Scott Walker's Minimum Wage Admission

Wisconsin Governor and Koch Industries' junior executive-of-the-year Scott "Koch Head" Walker is in a tight re-election race with businesswoman Mary Burke.  Walker's been badly tarnished with official corruption and pay-to-play charges, but his support among his teahadist base is holding.  Perhaps that's why he felt he could "go Galt" with a comment that the current $7.25 minimum wage was an adequate living wage, and that a minimum wage doesn't "serve a purpose."  He attempted to recover by saying that he wanted people to make double or triple that, but his true position had already been stated.

With working families needing two or more jobs to get by on stagnant wages, and with the middle class losing ground to the likes of Walker's wealthy benefactors, it's an outrage that he dismisses calls for a higher minimum wage that would benefit tens of thousands of Wisconsin's citizens.  A $10.10 minimum wage would cover 7 months of rent for a Wisconsin worker, according to the White House.  If lower and middle income voters want to give Walker another term, they can't say that they didn't know his cavalier views on their economic struggles.
