Thank you, God, for planting leftists in the life gardens of normal people. Leftists are here for our pleasure, and for that noble cause, we regularly water them. Almost daily, they make us titter with their sputtering attempts at propagandizing.
But sometimes they make us sputter.
Preposterousness is a foundational value of the Los Angeles Titanic, and they made even corpses chuckle with the lead editorial in Sunday’s edition cheering Mayor Daffy D. Garcetti’s error-strewn minimum wage scam.
In more than a hundred years of trying and flopping, not one American leftist has managed to cobble together an adult justification for imposing a minimum wage on us helpless, wing-flapping peasants.
Most leftists are motivated by the overarching value of performing deeds to make themselves feel better — not to upgrade mankind.
Few leftists are in business – else they would not by chasing a minimum wage law like a blind pig attempting to uncurl his tail.
Sunday’s Titanic editorial—ludicrously, abstractly labeled “an important safety net protection for the working poor” – heaved a wheelbarrow full bogus concepts they know are not true at their shrink-wrapped sycophantic readership.
My favorite punchline, that would not fly even among the Buford, Ky, intelligentsia, was this tomato:
“More than a half-million workers in L.A. would get a raise, and 97 percent of those are breadwinners in their 20s and older.”
That may be a larger lie than President Obama’s gem dandy, “You can keep your healthcare if you like it.”
