Linda McMahon Won't Rule Out Lowering the Minimum Wage

How can somebody say to lower min wage but not know how much it is???????Lets not vote for her. I cannot believe that she made it this far.

The only people who work for minimum wage are teenagers and people with a second job. If you're trying to eek out a living on minimum wage, I feel for you, I really do. That can't be easy. I saw a statistic a while ago that the median family income (and yes, I know that median is not the same as mean) for minimum wage earners was a little over $60,000 per year. It sounds unbelievable, but it's really not if you take into consideration that most people working for minimum wage are young (living with their parents) or working a second job. Working for minimum wage sucks, but it's taken too far in many context and used as political fodder for the class warfare populists. I personally don't have a problem with rich people. They earned the money. The idea that you got rich by stealing from somebody else is complete BS. The majority of "rich" people in the US (and the threshold for what is considered wealthy drops all the time) worked hard, had a tolerance for risk and struck when the opportunity arose. They should pay their fair share, but they shouldn't be targeted for punitive taxation. In other words, don't punish the productive or they will stop producing. When is the last time a poor guy gave you a job?

One in seven Americans live below the poverty now so we can lower the minimun wage and get it to one in two. As long as we help the rich get richer with their taxes and companies shipping jobs overseas we can get it done. If the voters are stupid enough to refuse to look at what the Republicans have done to this country with Reagan, Bush I and Bush II they will deserve what they get.

I'd give her a pass on the minimum wage amount. The only ones who know exactly how much it is are the ones who work for it. What I do know is this: the minimum wage is not the same thing as a living wage. If we want to call ourselves the richest country in the world and the best country in the world we should maybe start acting that way instead of acting like a bunch of narcissistic pinheads with bipolar disorder.

Linda McMahon won't rule out lowering the minimum wage because like many republicans her main goal is to help the wealthy. The major concern of republicans is more tax cuts for the rich and deregulation of big wealthy corporations. For republicans it is all about helping the rich make more money.

I have a better idea,lets cut ALL DC salaries by 75%-starting with the president all the way through congress-stop spending on chickens, crickets,field mice and just about everything else coming out of Washington-Jeez people it is not rocket science

Bottom line; if you don't know what minimum wage is, don't discuss it. McMahon shouldn't claim minimun wage should be lowered if she has no clue what she's talking about. For all she knows, minimum wage could be a nickel. It doesn't matter what really should be done (although I do NOT approve of lowering minimum wage). She still has no place to comment on the subject.

Wow is all I can say. Can you imagine the poor guy working 10 plus hours a day on minimum age coming into work and being told his pay was cut because a maniac like this was voted into office. If she wasn't so ignorant I would laugh at her but instead its just sad. Truth is minimum wage should be at least 10.50 an hour.

Keep in mind that $7.25 or $8.25 is not their take home wage! Obviously, this woman has never had to live on that amount. So, maybe I could offer her a cardboard box and tell her where the nearest dumpster is.

I am no supporter of Obama or Dems one-solution spend-happy rule right now, but is this woman out of her ever-loving mind? Lets see her live on $7.25/hour for a year, then she can run again when she understands a little better what the real world is like. Because she just blew her chances of winning this time around.
