What a laugh, "Heritage Foundation". You truly are a twit, Bunn. Why not the
Cato Institute if you want right wing economic statements unbacked by any
scientific data?????
Raising the minimum wage has never had any of the effects claimed by the
Heritage lies. In fact, studies, based in the real world, have shown them to
be fabrications.
But that's OK keep spouting the clueless right wing drivel, it suits you.
You are an idiot.
