Clinton Caught By ABC on $12 Minimum Wage - Goes from Smiles to Frowns

If it wasn't bad enough that George Clooney warmly wrapped both arms around Bernie Sanders in his interview Sunday, NOW her old buddy Georgie called her on the carpet for, once again, saying one thing about minimum wage, and then something completely different, within mere months of each other.

I didn't understand the 'Camp Weathervane' comments until now. This flip flop just takes the cake.

The Fight for 15 movement calls for a NATIONAL $15 minimum wage.
They aren't called 'Fight for $15 - sometimes $12'

Anderson Cooper was right in asking if she'll say or do anything to get to the White House.

Probably expected to never follow thru. I have it on some campaign literature comparing candidates. Then a few days ago she allowed herself to get pushed to $15/hr. I do not believe her.

Does she really STILL not understand video technology? They had videotape a long time ago, now it's just digital. So she doesn't understand what the internet can do? Really?

because I was too busy cussing out Dana Dumbutt and John Dickheaderson trying their damnest to discredit Bernie with petty and deplorable 'GOTCHA' questions that he handled with ease. And they wonder why her numbers continue to plummet....Good for George, for once.

Such a mystery why so many people have such a hard time believing Hillary Clinton... Satire warning (below)

If she is going to lie, she may as well make it a big lie and pretend she had a better position than Bernie Sanders all along.

Hillary Clinton Now Supports $27 Federal Minimum Wage

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Today, Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced she supported raising the federal minimum wage to $27 an hour. Clinton's sole rival, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, accused her of lying, as well as stealing and magnifying his positions in order to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Hillary assured her supporters the minimum wage she supported would go back to $12, or perhaps lower, once Sanders had conceded the Democratic nomination to her.

The money raised was equivalent to wages for 600 people working a year at $12 an hour.

Notice how the politicians are very concerned about the minimum wage costing jobs, but never question how many jobs CEO compensations are costing. The banksters are a good example. They ran their businesses into insolvency and would not exist if it was for the bailout, yet they get $200 million or more in salary and bonuses. This is costing the equivalent of 8,000 minimum $12/hr wage jobs.
