Debating Greg Sargent over Obama's gun control and the $9 minimum wage by Joel B. Pollak 21 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: Dems believe guns and minimum wage neatly showcase GOP's unwillingness to tackle the country's problems: t.co/DvUnH8mDOs — Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) February 21, 2013 @theplumlinegs listen to yourself.. Because others don't agree they don't care about the country? Really? Sad...... — Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) February 21, 2013 @jrubinblogger @theplumlinegs As if gun control and a higher minimum wage are actually a solution to anything. Even sadder: some believe it. — Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) February 21, 2013 @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 — Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) February 21, 2013 @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? — Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) February 21, 2013 @theplumlinegs Oddly, doctors were against Obamacare. That dodgy tactic cuts both ways and is weaker than argument based on evidence. — Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) February 21, 2013 @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? — Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) February 21, 2013 Comments
