Republican Dirty Politics

[Rocko]

Republicans once again show their contempt for the will of the people.

First to block the voters right to decide minimum wage, secondly by withdrawing their wage increase once the election was over and thirdly by preventing a popularly elected governor from enforcing the law

I support this measure 100%. It’s not dirty politics, it’s politics. Those referendums are vehicles of mob rule. Republicans have done a great job by protecting freedom in this case.

The referendums are legal and republicans did not act in good faith
They have squashed freedom in Michigan

So protecting the minority opinion is squashing freedom now? So what if they are legal? They shouldn’t be. By stating the obvious - that they are legal, you’re implying the republicans did something illegal, which both of us know they didn’t. The fact is republicans played by the rules and won. You’re going to have to suck it up and try to find another way to outdule them if you want your shitty legislation passed.

Minority is allowed their opinion

They are not allowed to force it on the majority through legislative slight of hand

Here is your minimum wage increase, now drop the referendum

Ooops..... there goes your minimum wage increase

Then voters have the option to vote those representatives out next election. Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

Exactimundo!

The law at its core is bad for business and bad for consumers. Smart people know this

You mean like with a witch hunt to destroy the candidate the voters elected?

I haven’t seen any witch hunt

I have seen multiple criminals in Trumps inner circle prosecuted

The law at its core is bad for business and bad for consumers. Smart people know this

Doesn’t excuse bypassing the will of the people to provide favorable legislation for business

Do you agree the voters were screwed?

Speaking of having no respect for the will of the people, what do you believe the Democrats are trying to do with this witch hunt against the Trump administration?

Your hypocrisy couldn't be more blatant.

What Democratic hunt?
Dems have no legislative or judicial power
A Republican Justice Dept appointed a Republican prosecutor to investigate Trump

Mueller is a lifelong Republican

Doesn’t mean he can’t co his job

He's the head of the anti Trumpers.

He is a federal prosecutor doing his job

Conservatives are not big fans of democracy in any form. Make no mistake, we are fighting monsters.

We're a Republic

Democracy is an obstruction to them

Block people from voting, disregard their vote

We're a Republic. Look it up

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Michigan voters pushed for a ballot initiative that raised minimum wage to $12 and mandated sick leave

So what did Republicans do?

They passed a law that raised minimum wage to $12 by 2022 with automatic increases and required employers to provide sick leave. Once they did this the ballot initiative was withdrawn

Once the election was over and before a Democratic Governor took over, Republicans pushed through a law changing the date of the $12 minimum wage to 2030 and removing inflation based increases and sick leave

Analysis | Why Michigan Republicans are working to undermine the minimum wage bill they passed

Kind of like the way Obama and the Democrats intentionally mislead the public about ObamaCare.

Dirty tricks and politics go hand and hand because the people allow it. I don't approve of how they went about this, but I'm glad they killed the law. The optimal minimum wage is the wage the market is willing to pay and the pay employees are willing to accept for the work performed. Government interference only distorts the market and Michigan's economy has been in the shitter for decades. The last thing they need is the government artificially raising the cost of labor.

He did a good job of finding Hillary loving lawyers.

They were completely open about Obamacare and held open meetings on it

Republicans always say minimum wage should be determined at the state level. Now they show why the Feds need to step in

That is not how a democracy works

In this case the Republicans used trickery to prevent any voter from saying yes or no
