Dems pushing for a wage hike, coming from the horses mouths.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

More like “No Brain.”

Reason Number Two is that its good for women. Reason Number Three — the final reason— is that its the “right thing to do.” The rest of the article is just an attack on Republicans.

[PapaNew]

If minimum wage is so great (to those who failed or never took Economics 101), then why not a $100 minimum wage?

[TurboZamboni]

But it also won’t be indexed to inflation(that way the Dems can resort to this every 4 years or so )

“Governors for Unemployment and Government Dependency”

[Travis T. OJustice]

Make it a million bucks an hour and we’ll all be rich!

[BitWielder1]

If minimum wage is so great, why stop at $10.10?
Why not $20, $50, $100 or the magic $480.77 = One million bucks a year for a regular 40 hour work week.

[faithhopecharity]

Creating even more unemployment so they can reduce more people to dependency. A very simple agenda And they’re winning with it big time too. So they keep doing it.

[Sgt_Schultze]

...we're taking to raise the minimum wage in our states to $10.10 an hour by 2017

I don't understand if hiking the wage is so an urgent imperative, why they propose to make "hard working Americans" suffer for another three years. Where is the compassion? How can anybody survive on anything less than $10.10 per hour until 2017?

[Mygirlsmom]

Pony. I want Gov. Malloy to get me a pony! Three good reasons:

1) I want one

2)It would be good for me, and I'm a woman!!!!

3)Ponies are nice. My mom always said be nice....it's the right thing to do. Giving me a pony, therefore, is the right thing to do.

No Brainer! Duh!!!

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Hmmm. ..no mention of the CBO report.

From Shumlin's website:

Internships are split into three trimesters, Fall (September through December), Spring/Legislative Session (January through May) and Summer (June through August). The number of hours per week is flexible, but is generally 15-20 hours in the Fall and Spring and 20 in Summer. The Governor’s Office Internship Program is uncompensated and is intended for persons seeking to gain academic and/or professional experience.

Tell Gov Shumlin to stop abusing the internship program and pay his workers a fair wage

[mulligan]

Another fool.

[amnestynone]

Actually that is good. It means those states are going to learn a lesson on economics. It also means that for that kind of a minimum wage they will be hieing people who can actually speak English since their will be fewer jobs certain person can return to their lands of national origins. On second thought why don't we raise it to 15 dollars an hour that would show the country clubbers what can happen if they stick us with amnesty.

[Timocrat]

You have to have a Democrat mind set to believe that you’ll get more of something by making it more expensive.

[Quality_Not_Quantity]

I stopped reading when the second paragraph started with the words ‘House Republicans’.

[Billthedrill]

2017? That’s after both Malloy’s and Shumlin’s current terms. That’s after the next Presidential election. I’m not sure posturing comes any emptier than that.

[Boogieman]

I have a question. If a minimum wage is a good thing, and that minimum wage needs to change as prevailing economic conditions change, then why do the liberals never support lowering the minimum wage when the economy is anemic?

[CSM]

Then why should we be so insensitive! Let’s make it $480.77 an hour, then everyone can become millionares in one short year!

[sten]

40 hrs @ $7.25 == $290

29 hrs @ $10.10 == $292.90

coincidence?

[kcvl]

“assault from global economic forces and failed, trickle-down policies”

BS~!!!

From businesses being taxed to the hilt is more like it and union thugs supported by Democrat governors.

[MrB]

If your work is worth more than minimum wage, you’ll be paid more than minimum wage.

If your work is not worth what you’re being paid for it, you’re a thief.
