Reply #105: I think the only thing I actually agree with him on is indexing Minimum wage with inflation... [View All]

of course, I actually think this is half-hearted at best, I'm more interested in creating a federal living wage, one that isn't a hard number, but is instead calculated by determining the differing costs of living across the nation. The wage would be local, to reflect the differing costs of living involved. A worker in New York would have a higher living wage than someone working in Kansas, but both would be able to LIVE off of their respective wages. That's what we should be working towards.

ON EDIT: I should clarify, this is the only item on his economic agenda that I support, on most social issues, he's OK, excepting the War on Drugs, where he takes a centrist position of supporting Medical Marijuana but not total decriminalization or legalization, and on GLBT rights, he opposes Marriage Equality, which is a huge problem for me.
