Hey Lormand, after 10 years of Savage on the radio and my listening to him for 5 years, I have never heard him mention the minimum wage issue. Yet you beat that drum as if that's one of his major talking points and it is not.
I'd be interested IF he supports the minimum wage what his reasoning would be yet he NEVER talks about it. But what IS clear to me from listening to Savage everyday is that he hates hates liberals, Rino's and conservatives who he feels sells out principle for advantage, power, money, friends, etc.
We on this thread already know your position, it never changes, so no need for you to come here to repeat the same talking point everyday. Thanks for your reasonable cooperation.
Actually Savage did discuss the minimum wage, and does support it, and this is what he said about it. He said that the product liability legal racketeering industry and their minions have contributed vastly more to the price of consumer goods in this country than any minimum wage does. The class action lawyers are more responsible for the price of a cheeseburger than any pimple-faced kid flipping patties paying for college books and a beat up old car. He also stated that although the minimum wage isn't strictly supply-and-demand market economics, it could be justified for ethical and moral reasons, having been there himself, and since many other things also are dictated for moral reasons like child labor for example. That said, anyone who thinks an adjustment in the minimum wage would bring us to the brink of socialism is smoking crack. Our country already has large swaths of its economy dictated by other than fair free-market economics. It's been that way for many years.
Maybe tarkus can help you out on this, because I think tark heard him say that as well. I have heard him several times.
Perhaps Weiner is better off replaying tapes of Bush 41' crying rather than rehash his support for a socialist wage cap scheme?
