Trickle-down will be a success but raising the minimum wage, an economic disaster. [View all]

My apology for the meta-ish op but spare me, there isn't ONE INSTANCE where conservatives have been correct regarding economics or anything else for that matter.

I find the "Oh no! $15 is too high!" (paraphrasing) OPs very amusing. Trickle down has proven to be total bullshit... which can only mean that raising the minimum wage will work wonders. Hence the need to fight to the death to make sure it never comes to be.

Let me say, if there's one thing that conservatives actually conserve, it is MISERY. Not one redeeming success, not one positive contribution to humanity since Eisenhower.

Give it up already!

Happy Saturday.
