Better headline: minimum wages in US 50% above Walker's WI mandate

Take a look at this story in The New York Times - - 
Because of a string of moves by states and cities in recent years, the effective average is almost at $12 an hour. 
And remember that not only did Walker rigidly keep the Wisconsin, bottom-rung minimum hourly wage where it remains at $7.25 while other jurisdictions boosted it, he stripped the concept of "a living wage" from the state budget (law)and ridiculed the entire concept of a minimum wage while he was earning roughly ten times more at $144,000+ a year. 

But don't worry: His Twitter feed shows he's feeding himself well.


Late night dinner!
