A Vietnam veteran in Wisconsin will have to wait until next year to find out if Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) supports raising the minimum wage, after the Tea Party Congressman shut his door and drove away from the question.
Yesterday, in video flagged by CREDO SuperPAC, a constituent approached Duffy outside a meeting in Wausau and attempted to ask him a question about the minimum wage. Duffy told the man he’s already held his single yearly town hall, got in his car, shut his door, and drove away, leaving the veteran tried to shout his question through the car’s rolled up window.
‘I’m looking for something else, anything else,’ she said. ‘More hours. Better pay. Actual benefits.’
Remember Dave Cote? The CEO of Honeywell who thinks the corporate tax rate should be 0%?
Apparently he likes reporters about as much as he likes taxes…Not only does one of Cote’s henchmen accost reporter Mike Elk (of In These Times) to get the microphone away, but Elk also claims he was barricaded in a room.
If it was true that lower taxes for the rich and more wealth for the wealthy led to job creation, today we would be drowning in jobs.
