WHERE DO THEY COME UP WITH THIS STUFF?

Oh yeah, conservative liars tell them. Our slope-browed friend drclean hits us up with the knowledge:

drclean: karl,,no man with a family of 4 is on minimun wage,,,they are starting wages for high school people

Hmm. I wonder...

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about half of all hourly-paid workers earning $5.15 or less were under age 25, which means half of them are OVER 25. The BLS says that only about one-fourth were age 16-19. Also, the Economic Policy Institute says that more than one-third (35%) of the workers who would benefit from an increase to $7.25 are parents of children under age 18, including 760,000 single mothers.

I'll tell you, the only reason conservatives think what they think is because they "know" what they "know."
