   Would I be able to use the graphs in http://thefreeeconomy.com/?page_id=513 for a paper I am writing? I can’t get mine to work properly and yours illustrates the minimum wage idea easily. With proper citation, of course.

   I am writing a paper regarding minimum wage in my state. (land of the libs, connecticut (a/k/a the other california).

   I will check in here to see if it’s or you can email me. I won’t use them unless you say it is alright. Thanks

   Typical right wing garbage painting the economic policies of the Democratic Party and the Obama Administration as infantile and “out of touch with economic reality.” The pot is calling the kettle black in the most extreme way!

     Karl,

     You are correct in pointing out that the criticisms levied towards the Democrats by the Republicans is like the pot calling the kettle black. Both parties will inflate and spend the country into oblivion through their big government programs. The Republicans and Democrats are pretty much two wings of the same political party. One wing favors warfare and corporate welfare and the other wing favors warfare and social welfare. Neither are economically feasible.

     Now as far as the YouTube link goes, the gentleman in the video, Peter Schiff, is just calling it like it is. Schiff, along with other advocates of limited government and free markets, know that both parties are equally useless when it comes to economic policies. Check out his other videos and you’ll see that hes against big government politicians across the board. It just so happens that Obama and his administration was the target of his criticism. Substitute Obama with names such as Romney, Hillary, or Bush, you still get the same schtick.
