Kennedy Losing it in the Senate

I posted on this already but I thought it was interesting to listen to Kennedy blather on about the minimum wage when he knows exactly why the Republicans are trying to help the small business owner to bear the burden of government sponsored extortion.



I know that left think that Republicans are cold hearted for standing in the way of people being paid a fair wage, the problem is that the Republicans understand how business works and it's simplistic to think that businesses will pay a worker more than they are worth. Compassion comes with a price and it is usually the loss of jobs. The Republicans are actually trying to help the small businesses to retain workers.

BTW, Kennedy talks about how long it was taking to get to a vote, well the poor could have had their minimum wage increase in August if it weren't for the Democrats.
