Forbes, a free-market advocate who advised Rick Perry's campaign before the Texas governor quit the race last month, said the minimum wage lowers employment among young people who need to build job skills. "So in the name of showing his compassion, he hurts the opportunities for those who need it the most," Forbes said of Romney.
Dick Armey, the former Republican House Majority Leader who leads the influential small-government advocacy group FreedomWorks, told Yahoo News that Romney was "wrong" on the issue. "The fact of the matter is, when you look at the economic truths surrounding the minimum wage, higher mandated wages ultimately lead to job loss," Armey said.
And Newt Gingrich, Romney's leading rival for the nomination, said Sunday on Meet the Press that "virtually every economist in the country believes that [indexing the minimum wage to inflation] further makes it difficult for young people to get a job."
That's where compassionate conservatives show their Social Darwinian & Messianic essence. Bastards think that sweet baby Jesus entitled them with with lesser fit folks to exploit and minimum wage is abomination of Godly mandate to prey on the desperate ones. The less peanuts lesser fit ones are "willing" to work for the better. Apparently, cheap labor entitlement affected Conservative brains, they think that work for the sake of work (for the chosen ones) is the best thing since an apple pie. With this kind of mentality the anointed ones will be charging us to work for them pretty soon.
I can create jobs right now, right here $.10 cents/hour. And I'm pretty sure there are some people desperate for a bowl of Ramen 2 hours of their work could buy. That's conservative agenda in a nutshell - matching wages of majority with absolute survival minimum. If you are a working class guy tuning to Rush and voting for the people whose sole mission in life to exploit you for less, and less and less, what's your problem?

My thoughts exactly. Why the hell would working class Americans vote for people who would have them without insurance and making just enough for a meal a day Republicans have never and do not now have any interest in my education or medical needs.Believe me I know. If you can live in the wealthiest part of town and then allow the people who work for you to live in dire poverty right in front of your face and then count on their children to do the same so they can afford you that life. You are a teapublican all the way.
