Leftist like to paint conservatives as unfeeling towards the plight of the poor.

It's not that us conservative types are cold-hearted, we just look at the cold-hard facts.

The Elders of Seattle seemed to have overlooked those "...stubborn things..." when they decided to jack-up the minimum wage to $15/hour.

Already, Emerald City is losing its luster as businesses downsize or relocate altogether.

Either way, the ones who will be most affected will be the same people the wage hike was suppose to help.
