As a politician, this woman is a fool.

Precisely. Activists are in the minority pretty much by definition even if they tend to have the biggest microphones. It leads to the mistaken assumption that all that noise means something. A few years ago gun control activists tried this "can't miss" approach in putting their programs to a vote in Washington State in Initiative 676. It got stomped 5-2 even in liberal Seattle.

As a relative guage of Sawant’s wisdom, she was the local Socialist council member who earlier this year told the Boeing union workers that they should turn down the company’s contract offers, forcibly take over the Boeing factories, and convert the “machines” to making things like buses rather than “weapons of war” (like your average airliner). Now she wants everyone to take her advice on minimum wage. Why not?

2 edged sword more money for those who work in must have business and all the fat producing “Fast Food” joints closing down in the city. (however as Walmart proved, if the city does not want the tax revenue the outlying towns do)

It is sobering to realize that this fool taught economics at Seattle Central Community College. Her students should file an educational malpractice suit. I have heard this woman be interviewed; there is no doubt she is a fool beyond description.

"Let’s just hold off on this issue while you gather signatures and see if you can get this on the ballot, and if you can, then we’ll know for sure what the voters REALLY want!”

She should make her petition demand $50 an hour. Who wouldn't sign up for that?

$50,000 @ year! so that one wage earner can provide a “living wage” for a family of 4. Wait ... that is $30 @ hr.
