I think she is referring to possibly LOWERING...sm - oldtimer

India's minimum wage is 115 Rs = $2.50 per hour. - Maybe she wants to undercut that rate!

The only people Bachmann cares about are - the rich, so it's probably (sm)

This is one of the reasons why I ask on this - board what SM

Absolutely repubs are not to you and me... - lka

You dont know what you are talking about. They ARE - moving overseas to avoid taxes!

Do you make over $250,000 a year.... why would you want her? - lka

I am a middle-class tax payer meaning when - tax returns are filed I owe

So a Bachmann salary cut will help you? - Go for it!

I concur. You think Bachmann gives a fig about the middle class, - by all means, go for it.

I actually don't think that any of them really see - what the middle class have

OK. So which GOP policies do you feel better "align" with - middle nd working class interests?

Where did you hear she is going to cut my pay? - that's a new one on me.

Recent MB quote: I would consider CHANGING minimum wage. - What her record tells us this means...

More past MB quotes (before she decided to run) on minimum wage: 

"Literally, if we took away the minimum wage—if conceivably it was gone—we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level." —Michele Bachmann, 1/26/05, Jobs, Energy and Community Development Committee, testifying against SF 3, a bill to raise the MN minimum wage and advocating the elimination of the minimum wage altogether..

"Many teenagers that come in should be paying the employer because of broken dishes or whatever occurs during that period of time. But you know what? After six months, that teenager is going to be a fabulous employee and is going to go on a trajectory where he's going to be making so much money, we'll be borrowing money from him." —Michele Bachmann, 1/26/05, explaining why teenagers should PAY EMPLOYERS FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING instead of receiving minimum wage.  With this in mind, MB used 64 "teams" of home-schooled kids to pass out flyers and make more than 6000 phone calls in 2006, and again in 2008.  The kids reported that, "some of them swore at us, but others were nice."    Hopefully, she at least deigned to pay them with a soda pop or some such thing for their efforts.  My guess is tht they got a nice shining red-white-and-blue campaign button for their efforts instead.  From what I recall, they missed school to supply her cmpaign with the free labor.      

"If we allow businesses to be prosperous and accrue capital, they’ll be giving their employees more than they can even begin to imagine. But when we continue to tie cement blocks on businesses (like the minimum wage) and constrain them, they can actually do less than their employees."  —Michele Bachmann, 1/26/05, testifying against SF 3, a bill to raise the MN minimum wage and explaining why it actually keeps wages and benefits lower.  Could someone please explain the logic behind this statement?  If the puny minimum wage CONSTRAINS business, how on earth can one make the leap that, if left to their own devices, corporations would shun bigger profits and pay "more than we can begin to imagine" when prospering?  Imagine is the key word here.   

"I was wondering, if most employers are already doing this anyway, isn’t minimum wage really just superfluous? Why do we even have one?" —Michele Bachmann, 1/26/05, Jobs, Energy and Community Development Committee, testifying against SF 3, a bill to raise the MN minimum wage, and advocating the elimination of the minimum wage altogether.  Yep.  Eliminating minimum wage on top of exploiting teenagers nd school kids for free labor. 

"If raising the minimum wage to $7.00 an hour is a good idea, that why dont we just raise it to $20.00 an hour, that must be even better." —Michele Bachmann, 1/26/05, Jobs, Energy and Community Development Committee, testifying against SF 3, a bill to raise the MN minimum wage, evidently a lame attempt at being facetious.  

I trust this sufficiently answers your question about where folks "get the idea" that MB is not talking about RAISING minimum wage when she talks about being willing to consider changing it.  We get it straight from the horse's mouth.     

I realize her stance on minimum wage, and there again, - how is she cutting my pay?

That's because you're not paid on an hourly basis. - DUH! nm

I'm glad you know how I get paid. My predominant job - I do get paid by the hour

See message. - sm

Wow. Suddenly this thread is all about you and only you. - Check out the first original post.

Since you blame Obama, precisely which taxes they are allegedly running from - did Obama levy?

Dead silence and no substantiation? - Just one question.

Thank you. I wish I could vote to "like" your post 10 times. - nm

Include me in that as well. - NM

Did you give them a chance to respond? - The person could be gone you know - nm

Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe they don't - get a lot of time to hang

Well, since you are here now, why not substantiate this - for your MIA compadre?

Still dead silence and no substantition after 3+ days.. - How much more time do you think

Do you really think if they lowered corporate - tax rate, the jobs would SM

Really? Have you talked to her? LOL. Most of her - supporters are middle class.nm

...and she is hoodwinking those gullible - "middle-class" supporters. nm

The middle class of today are the poor of - tomorrow. nm

LOL. Have you? - Her record speaks for itself.nm

Her words speak for themselves. - nm

The record does not fabricate, have a forked tongue or - talk out of both sides of its mouth.

No, but the candidate does. - nm

Yup. Glad to see we are on the same page. - nm

Let's talk about records... - hmmm

Bait and switch not my thing. MB record is - the issue at hand.

LOL! - hmmm

Setting the record straight.... - hmmm

Lets lower their pay to India wages. Then maybe they will be worth their paychecks - sick of these politicians or should I say crooks!

Now you got me going - lets turn the tables on them
