Alan Simpson Slams 'Hypocrite' Companies For Making Billions While Opposing $15 Min. Wage

[LiberalArkie]

Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson (R-WY) called out wealthy companies and conservative leaders as hypocrites over the weekend for refusing to support a $15 minimum wage even though corporations showed billions in profits each year.

Speaking to KULR in an interview that aired on Sunday, Simpson said that he had learned from visiting college campuses that young Americans were not interested in voting on traditional Republican social issues like abortion and same-sex marriage.

"They're very serious people and they don't care about the social issues," he noted. "Gay-lesbian issues are not even on their screen, and they're very accepting of others, which is great, I think."

According to Simpson, young people saw abortion as a "deeply intimate and person decision."

1. Wow. I actually agree with Simpson for once.

Sure didn't like him much after Bowles-Simpson and the grand bargain to slash Social Security.

3. Right, almost scary

when a R makes more liberal sense than some "D's" i know

Be interesting to see if he'll switch flags or if he'll use it to 'promote fake flag to youngsters for R'

Did the rep have a change of politics or is he just keeping his eyes open? either way even with an (R) i'm glad to see one more person noticing
