Linda McMahon considers minimum wage reduction!

McMahon Doesn’t Rule Out Reducing Minimum Wage

"Republican U.S. Senate nominee Linda McMahon, accepted the endorsement of the small business organization, which doesn’t support increasing the federal minimum wage.

At a commercial cleaning contractor in East Hartford Thursday McMahon accepted the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business.

Asked if she endorsed the NFIB platform which includes opposition to any increase in the minimum wage, McMahon said it should be reviewed and didn’t rule out reducing it."

Linda McMahon is a neo-conservative/tea party candidate on economic issues.

7. And how they justify astronomical CEO pay
"We need to attract the best people to run the company. And the best people - like me - won't work for a penny less than $20 million or more a year." The folks who do the actual work and generate all that wealth? Fuck 'em, that's why.

8. Live on it? She didn't even know how much it was.
According to this, she laid off 10% of her work force, and takes home 46 million. She could have given every one of her wage-earners a dollar an hour raise, and not be reduced to 45 million herself.

Serious progressive taxation would get us pretty close to that.
