They are just "proven facts" to your extreme right wingnut, oligarch supporting political POV, Dave. Meaning, they are NOT objectively, "proven facts'.

None of that is true. Just the opposite.

<
>> Just recently: Raising the minimum wage

But it has been shown conclusively, time and time again, that raising the minimum wage HURTS the earner as much as it does employer.

>> Tax increases.

Tax increases hurt everyone by killing economic growth. Again another proven fact.

The point here is that there are legitimate differences of opinion as to whether these actions are helpful or harmful to ordinary people. So, your perspective is that of a cynic.
