What does Nancy Pelosi's family pay the workers in the wine vineyards?

I see Pelosi and her lapdog media are going to push for more liberty to be destroyed by demanding a higher minimum wage.

Doesn't she own wineries along with her husband?.. How much do they pay their grape pickers?

When she took over as the Speaker of the House, I remember seeing a report that she is the RICHEST PERSON TO EVER hold that office. You don't hear much about that, do you?

Oh don’t worry, there will be a SPECIFIC exemption for that, just as there was for Barbara Boxer’s Tuna companies in Samoa.

Remember, the best thing about being a Democrat is that the laws you pass on others, don’t actually apply to YOU!

Typical liberal wench...boinked a rich guy to get where she is.

Her husband bought her, her house seat....and in return he gets her (fill in the sordid blanks)......bleh!

Yup, she scr*wed him in more ways than one.

I really hope he has a good mistress - or two - or three.

I have read that they are not union!!! Also, in the last cost of living increase, she had an American controlled island (Saipan I believe)Exempted. Strange that she and her husband own some busines interests on the island!!

Your suspicions are correct.

Remember this:

Catch of the Day: The Pelosi-Samoa Connections May Be Even Deeper

Fishing around in the now widely-known Samoan exception to the recently passed Minimum Wage bill (where tuna industry workers there are apparently being paid $3.26 an hour), Andy's Angle cast a wide net and hauled in the following.

They must think that we are stupid to not notice this blatant hypocracy.

Then again, maybe we are — the people who happily vote for Pelosi.

Will she be getting any water for her grapes this year?

Just saw headline that 2013 was a glut year for CA wine.

They always like to exempt themselves and cronies from the laws they pass.

StarKist’s parent company, Del Monte Corp., has headquarters in San Francisco, which is represented by Mrs. Pelosi. The other plant belongs to California-based Chicken of the Sea.

That is a great article. Quite full of good stuff and Pelosi is a real rat isn’t she.

This is why I deplore politicians like Obama and Pelosi. Obama wants an increase in the minimum wage and said (in the SOTU address) that he would lead the wayby increasing the minimum wage for federal contracts. Lead the way? How exactly is he leading the way. Unlike real business owners, no money is coming out of his pockets. Liberals love to throw around money that isn't theirs, but are tighter than Al Gore's belt when it comes to their own money.

Meanwhile, we have service men and women on food stamps. This is something that the Commander in Chief could actually have an effect on.

Don't really care - keeping unions out, while "supporting" unions didn't leave a mark. Why dilute our issues with a scatter-gun approach?

If we don't focus on stuff with meat to sink our teeth into, we are losing sight of the battles to come.

The way I understand it Pelosi and husband have interests in wineries and restaurants and are not into owning them outright. So it will be harder to pin anything on them for how the workers are treated

I am sure all the Pelosi and husband operations are stacked with illegal aliens

The Democrats want nothing more from the citizens than their votes; by any means. They’re greedy Bolsheviks.
