re: #295 Dark_Falcon

That’s a good line, derisive but not rabid. And raining on the Democratic governors’ parade was the sort of thing Jindal needs to do if he intends to run for president in 2016.

No, it’s not. It’s a dishonest line. We’ve increased the minimum wage in the past during times of economic prosperity. The reason why Obama and the governors want an increase in minimum wage is so more people can provide for their families and themselves and not have to be on the very government assistance that Jindal derides. Even big companies like Wal-Mart are coming out in favor of the increase. What does that tell you? Opposition to this isn’t about companies being able to afford it. It’s about refusal to believe that employees should get decent wages.
