that leaves them with approximately $0.00/hour plus any tips they earn.
Perhaps it is time to raise the minimum wage for waitresses and waiters.
Make more unemployment. Especially As the Great Obama Depression gets worse and worse. Brilliant idea. /s
He is correct.
....he feels like he has to play nice nice. He interviews the only President in US history with three aliases and six Social Security cards. THERE’S A QUESTION YOU CAN ASK HIM.
LOL, I Design, build, program, and repair factory automation and production machinery. I’m all for raising the minimum wage. Every manufacturer has a price point already in place for determining human vs automated labor decision. Higher cost human workers, more work and opportunity for meeeeeeeeeee.
What happened to the need for what you do, how good you do what you do, and how easily you can be replaced?
When I was 16 I started working for minimum wage. At my 90 day review I got a raise ... I was told it was for hard work, reliability, punctuality, and a good attitude.
2 months later, the Dem congress made the determination that my lazy, unreliable, unpunctual, bad attitude co-workers deserved a raise too. So they raised the minimum wage.
Luckily, my boss was conservative. He gave me another raise to keep me ahead of the others. But he also told me one of my lazy coworkers would have his hours cut to encourage him to leave. That was the only way the boss could afford all the raises.
Who is?
TMI, WADR.
O’Reilly is right, just wrong about the figure.
The GOP should propose, as passionately as they can, raising the minimum to a living wage of 1000.00 dollars an hour.
Thank you...
