I remember him from back in 2000 -- "Crossfire" with the Tucker boy with the bowtie...

Sad to hear he's stopped thinking.

As the cost of living is quite different between various states!

These talking head can't ever seem to make an actual factual point EVER!

Here's a handy comparative calculator!
What $15 buy in one place is quite different in what it buys in another....talk about income inequality!

The Democrats in the Senate have the $12/hr minimum wage going nowhere.

Sanders says he has a bill for $15/hr - that's more likely?

And then we have the real world:

Birmingham, Alabama, raised the city’s minimum wage to $10.10 an hour on Tuesday. Two days later, the state took it away.

Alabama passed a bill Thursday, largely along party lines, that bars cities and counties from raising the minimum wage or requiring employers to provide leave or other benefits. Because the law applies retroactively, it wipes out Birmingham’s raise.

Republican legislative leaders fast-tracked the bill in order to pass it before Birmingham’s raise was set to take effect March 1. The GOP enjoys super-majorities in both houses. Within an hour or so of the bill’s passage, Gov. Robert Bentley (R) announced he had signed it.

Hillary is exactly right! Get $15 where you can. It won't come out of a Republican Congress. Or Red States.

Get real, Bernie!

Negotiated wages by city classifications for many years, NY gets a higher wage than those in other states.

Can't listen to either one of them. Besides spending time selling their various books, all they do is idolize BS. Neither one of them turn a critical eye on the many weaknesses of the BS campaign.
