There's nothing like a millionaire (or a group of millionaires) ignoring all facts and deciding that he knows what's best for us mere peasants and that increasing the minimum wage, which doesn't pay enough to feed a family let alone pay rent, is a jobs killer. Steve Forbes, worth over $400 million himself, is the millionaire in question here, and he thinks that republicans should stand firm in the face of President Obama and the Democrats and not let a minimum wage increase pass.
You know what, Steverino? Fucking go for it. Because what Americans really believe--including 62% of your own party--is that we don't need to increase the minimum wage. And studies don't show that increasing the minimum wage reduces poverty. And there's nothing we like better than having economic psychopaths deciding whether or not our kids eat.
It's become quite an agenda republicans are devising for the 2014 elections--Benghazi, Obamacare, and keeping working class Americans in poverty.
Sounds like a winner to me.
