A person who is truly able to critically think for themselves knows that King Hillary could easily demand that any vendor providing service pay their employees whatever rate she wants. Democrats had no issue doing this when they held their convention in Charlotte in 2012. NC is a non-union state, yet the Democrats would not do business with any company which did not have union labor. Guess what, lots of places got unions.

Stop being blinded by party dogma and do some thinking for yourself. Next time, you can leave off the "I'm Not a Hillary Supporter" disclaimer. Nobody believes that though it's quite understandable.

Dear Heart, you quoted me, so I responded. In regards to your history, it's irrelevant as well.

We already covered this. I completely agree with you about the man part.

King Hillary is masculine than any of the girly men in the DNC who won't run against her in the primary. They cower in her presence.

I just love that you call her "King" as opposed to "Queen." Not sure if this is some kinda passive-aggressive misogynistic statement or a compliment?

I chose to view it as a compliment.

I'm not crazy about Hillary because she has the same backers as some hypothetical Republican,
but fair is fair.
Once again, all she would need to do is tell her organization to put a clause in the contract for any suppliers that they must pay their employees an hourly rate of $15. It's a very simple matter.

That's impossible. The Republican agenda is too mean-spirited and sycophantic to corporate America to consider raising the minimum wage.

No, it's because conservatives know that raising the minimum wage does nothing for the people at the lowest end of the income spectrum. It's like trying to grab yourself by the hair and lift yourself off the ground. It doesn't work.

If it were to actually work, why don't the Democrats call for a minimum wage of $35 an hour moving everyone into the middle class? Please answer.

But only paying $10/hour for valets to park cars at her "ordinary Americans" fund-raising event.
It's how these people roll, do as they say, not as they themselves would ever do. They claim the rich need to pay more taxes, then the use every trick in the book to get away with not paying taxes. she is a fraud, plain and simple. She lies, purposely misleads and talks out both sides of her mouth.

Anyway, I tip valets $2 or $3 each time. I assume they, as in this event, ended up with pretty good money.
^^^ This.
