Candidate Says Yes

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 4/25/2022 2:16:48 PM

A Democratic congressional candidate in Washington State is arguing for a $30 per hour minimum wage, claiming that the $15 minimum wage movement is an outdated number. Rebecca Parson, a candidate for Washington’s 6th District that includes Tacoma, shared the comment recently in a post on Twitter. “$15 minimum wage is an antiquated demand. It should be $30 per hour,” she tweeted. [Tweet] “1 adult supporting 1 kid needs $30 an hour across the country. Rural, urban, suburban: $30 is the floor. As you say your nightly prayers to Saint Elon while you fall asleep tonight, reflect on why you punch down on poor people

Why not $100/hr? What the dum bazz don't understand is when it becomes the law, it's still minimum wage and they will be not better off.

Why doesn't she use her own money to make up the extra $15? Or at least get it from her good cash-flush buddies at BLM? Actually, she looks like jen psaki without the charisma. And of course she's LGBQwhatever. And a teacher. What is it with these shrieking dried-up Karens?

She should watch a video of Thomas Sowell talking about how he could only get his first job because no minimum wage law existed at the time. I say watch a video rather than read his writings because I doubt she could figure out the bigger words.

I took out my calculator - - and I figured that the ideal minimum wage would be - - $413.23 per hour. At that minimum hourly wage - - 35 hours of "work" would bring in $14,463.05 per week - - or $752,078.60 per year. Thus - - a minimum wage of $412.23 per hour - - would guarantee that not even the wildest, most delusional leftist - - would ask for it to be raised again for at least seven weeks. Let's do it! I'm sure my calculations are right!

At $15 they priced out most first job positions that used to go to teens. At $30 they will price out most unskilled and many skilled jobs. Soon no one will but politicians will have a job.

There would be a massive amount of layoffs, because no small business can afford that type of wages. They will cut back their hours and the owner and spouse will be the only two employees.

Arbitrary hikes in the minimum wage ultimately reduce entry-level employment opportunities, while increasing the cost of goods and services. To get their bolshevik revolution, the Left need the poor to outnumber the prosperous. A vibrant middle class is liberty's strongest defense against the fraud that is socialism. And most of the Dems' programs have served to drag the middle class into poverty, while keeping the poor where they are. Absolutely insidious.

If politicians can mandate a minimum wage, there's nothing stopping them from setting a maximum wage. This was already addressed at least as far back as Hillary's first foray into health care, back in the Clinton administration when Hillary wanted to set the salaries for health care workers.

Why is $30 the magic number? Why not $1000? $5000? Why not get paid what your labor is worth? In the case of Rebecca Parson, that magic number is $0, as she doesn't add anything to the economy as she is a taker not a supplier.

An intense road rage dispute between two motorists in Florida landed one of them behind bars Tuesday after he pulled out a knife, prompting the victim to display a gun, authorities said. Rafael Vincent Rivera, 50, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill in connection with the confrontation in Palm Coast, about 80 miles north of Orlando, the Flagler County Sheriff's Office said. "Tragic disagreements should never result in violence in our streets," Sheriff Rick Staly said in a statement.

Last September, New York Democrats sought to drive the Republican Party out of existence in the state by taking the term “gerrymander” to unheard-of levels. Currently, the Democrats hold 19 congressional seats to the GOP’s 8. The map drawn by the state legislature was a parody of democracy. It would have eliminated five Republican seats and strengthened the marginal hold on several other seats by Democrats. Fortunately, the state’s highest court put the kibosh on that hyperpartisan nonsense. “Democratic leaders in the legislature drafted the 2022 congressional redistricting map without any Republican input, and the map was adopted by the Legislature without a single Republican vote in favor of it,”

Joe Biden may be just another old white guy and will never be as cool as the first black president, but he just achieved something historic for his presidential legacy. Not only is the national average for a gallon of gas now over $4.50, but gas prices are over $4 a gallon in all 50 states. Both are historic firsts. Gas prices reached an average of $4.52 a gallon on Tuesday, according to AAA. That’s up from $4.37 a week ago, and up from $3.05 a gallon a year ago.

A century ago, the founder of Planned Parenthood (Margaret Sanger) worked with white supremacists to concoct a vicious racial targeting campaign (the “Negro Project”) with the goal of using birth control and sterilization (including forced sterilization) to reduce populations she and her friends deemed “unfit” to live. Today, as then, anti-life activists want to throw abortion at minority women rather than be bothered to find solutions to their real problems of poverty, relationships, healthcare, and childcare. But the depths of racism and discrimination Sanger’s movement would ultimately reach would have likely shocked even her.

Unfortunately, every time there is a mass shooting tragedy in America there are politicians and media figures – mostly on the left – who take radical Democrat Rahm Emanuel’s “never let a crisis go to waste” mantra to heart in how they respond, first by stomping all over those who call for thoughts and prayers and second by rushing to blame “the right” for what happened, whether it be Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Tucker Carlson or whichever right-wing mover and shaker they find to be most influential at the time.

Back in 2012 at a town hall meeting, a woman asked me if I thought there were socialists in Congress. I replied by stating that there were some 75-80 socialist and communists in the US Congress. Well, that sent some folks into an apoplectic meltdown; however, it was the truth. At that time when one assessed the membership of the Congressional Progressive Caucus that assertion was pretty accurate. We must recognize that the reference "progressive" was just a slick renaming of European communists who sought to export their philosophy of governance, albeit a flawed one, to the United States.

On Friday, the World Swimming Coaches Association (WSCA) released its official position on transgender athletes. This comes after biological male swimmer Will “Lia” Thomas made headlines for competing on the women’s swim team at University of Pennsylvania after competing on the men’s team for three consecutive years. At the NCAA women’s swimming championships in March, Thomas came in first place in a race against female swimmers, as Townhall covered. The WSCA’s position is that the “grounds of fairness” in swimming cannot be maintained with the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports. This was published in a lengthy statement on the organization’s website.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law on Monday that prohibits “picketing and protesting” outside a private residence. Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 1571 in the wake of abortion protests. The bill will make it unlawful to picket outside Florida residences and be considered a second-degree misdemeanor. “Sending unruly mobs to private residences, like we have seen with the angry crowds in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices, is inappropriate,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “This bill will provide protection to those living in residential communities and I am glad to sign it into law.”

In what some are calling an epic 'Freudian slip,' former President George W.

Bush made the embarrassing gaffe in a speech at his presidential center in Dallas, where he spoke about the importance of fair elections and slammed Russia's autocratic system. 'The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq,' Bush said, before shaking his head and correcting himself. 'I mean, of Ukraine.' As the audience fell into awkward silence, Bush muttered
