It plays well in Peoria. The first thing the next Congress will do is to raise the federal minimum wage, a relatively meaningless act since many states and the marketplace are paying more than what is proposed. However, it will be trumpeted by the Dems as another example of their support for the little guy.
Maybe Rush's response is the best one to use: let's raise the minimum wage to $20 or more an hour.
#165, that is an excellent Point. Most states like Florida already have a Minimum wage law way above the Nationwide Minimum wage law. We have to make sure that the people know that this is Crappola propaganda by the Stalinist DemoRAt Party. People do not like to be told they are being used like a $3.00 hooker, and may just be amenable to looking at other ways the DBM/DNC are using People. The Rats seem to be very good at copying Hitler style propaganda to their advantage.
