The Minimum Wage Hike : Apparently, Not So Good for the Gander

Posted from Fox & Friends by Kathryn Jean Lopez at The Corner:

STEVE DOOCEY: We teased you with this a moment ago. On Wednesday the U.S. House passed a bill that says the minimum wage in this country will rise over time from $5.15 an hour to $7.25. Now, here's the thing. Included in the small print is the fact that the minimum wage will now include the islands of the northern marinas but it exempts American Samoa which is the only U.S. Territory not subject to minimum wage laws.

BRIAN KILMEADE: What's the big deal about that?

DOOCEY: It covers all islands except American Samoa. Why American Samoa?

Why, indeed. A very plausible answer here.

1 Pelosi's spin doctors are throwing out the irrelevant fact the she didn't sponsor the Samoan exemption, and that Del Monte began processing there a year after the exemption was enacted.


Well duh, little Dhimmiecrats, Del Monte wouldn't operate the plant prior to the enactment, now would they?


Plastic Pelosi has been sloganeering about a Republican "culture of corruption" and raising the standards of the working poor ad nauseum. She was perfectly happy to fuck over the working poor until she got caught doing it. She's definitely an ignorant twat who is unqualified for her job, but her office is perfectly aware of any business and tax exemtions in her district. Now she claims to want to help the poor, underprivileged Samoans, who suck at the teat of American "entitlement' programs like hogs, without offering anything in return, much like the thoroughly worthless Marianans.


Still no word about the peons on her vinyards, but then, why should a Congresswoman be expected to obey the laws the rest of us do regarding illegal employees, industry standard wages, unions, or any other issue the hypocrite Dems preach about endlessly.


Golly little lefturds, are beginning to realize your beloved Dhimmiecrat party is only interested in power, the American people be damned? Only those of you capable of rational thought, who will all become neocons when you finally grow up.

2 Pelosi lied, tuna died, and Samoans are screwed! Impeach the Speakerette! Stop the corrupt war against Samoan paychecks! Pull the StarKist forces out of Samoa now!

Wow, that felt good to go full blown liberal nuts on them...thanks for providing the excuse Ragnar...

3 funny how selective you guys are. That tuna stinks on both side of the 'aisle'.

If we were selective, we wouldn't condemn Republican malfeasance--which we do on a regular basis. No, it's you hopeless tards on the left who march in lockstep with every instance of Dem corruption imaginable. As the far more corrupt party, that's really saying something. Something bad.


Fucking little hypocrite. So much for the "Republican culture of corruption."

5 Tboner:


Both sides of the aisle didn't run on a phony "culture of corruption" platform, and Repulsive Plastic Pelosi is responsible for her own fucking district.


Moron.

tbone,


Pelosi is a lying, power hungry, hypocrite who rewards her scummy friends while pretending she is Joan of Arc. She is the last person in DC who should be lecturing about ethics.


She is Satan's stool sample.


USA, all the way!

7 has this bill been passed with the exemption? HAS THE NEW YORK TIMES PRINTED THIS STORY?
HAS ANY OF THE PEOPLE AT STAR KIST HAD ANY REACTION TO THIS BILL. ?
