Rick Perry, one of many republicans with delusions of one day being President (and that's what it will always remain--a delusion), has taken a bold stance on the minimum wage saying that it should be left up to every business to decide for itself what to pay its workers.
While the statement's sheer cravenness is enough to conjure images of Perry on youtube kissing the lily white asses of the Koch brothers, the real world effect would be...even more Americans in poverty and even more children in hunger.
For fuck's sake--there's a reason we've set a minimum wage: corporations can't be trusted. Period. If they could put us in slavery and pay us nothing, they would.
Letting companies decide what the minimum they'll pay is on par with letting prison inmates decide if they should have a gun.
Peace,
