WUT? Mika told Rep. Keith Ellison she would join his demonstration to raise the minimum wage today

[CTyankee]

on Morning Joe. Joe told her she was forbidden from doing that. It was kind of fun, actually. Joe went into a real parody of the RW arguments against raising the minimum wage...I think even HE knows that game is over...

It was an enjoyable segment this morning...

1. With the mountains of wealth that some people have, there really is no other reasonable position.

2. I was surprised, tho. Joe is so off the wall on so many things but here he seemed to "get it."

The only big thing he still doesn't get is how labor unions have, and can again, make income equality come back even for those workers not in unions. Once we lost the power of our unions, all workers lost their leverage in the job market. How the hell does he expect wages to become more equal WITHOUT unions?
Hell, both Joe and Mika are union members...

3. Joe grew up in Alabama, I don't think he "gets" the whole union thing

4. It must burn his ass to have to belong to AFTRA-SAG so he can do his gig every day...
