Nancy Pelosi demands $10.10
per hour minimum wage

Washington Times, by Cheryl K. Chumley

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 3/8/2013 1:24:53 PM

Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that recent Wall Street gains mean one sure thing: The minimum wage should be hike to $10.10 per hour. “This week, we saw something quite remarkable — the stock marking soaring to record heights,” she said, Raw Story reported. “At the same time, we see productivity keeping pact. But we don’t see income for America’s middle class rising. In fact, it’s been about the same as since the end of the Clinton years.” So, she suggests, why not raise the current minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10.10

Comments:
She demands it?? Will the Republicans fall for this nonsense? You know the routine. They will say no and then will get bashed by 0bama and the Democrats for protecting those rich people. It´s all beyond frustrating.

She wants $10.10? She´s not worth it.

If $10 is good $20 would then obviously be better right? So why stop at $10? And why should we have to pay for health care, food and a house? This is all good comrade!

She is using the rise in the stock market as the justification. The rise for the most part is based on the continuous printing of money by Bernake and is a false rise. It is not based on company earnings. While some companies are showing good earnings to justify their increased stock prices, those companies are getting those earnings overseas, not here. Our economy does not justify an increase in min wage.

Once again liberals like Pelosi attemp to take credit for the effort of others. The obama administration is the most anti-business in our history. That the markets have achieved financial recovery is remarkable as is the performance of the US energy industry in the face of huge government obstacles. How many times does it have to be proven that raising the minimum wage kills jobs?

If the price of gas hadn´t doubled, along with the huge jumps in food and utility prices (you know, those things that don´t get included in the COLA calculation)we wouldn´t be needing a raise in the minimum wage (or any wage). The jumps in these items can be directly tied to Obama administrative actions.

As I recall, the economy was humming along in 2006. Then this evil woman and her party took control of things. The first thing they did was raise the minimum wage. Our economy has slid downhill ever since this gang took over after the 2006 elections.

They raise the minimum wage to $10.10.

Millions of young and uneducated people (pretty much all Øvomit voters) loose their jobs and end up on the welfare plantation.

The Demon-RATS then blame it on the greedy rich Republicans.

Sorry, Nancy, we aren´t playing that game.

Nancy, you can have an increased minimum wage as soon as the last one is applied throughout US Territories. Seems to me that Barbara Boxer prevented the wage from hitting canning plants in American Samoa. This needs to be the new standard in lawmaking. You can´t have seconds until you finish your first. Just like gun laws and background checks. You can´t have more laws if you don´t prosecute any of the existing laws.

1. Unions want a higher min wage because their salaries are tied to it --- e.g., a mulitiple of minium wage.

2. Large corps want it because it hurts low-cost start ups and mom and pops, thereby hurting competition.

She´s a dolt. Minimum wage earners are not Middle class, they are ´entry into the workforce´ class.
There may be a method to her madness...raise the minimum wage to the point to where everyone earns the minimum wage except the ruling class. Sounds like socialism, marxism, etc.

I think we’re looking at this all wrong. We don’t need a higher wage, we need to ABOLISH wages completely! It’s such an antiquated and unfair practice – someone is always getting more than someone else.

Since the gov’t prints money like a gov’t printing money, currency clearly has no real value anyway. Ergo, let’s forget about “earnings” and “profit” and be truly enlightened – everyone just take what they need, and we’ll all be happy and no one will have more than anyone else!!!!

It should be $10.10 in San Francisco, but only $9.99 elsewhere. It cost more to live in that city. Its all nonsense because few can live on
the current minimum wage or that which is being proposed, whichever number one picks.
Incidentally , we have now seen Obamacare, and when it kicks in fully, it will eat up whatever raise there is in the minimum wage. She forgot to mention that point.

Nancy does not get the whole capitalism, for-profit, economics, stock market and investment thing. Someone else manages her money for her. It is too deep for her, gives her a headache, bores her with the details. Her gig is fairness. $10.10 an hour sounds fair to her. Why not make a law? That would be nice.

But maybe $10.10 is not fair enough. Why be satisfied with half-measures? Why not make the minimum wage $20.20? It won´t make any difference to the stock market, which operates completely independently of all government regulations, including the minimum wage.

Come to think of it, Nancy, why not shoot the works and raise the minimum wage to $100 an hour? That would increase tax revenue and be a big stimulus to the economy.

Almost all Union contracts are linked to minimum wage. Particularly SEIU. If minimum wage goes up, it is just a backdoor raise for Obama´s thugs.
2.2% of the workforce that makes minimum wage is above the age of 18.
12% of the workforce is Union. Of that 12%, 90% is federal or government Union.
All of that 90% will get a 15-40% increase for every 1.50 that minimum wage goes up.

That´s just what those Union workers need, 75 bucks an hour with a fat juicy pay raise to go with it.

Who said paybacks are hell?

And Unions love it more, because it reduces competition for jobs from unskilled workers.

Quit focusing on Pelousy, and look what Obama is really doing behind the curtain, folks.

How do great results on Wall St. translate into making the proprietor of a small business like a bodega have to pay a lot more money to hire a high school kid to sweep the floor and stock the shelves for a couple of hours a day? Oh yeah...he owns his business so he´s a capitalist and all capitalists are getting rich off the stock market, so he has dough to burn.

Cuomo has Botox beat. The demonrats in the Assembly just passed a bill and sent it to the Senate to raise the minimum wage to I think $9/hour, but they indexed it to inflation. Ten years from now, that $9 will become $30+/hour. Demonrats are dumber than dirt, do not comprehend economics at all, and all they care about is votes from the uneducated public education dumbbells that they successfully indoctrinated. Case in point is NYC graduates going on to a community college in NYS where the college found out that 80% of them can´t read, write, or do simple arithmetic.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself.

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence.

Get ready for the last straw. First, though, I´d like to suggest that anyone reading this column in a local newspaper or news site pat the editor on the back for publishing what in our neo-medieval world of fear amounts to a forbidden column.

In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,
