David Nicklaus must assume that everyone who reads the Post-Dispatch makes as much or more than he does. In his most recent article:
Still, voters seem to decide these things based on emotions, not economics.
I just gotta ask - who's economics are we basing this off of? Because for a quarter million Missourians, this is definitely about economics. Its about $40 dollars more a week to put gas in the tank to get to work. An extra $160/month just may be enough that they can quit that second minimum wage job they got.
We can expect a lot of pie-in-the-sky rhetoric about why raising the minimum wage would be bad this year from David Nicklaus. Has he ever supported a minimum wage increase? Ever?
