Papantonio: Right Wing Minimum Wage Lies
The following interview is from the May 5th episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. When you hear the words “minimum wage,” you probably think of high school kids working at fast food joints. But the reality is that more and more adults are having to work for minimum wage, just to be able to feed their families. Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio discusses the truth about minimum wage workers with Farron Cousins, executive editor of The Trial Lawyer Magazine and contributing writer for DeSmogBlog.com.
