“”I’m Told That I’m Worth More Than Minimum Wage!””

I am not a fan of Rachel Maddow. But in this picture she looks the most feminine I ever seen her.

That’s exactly what the liberals think. They think businesses earn obscene profits and shortchange their workers. They think businessmen are all like Scrooge and all workers are like Bob Crachit (SP?), and that tiny Tim is hungry because Scrooge won’t pay his dad a living wage.

The Left will laugh at this. We need substantive data to back up these arguments and assertions.

Of course. Conservatives are always having to provide irrefutable, iron clad, scientific evidence, to advance any line of thought, while libs can pull anything out of their butts they like.

I'm sick of the double standard.

Yet you curiously never hear any of them saying a bad word about George Soros, or any number of other left wing fat cats.
