Dems believe guns and minimum wage neatly showcase GOP’s unwillingness to tackle the country’s problems: t.co/DvUnH8mDOs

@theplumlinegs listen to yourself.. Because others don’t agree they don’t care about the country? Really? Sad……

@jrubinblogger @theplumlinegs As if gun control and a higher minimum wage are actually a solution to anything. Even sadder: some believe it.

@joelpollak dumb knee jerk response. if you say, “that won’t solve everything” to every proposal offered, people will stop listening
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) February 21, 2013
@theplumlinegs No I actually believe those proposals will make things worse. And my view is grounded in evidence, not “knee jerk” as you say

@joelpollak Oddly, cops think gun laws would make them safer; & workers think min wage hike would be good for them. but what do they know?

@theplumlinegs Oddly, doctors were against Obamacare. That dodgy tactic cuts both ways and is weaker than argument based on evidence.

@joelpollak for every study you cite “proving” your case against min wage, I can cite one that shows opposite.
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) February 21, 2013
@theplumlinegs Well, now we’re getting somewhere. Offsetting studies better than none. But if you’re right, why stop at $9? Why not $10 $20?
— Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) February 21, 2013
@joelpollak Because $20 would be unreasonable? At a certain point you need real arguments. That one is nonsense.
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) February 21, 2013
@theplumlinegs It’s not nonsense. You implictly accept higher min wage will at some pt cost jobs. Does govt know what that point is for all?
