CNN contributor Kevin Madden, a former advisor and spokesperson for Mitt Romney (R), said on Sunday that Congress should not raise the minimum wage because it would deny people the “opportunity to grab that bottom rung of the economic ladder.”

During a panel segment on CNN’s State of the Union, host Candy Crowley observed that there was a “seriousness” to the recent protests at companies like Walmart and President Barack Obama’s call to raise the minimum wage.

Democratic strategist Donna Brazile pointed out that many Walmart employees were forced to rely on food stamps and other federal benefits because they were not paid a living wage.

Are these guys drunk when they do these Sunday shows?

These sick pugs need to live on Min wage for a month.

1. I would up that to living on min. wage for a year. They're so dense, it would take

a year for them to get the full benefit of not having anything.

2. Some of them would get it in a year. Wife suggested 10 years.

3. Wife got it right.

We want to make sure they get it.

Wouldn't want to deny them the opportunity to get it.

4. Even if the minimum wage is raised

It will still be the bottom rung. Maybe it won't be quite so far into the mud as it was before.

Where do people like that learn to think? What he says makes no sense. If the lowest paying job is such a great thing Id like to see him support his family on it.

5. The New America: Aim for the bottom

How low can you go?

6. Fuck you, you arrogant, condescending fuck. Fuck you and your class war.

That's all I got.

eta: apparently I had a bit more.

7. Yes, the "opportunity" to make capitalism work...for someone else.

Is it so wrong that I wish bellends like Kevin Madden were being lined up against bullet-pocked walls?
