They want me to sign the petition to increase it.
The big quote:

"Increasing the minimum wage would result in a $22 billion increase in economic activity, and lift nearly a million Americans out of poverty."

They do not explain how that happens. Anybody got a source to that economic theory?

I'm taking a guess that the source is warm, dark, and full of shite.

What the hell? Shifting money around does not equal "an increase in economic activity".

Was Obama taught economics by a sassafras stump?

Ask 'em how come they misspent 100 billion dollars (their numbers not mine)and 500 billion over the last five years?

Who cares about a paltry 22 billion anyway?

Yes, it's on a used napkin somewhere in Obama's bottom drawer.

Sounds like Nancy Pelosi sunning herself on the Good Ship Lollipop during the 4th of July recess.

Why stop at min wage workers? According to his "logic", government could just arbitrarily set everyone's wages ~20% higher and the economy would boom.

fricking idiot.
