Oh man, how I love these. Democrats will talk your ear off about how Republicans were corrupt and how they did shady deals with big business. They'll also tell you how they will run things honestly. Well it appears that that's not the case. Democrats want to exempt American Samoa and other outlying territories from the minimum wage law. It just so happens that there's a tuna factory that employs about 75% of the island population. That tuna's headquarters is in San Fransisco, which coincidentally is where Nancy Pelosi's home town is.
What makes this slightly funny is that Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, asks if America Samoa and other territories will be exempt from the stem cell research "just as it was for the minimum-wage bill." Of course that was shot down by Rep. Barney Frank.
Why would Democrats seek to exempt anyone from the minimum wage law? I thought that minimum wage wasn't enough to support a family on? Well obviously there's some people supporting a family on those kind of wages if 75% of the population works there. Don't Democrats want a better life for ALL American's, even those living on the outlying territories? Well if not, why not exempt Montana, or New York, or any other place that they deem unworthy of a raise in pay?
