Re: How $10.10 an hour could get votes in November
How would increasing the minimum wage reduce unemployment?
It works like this.
When the companies have to lay people off because the minimum rate is so high, they go on unemployment and get counted as "unemployed"
After 99 weeks under the Obama administration they are cut off...thus no longer counted as "unemployed"
That's how they've done it so far.
I love the headline...."rally the Democratic base..."
With many of Obama's numbers below 30%, far worse than Bush, rallying a few phone booth loads of people is sure going to help.
Here they are, arrogantly clinging to a thin majority, having called opponents "traitors, jihadists, enemies, and terrorists" having used the nuclear option, this is NOT about minimum wage - these pukes never even read the ACA - it is about payback. Like the lickspittle that hang on hoodlums and rap stars, they fear their sun has faded, are guilty for the way they have bullied, beaten, clinging to a thin majority and terrified of what happens when, not if, the "terrorists" take charge.
Payback is a bitch, and that nuke option is going to make Obama's life a living hell.
The arrogant, the proud, the bullies have always been brought down in American culture, and usually in real life as well.
