No it isn't, Kenneth... You are angry simply because I have pointed out your hypocrisy. If you REALLY wanted to help the "working poor" you would be in favor of mandating a much higher minimum wage. Alas, the amount I have suggested cuts a little too close to your billing rate. You've achieved your current billing rate by virtue of the fact that YOU went to college and earned a degree. You've also had many years of experience. However, when the tables are turned by rewarding the "working poor" with a $200 hourly rate, you start to whine like a mule. Why is that? Are you tacitly stating that the MARKET should determine prevailing wages based on education, skill, and experience? Oops, your hypocrisy is showing... You are really very inconsistent with your argument. More importantly, you are extremely transparent by virtue of your parroting the party line with respect to minimum wage. This is a non-issue that the left uses to buy votes. Nothing more, nothing less. Diz-
