Minimum Wage Increase Passes House
Written by Sam on January 10th, 2007In the House today, 82 Republicans voted to eliminate more low skilled jobs, raise prices on the American consumer, and increase the overall cost of living for all Americans across the board.
The Club for Growth took the time to break down the vote for us so we can see just which Republicans chose big government over the free market. None of the names on the list surprised, except for one.
What is up with Bobby Jindal??
Now, the bill would have passed anyway because the Dems voted unanimously in favor of it, but that is besides the point. The best minimum wage is no minimum wage.
Truth be told, I’m not all that concerned about this considering this is the one of the least harmful things that the American socialist party could do to bring down our country over the next two years.

“What is up with Bobby Jindal??”
He voted for the Death Tax/Minimum Wage combo bill in July and he’s running for governor now so he needs the “poor” vote.

You know, I’d love to have an intelligent discussion about the minimum wage with some bona fide conservatives, but when you do things like call democrats “the American socialist party” and refer to taxes as “theft from our bank accounts”, it’s hard to take anything you say seriously.
I thought this blog was for the discussion of ideas, not for monkeying back idiotic, meaningless talking points and platitudes.

Last time I checked legislating a price floor for labor was a socialist act.

Sir, do you understand what the word “socialist” means? You sound like one of these slackjawed rednecks from the 60s: “Eatin’ green beans with steak? That’s just plain ol’ communism!”
