That assumes a Just World view, which is quite a stretch given what we know about human nature. Our country previously had no minimum wage and there were good reasons why we decided to implement one.

I totally understand that, the same as I understand there was a need for unions 100 years ago, but things change, needs change and we are living in a different world. I still feel supply and demand would possibly result in higher wages in some cases.

The Republican National Committee is now worried that Wisconsinites aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Talk about a major insult to Cheesehead Nation!

WI governor, Scott Walker, has nothing to run on!

When has having nothing to run on stopped any politician on either side of the aisle from running?

Now Walker is whining about not having enough money to run on.

It's do or die for Walker if he still has any Presidential hopes left.
He has to win this one to be a legitimate contender in 2016, and it's looking like this election is going to be a lot closer than the failed Walker recall of 3 years ago. As of today, he only holds a 2.2 lead- not much for an incumbent!
