Democrats discover wage hike can cost jobs

Republicans have consistently warned that minimum wage hikes cost jobs, A warning that democrats have consistently rejected as a cover for corporate greed to keep the little man down. Well recently the new goddess Pelosi managed to push through a minimum wage increase that covered all Americans except those working for a rather large corporation in her home district. This may look damning but Pelosi protested that she had not been lobbied for this rather glaring exception to the bill. Instead, the exemption was blamed on a all-powerful non-voting democrat delegate of the congress named Eni Faleomavaega. He must obviously be a republican mole since he requested the exemption because he felt it would devastate the local tuna industry.

Spokesmen for Pelosi and Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez, the author of the minimum-wage bill, said it excluded American Samoa at the request of nonvoting Delegate Eni Faleomavaega, a Democrat who represents the Pacific island territories in the House.

Raising the federal minimum wage would devastate the local tuna industry, Faleomavaega said in a statement last week, adding that American Samoa's economy is “more than 80 percent” dependent on Chicken of the Sea and StarKist.

I can only assume by these comments that minimum wage hike job losses only affect employees in democratic districts.

The problem will be resolved according to the democrats. They now say they will apply those wage hikes to everyone and destroy the tuna industry throwing thousands of working poor out of their jobs so as not to be seen as hypocrites.

There are two ways to read these events:

1. They did not believe it would cost jobs and the exemption was motivated by corporate pressure.

2. They did believe it would cost jobs and are now willing to sacrifice constituents’ livelihoods for political expediency.

Either way, those putting the democrats in power must be so proud.
