The Patriot Post® · Minimum Politics

Barack Obama says that raising the minimum wage “is not just good policy; it also happens to be good politics, because the truth of the matter is the overwhelming majority of Americans think that raising the minimum wage is a good idea. That is true for independents, that is true for Democrats, and it’s true for Republicans.” He does have his finger on the polls on this one. Who doesn’t want to make more money? But he’s dead wrong on the policy, and those of us who know better should continue to remind voters that the real minimum wage is and always will be $0.
