"Increasing The Minimum Wage
Four Republican-Controlled States VotedThis Week To Raise Minimum Wage.
Four states controlled by Republican legislatures -- Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota -- voted in Tuesday's midterms to raise the state-mandated minimum wage. As Huffington Post reported:

Voters in four red states approved ballot initiatives to raise their state minimum wages on Tuesday, sending another message to Washington that Americans support a higher wage floor.

Binding minimum wage referendums were on the ballot in Arkansas, Nebraska, Alaska and South Dakota on Tuesday, with polls suggesting ahead of election day that all would pass.

Arkansas voters approved their initiative by a 65-to-35 margin, according to early returns. The measure will increase the minimum wage incrementally to $8.50 per hour by 2017. Nebraska voters, meanwhile, approved their initiative, which will raise the minimum wage to $9 by 2016, by a 62-to-38 margin.

Alaskans voted by a 69-to-31 margin to raise their minimum wage from $7.75 to $9.75 an hour by 2016, and then peg it to an inflation index so that it rises with the cost of living. South Dakota voted 55-45 to raise their minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 next year. It will also be indexed thereafter. [Huffington Post, 11/4/14]

Several GOP Candidates Campaigned On Increasing Minimum Wage.As Slate noted, several Republican gubernatorial and congressional candidates, such as Rick Snyder (R-MI), Asa Hutchinson (R-AR), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), and Charlie Baker (R-MA) endorsed increasing the minimum wage. [Slate, 11/5/14]

Seventy Percent Of Americans Support A Federal Minimum Wage Increase. According to a September poll from The New York Times and CBS News, 70 percent of Americans support raising the minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10.10 per hour. [The New York Times, 9/15/14]

Health Care Reform
Americans Broadly Support Key ACA Provisions. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll conducted earlier this year found that individual provisions of the Affordable Care Act enjoy widespread bipartisan support: 77 percent of Americans agree with eliminating out-of-pocket costs for preventive services, 79 percent favor closing the Medicare "doughnut hole," and 56 percent approve of increasing the Medicare payroll tax on upper income brackets:''

Obviously the so-called "support" for Dim policies wasn't very strong, or the "support" would have shown up at the polls.

Action speaks louder than words Franco, no matter how you try and spin it.
 
see sig. Pure unknown to Pub dupe fact.

No facts in the sig...just bullshit.



Wacko's sig lines are some of the best comedy around.
Every one linked fact in pp1. Google them. We have terrible upward mobility, rich/poor wage gap, prison population, college costs, vacations, etc etc- worst in the modern world thanks to your bought off con men heroes.

. Our country is poorly informed period. Our media suqs, but every "generalization" I make is fact.. I'm tired of searching for links. We don't have a propaganda machine like the dupes. You have to go though ten+ pages of bs orgs to find truth, articles disappear etc. Not like your greedy idiot billionaiire financed misinformation disgrace.. Read my book.
 
This thread is really really sad and makes your side look like a sore loser. The American people keep going from Republican to Democrat and then back again. I wonder when they will learn that both parties suck? :D

The Democrats haven't had full control of Congress and the White House since the late 70's. There is more than enough evidence that Republicans since Nixon have screwed the middle class. Looking from the outside in, I have to wonder why the middle class continues to vote against their own best interest?

I have googled them and basically, what you call facts are twisted opinion pieces.
