The Only Thing That's Amazing About This Minimum Wage Debate In Iowa

Is that it isn't being raised in EVERY debate in EVERY state. Leave it to Democratic Party strategists to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Sometime between now and November (the sooner the better!) EVERY Republican candidate should be asked:

What would you do with the federal minimum wage if elected?
Vote to raise it? Or vote to LOWER it?
Do you even believe there SHOULD be a minimum wage, or do you believe in magical free-market faeries that would lower the cost of a house to $100 if only we were to eliminate it?
