It was a bad law that the Dems passed.
Pretty much closed all avenues for any raise in wages except at the state level.
Not even any requirements to review annually nor is there any COLA increased in there either.
Walker has had a Republican controlled state senate and state assembly for basically his entire term. He's had carte blanch to enact his entire agenda.
If he wins re-election, I expect Wisconsin to be a southern style "right to work" state, which should make many here on this forum extremely happy.
Then why do the Democrats still try to block his progressive agenda? Didn't some AG lay false charges against him recently? Why are the Democrats up there so radical? Can't they support the Gov?
So a kid with a paper route must be paid enough to pay the rent for an apartment, pay the utilities, buy food, pay the heat bill (which gets high in Wisconsin in the winter)... and now pay for Obamacare on top of it all?
If a state enacts a law that is completely impossible to fulfill, does the Governor still have a responsibility to enforce it?
Gov forces business to pay let's say for argument 15.00 to work at McD's . Now you have already expensive hamburger and I thinking I can get a meal at Chilles's with a adult beverage for the same price. for the same cash.
This law is vague at best and no has defined a livable wage yet.
Why are these minimum wage people content in staying in a lower job. Something wrong with that picture. Most big box like Wal-Mart and Target pay 12.00 a hour. Even Walgreens.
When minimum wage is below the poverty level, we tax payers will pay to provide these people with food stamps, healthcare, earned income credit, etc..... Meanwhile the CEO of McD's is raking in more than he can spend. Something wrong with that picture?
