New York City Democrats propose phony “living wage” bill
BLOOMBERG IS AN ADVOCATE FOR OPEN BORDERS, AMNESTY AND NON-ENFORCEMENT TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED WITH HORDES OF ILLEGALS!
Though Bloomberg is no doubt sincere when he denounces the slightest infringement on the prerogatives of giant corporations, it should also be noted that he and Democrat Quinn have enjoyed the closest relations in her six years as Council speaker. As Quinn positions herself for the 2013 election for mayor, she and her advisers see the need to put a little distance between herself and man who personifies the banking and corporate plutocracy. Her “living wage” fraud, along with Bloomberg’s predictable attacks, enables her to do just that.
There is another major ingredient in the plans to market Christine Quinn as a “friend” of the low-wage worker. The trade unions, an integral part of the Democratic Party apparatus in New York and nationally, are singing the praises of the “reform” announced by Ms. Quinn. Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, said he was pleased and accepted all the exemptions in the bill. Appelbaum, touted as a new breed of “labor leader,” has the closest of ties to the Democrats and the big business government as a whole.
