Dudley's 'training wage"

Last week we saw that Chris Dudley's plan to pull Oregon from the economic brink was nothing more than extending tax cuts to Oregon's wealthiest: basically, the same tired old refrain that Republic Party zombies are moaning all over the country as they continue their tireless quest to march backward.

A recent video features Dud suggesting that "it doesn't make sense" that waitresses should be bringing home tips on top of their minimum-wage incomes, suggesting instead a "training wage".

Here's a vid showing folks' reactions to this insipid message

I only hope that Dud's next photo-opp in a café ends with him getting a cup of hot coffee in his lap.

1. Well of course we should cut minimum wage while cutting taxes for the wealthy!

How can we expect minimum wage earners to ever dream of being millionaires if they already make enough money to eat every once in a while?
