Comment on Christie: Income inequality isn't the problem, so stop talking about the minimum wage

Christie: Income inequality isn't the problem, so stop talking about the minimum wage

Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) Asked by reporters to follow up on his "I'm tired of hearing about the minimum wage" comments, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was careful not to provide another "I'm tired of hearing about the minimum wage"-type headline. But he remained as wrong and dishonest as ever on the issue, continuing to ignore the fact that the average age of minimum wage workers is 35 and that 27 percent of them have children of their own, instead framing his opposition to a minimum wage increase around parents sitting at the kitchen table having greater aspirations for their children than for those children to earn a higher minimum wage. The problem, according to Christie (video below the fold), is that "all the Democrats and the president want to talk about is the minimum wage." If only the Democrats and the president would just shut up, millions of low-wage workers would stop noticing that they couldn't pay their bills, I guess.
