RE: the nonworking families have taken over New Yawk, the ones that are feeding at the government trough

We always have to remind ourselves of this — whenever a nice slogan, party name or government program is being presented, always think of the RESULTING OPPOSITE EFFECT.

Hence the

Department of (In)Justice
The Department of (No) Energy
The (Un)Affordable Care Act
The (non)Working Families Party

etc.

‘...Department of (In)Justice
The Department of (No) Energy
The (Un)Affordable Care Act
The (non)Working Families Party...”

Reminds me of the good old Soviet days, when men were men and commies were slime. Back them, a pretty solid indication of a corrupt communist government was provided by the term “democratic” somewhere in the state title.

Oh well, now, men are women and a quite ill-educated commie is our dork-O-dent.

Maria Shriver is on MSNBC and the three networks pushing similar ideas :

1) Mandated employer living wage
2) Mandated employer paid sick leave
3) Mandated employer family leave
4) Mandated employer child day care, or government paid
5) Mandated employer living wage equal base pay for sexes

(note that most of above is targeted to single moms)

She is telling woman to demand these from elected.

The unions are going to end up getting screwed by Mayor De Wilhelm. They have become the biggest marks in the country.

And how big should your business be for all the above mandates to kick in?

RE :”And how big should your business be for all the above mandates to kick in?”

Shriver doesn't worry about details, she's born rich and married rich.

She like other Dems have all learned to claim that :

1) It will be good for economy and the employers who must pay for it
2) It will be good for workers not getting the freebees (men in these cases)

Its the ‘everyone wins’ strategy, Obama used it to sell Obamacare.

Clearly she’s aged.

I been watching Shriver on this because what she is selling is scary.

Shriver was pitching this on network news yesterday and showcased an Hispanic single mom suing her employer for hiring more men than woman, which would be a natural response of any employer to many of the employer mandates she is pitching.

That won't be a problem for the progressives - they are already in the process of making it impossible for businesses with less than 50 employees to even exist. They just use Walmart as a strawman to pass legislation that does nothing to Walmart, but very successfully wipes out rebellious and uncontrollable small business owners.

The Left, in all of its forms, has dominated city politics, worldwide, from day one, so where’s the surprise? In the U.S., whenever Republicans did win any citywide races for political office, they were, mostly, RINO Republicans! I repeat: All cities, everywhere in the entire world, have been dominated by leftist politics, from day one onwards!

In other words ACORN is running New York City and has a stranglehold on New York State.

Like old Pappy said: “As long as larceny lives in the heart of humankind... there WILL be Democrats!”

Also... To paraphase the late/great Iron Lady: “When you promise to rob Peter to pay Paul, you can count on getting Paul’s vote... at least till Peter runs out of money.”

RE :”It all polls so well the Pubbies are just waiting for the right time to cut and run.”

I have heard the Dems saying they think the GOP will cave on minimum wage, as GWB went along with raising it.

That one seems to poll high.

But, I hope not, states can and do set that themselves if they like the idea we don't need Federal big Mommy to impose it on states that dont,

The others certainly wont be passed by this GOP House. Wouldn't even be liked by the Chamber let alone conservatives.
