With the democrats or liberals seemingly on the wrong side of every issue, how does it continue to sell?
It all reminds me of the words from that old song from the 70's (?) "It feels so good, it can't be wrong". NOT! Every teenager as he or she grows into adulthood finds that everything that feels good is NOT good! We can all relate to that!
Over the next few posts I will outline the many issues that sound good, but are wrong.
Let's start with the minimum wage. In Joe Biden's acceptance speech he said the John McCain voted 19 times AGAINST raising the minimum wage. How could he be so callus as to be against the poor guy or gal trying to just get by. BECAUSE the minimum wage is NOT about this poor little guy or gal. It is about the many union workers who's wage is hooked to the minimum wage. The minimum wage goes up, his wage goes up.
Many studies have shown that when the minimum wage goes up the poor little guy may get 10 cents more an hour, but many lose their job because the business has to cut expenses.
It sounds good, but is not.
More next time
