(Exempt) Pelosi Urges Congress to Act On MLK’s Agenda By Making the Minimum Wage a Living Wage
Pliticus USA ^ | 8/24/13 | Sarah Jones

**SNIP**

Democratic minority leader of the House stoked up the crowd with her speech. Pelosi urged Congress to act on MLK’s agenda by saying, “He would want us to celebrate him, his birth and his legacy by acting upon his agenda. By realizing the dream. By making the minimum wage a living wage. By having not just family and medical leave, but having paid sick leave for our workers. By having quality affordable childcare so that our families, the power of women can be unleashed in our economy and our society.”

Democrats are on the warpath, pressing their advantage with hard sells of the Democratic agenda. Instead of apologizing for the liberal agenda, Democrats are embracing it, owning it, claiming it and framing it properly so that they can demand why everyone isn’t on board with it. Kentucky’s Democratic Governor Steve Beshear owned the ObamaCare fight in public, socking it to a rather stunned Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul.

The Lear Jets have theirs now.

They want to make sure that no one today can rise by dint of hard work.

The future of our planet is grim.

The Global Green Party will rule. Members of the Inner Party will dine on the finest foods in air conditioned comfort.

The rest of us will eat beans and swelter.

Translation: If you don’t enact the liberal agenda, you hate MLK. You don’t hate MLK, do you?

We also need to guarantee a living profit to employers.

Without profit there are no jobs and there are no taxes and there is nothing to redistribute.

Use the Mn. Fed inflation calculator to see what the real adjusted minimum wage should be. You will fall over when you realized what has been done to our money and our country.

Nancy you thieving ignorant SLUT!

Treason is not enough. There is a special place in hell for the whole lot.

RE :”(Exempt) Pelosi Urges Congress to Act On MLK’s Agenda By Making the Minimum Wage a Living Wage,”

Watching much of MSNBC coverage of today's ‘March for Jobs and Justice’ in DC I thought it perverse that those who do everything they can to outlaw jobs(about every speaker) , like passing the minimum wage, would claim they are demanding ‘jobs’

But of course after electing re-Obama they called for another Dem ‘jobs’ bill, which is more welfare.

Also I learned how terrible blacks have it here now, how many of MLKs gains they lost under Obama recently. They described a terrible country today in speech after speech, about poverty and inequality.

Isnt it interesting that not a peep by them complaining about it this time last year, when Obama was up for re-election. Like it all happened in 6 months.
They said everything was wonderful back then.

Heck Nanny, just make the minimum wage $100 per hour; then your voters can work and drink champagne. Isn’t that a good idea Nanny?

Of course, if we did that, we'd have to raise the bennie package to the equivalent of $110/hour.

Can't be discriminating against those who don't want to work now, can we?

Huh? “Living Wage”??? What statistics determine that? The CPI? The Government-watered-down CPI that purports we’re doing so well?

Oh...I get it: She wants everyone on WELFARE
