Can you say “STUPID”? California Rep. Barbara Lee has to be one of the most stupid people the Democrats have elected to the House of Representatives.
The mental midget, Barbara Lee, has said that she would support a raise in the California minimum wage to $26 an hour!
As Businesses Flee Out-Of-Control CA Taxes & Regulations Brainless Liberal CA Rep Barbara Lee Calls for $26 Minimum Wage in California
Obviously, libtard Barbara Lee doesn’t know anything about the economy or creating jobs, as a $26 an hour minimum wage would cause a spike in California’s already high unemployment, and would cause more companies to flee California than are already doing so.
Many companies are already leaving regulation-choked California due to the over-the-top regulations and taxes that are very unfriendly to business in California.
In fact, over 158 companies that have left California so far this year!
“California is losing businesses at a 3:1 ratio and we’re not even through with the year yet,” – Business relocation coach Joseph Vranich
Toyota is the latest company to pull their operations out of California, which means the loss of 3,000 Californian jobs (about 5% of jobs in Torrance CA) and an annual loss of $1.2 million in tax revenue for California. Losses that will surely hurt the state of California, whether CA lawmakers will let you know that or not.
California lawmakers would try and have you believe that Toyota’s move, and the loss of many other businesses has nothing to do with out-of-control taxes and regulations, but this is just a liberal lie to stop the bleeding, and try keeping other businesses in state. Jerry Brown seemed to have no clue that Toyota was planning to abandon his state, and there is nothing he could have done, even if he did know.
“It’s a prime example of the state’s unfriendly tax code and business regulations that drive businesses out of the state,” – Allan Mansoor, Member of the state Assembly’s economic development committee
Back to brainless liberal CA Representative Barbara Lee. If she had her way and raised its minimum wage to $26 an hour, there would be no businesses or jobs left in California. Maybe that’s what she wants, in hopes that Obama will use Taxpayer money to bail California out as well.
One of the most liberal Representatives in Congress wants California to raise its minimum wage to $26 an hour.
Appearing on Crossfire on Friday, co-host Newt Gingrich asked Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) whether it was a good idea for the mayor of Seattle to propose a minimum wage of $15 an hour. Lee said, “good for him.”
“In California, more than likely from what I remembered, a living wage where people could live and take care of their families and move toward achieving the American dream was about $25, $26 an hour,” Lee said.
When pressed further, Lee said she would “absolutely” support it for California and claimed it would not cause more unemployment.
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) said he would also support California raising its minimum wage that high so companies would leave California and bring jobs to other states. Harris said “maybe even Maryland can get more jobs because they will leave California. They just did. Toyota left for Texas.”
