Raising The Minimum Wage Is Good Policy And Good Politics

Duh.  Today we're getting a crapload of horseshit being flung around by the retards and Koch-suckers in the establishment media about the purported loss of jobs after raising the minimum wage to the still criminally-low rate of $10.10 per hour.  It's not true of course, but it is a willful misreading and misunderstanding of the CBO report, just as it was for the ACA.  Raising the minimum wage HAS NEVER lead to an increase in unemployment, but the conservatards and Koch-suckers are not interested in reality; economic hardship creates increased opportunities to exploit racist and other fear-based politics to the benefit of the all-American rock-ribbed establishment, keeping the beneficial class- and wage-based consensus from forming and asserting political influence.  Higher minimum wage means more money, more jobs, more chance for more Americans to become free enough and comfortable to participate in politics: exactly the opposite of what the political leaders want.
