President Obama is considering using his executive authority to raise the minimum wage for federal contractors, he told Senate Democrats during a closed meeting at the White House.
How likely is it there is a single federal contractor making minimum wage?

He "has a pen.... and a phone" says he.

I believe he is ready to give himself the title of King or Grand Glorius Leader or something close.

Who the heck does this clown think he is?

Along with Davis Bacon wages?

Another piece of empty rhetoric from an empty headed president. This guy is really, really stupid.

The Davis-Bacon Act as amended, requires that each contract over $2000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for the construction, alteration, or repair of public buildings or public works shall contain a clause setting forth the minimum wages to be paid to various classes of laborers and mechanics employed under the contract.

So how little does a downtrodden peoples laborer earn when working on say a construction project in Alexandria, Virginia?

LABORER: Mason Tender - (this is a brick laborers helper)

Cement/Concrete $20.88/hr plus $6.47/hr in fringe benefits for a total of $27.35/hr which we must all agree is not a living wage and should be raised. Think about it, could anyone live on $1,094.00 for a 40 hour week?

Or how about a Roofer who earns $26.90/hr in wages and $10.18 in fringe benefits for only $37.08 for only $1,483.20 for a 40 hour work week? Slavery I tell you, slavery!

Too bad dictator Obama couldn't put forth policies that made it an employees market in turn increasing competition and pay rates.

He IS Dear Leader.......the Stinkocrats would follow this genius over a cliff.

If Bush was pulling half the **** that Mr. Hussein has.....they would be calling for the UN to come onto American soil and take him into custody.
