Another in an endless series of meaninless fog words that liberals use to try to make you think they're actually saying something.
Can anyone actually define "living wage?" Across the entire economic spectrum. Be precise on demographics, job types, etc.
It should be obvious to any boob that a "living wage" for a family of four in San Francisco is something distinctly different from a "living wage" for a teenager in a town in Nebraska.
The idea of a flat Federal minimum wage was inane from the first. Its only function is an easy, cost-free (to the politician) political sop to voters who aren't smart enough to know what's going on.
Hey, if I'm a politician, and I raise the minimum wage, I'm the Hero of the Hour, and it doesn't cost me or the government a nickel (no government job has paid as low as minimum wage in decades). The idiots eat it up. What's not to like? Let's raise it again!
