She is the poster child for stupid, and is wasting no time in the enhancement of that portrait. To think the same fools that will vote for her, will be voting for NYS Governor, Senator, Assemblymen and attorney general.

IDK how that 15.00 would work, seems it would kill a lot of NICE small businesses. I remember nice car parts places who sold QUALITY GOOD BRAND PARTS, then came along autozone, advance auto etc... with super low prices for JUNK parts, And put the quality part places out. Then all they need to do once the quality part places are out of business is just raise there prices, for JUNK PARTS...

Sadly forcing wages up through the threat of governmental force does not work. It is horrible that certain levels of income are no longer really a living wage, but the best solution I have seen so far, is education and innovation.

When wages are forced up, companies simply pass the expenses onto the consumer, thus the cost of living goes up along with the wage. At thew same time, everyone making above minimum wage, gets a proportional decrease in quality of life due to the increased cost of living, especially those making a little over minimum wage.

With this in mind, I feel that these are issues which ca be solved with information, for example, increased transparency when it comes to what makes up the price of the things they buy, typically when information like that gets out, companies tend to lower prices because market perception of the pricing changes.

If regulation is reduces, this also allows prices to be further reduced. When the inefficiencies of federal regulations which do not improve product safety or quality, are taken away, it becomes easier to achieve a lower cost of living, which in turn improves the quality of life for all people.

Nope, now there's where your wrong. Qui Bono? Who benefits? when wages are forced up Uncle Cuomo makes more $$. when prices go up , Uncle Como Makes more money. Its blatant thievery from the government of the working class, otherwise known as socialism.

Which side of the fence?
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!


If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.


If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.


If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.


If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
If a Democrat is down-and-out he wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
A Democrat demands that those they don't like be shut down.


If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
If a Democrat decides he needs health care, he demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".
