What a total scumbag. We need to get these "paid for" idiots/ass*oles out of politics. Must be nice being in the 1% gang. Vote his ass out of office and get someone who actual cares about the human race.

What Republicans are SUPPOSED to say when someone mentions raising the minimum wage is that Democrats want EVERYBODY to work for the minimum wage and Republicans want people to get MORE than the minimum wage and that can't happen because business can't afford to pay their employees because they're overtaxed and over regulated by Big Government.

I'll argue against him getting it. The firing was caused by his poor performance, and he doesn't have a union to fight for him.

We need a living wage, not a minimum wage. Minimum wage basically means that if employers could pay you less, they would. That said, Scott Walker still sucks.

Just what and who they are voting for...then Scottie can try unemployment and maybe if he's lucky, a Minimum Wage Gig...yeah, that's the ticket.

"Can someone live on the minimum wage?" Because, as he knows full well, the answer is "no". Yet he opposes raising the minimum wage.

He also does not state the reason for having a minimum wage: If there wasn't one, some employers would pay less.
