Speaker 1: Washington District of Columbia is as liberal as any American city.
Speaker 1: In two thousand and sixteen, they voted for Hillary just
Speaker 1: to give you an idea. I mean, it's a liberal paradise, supposedly,
Speaker 1: so this news is amusing. Less than a month ago,
Speaker 1: Washington voters approved a big minimum wage increase for people
Speaker 1: who get tips as part of their income. The vote
Speaker 1: guaranteed a minimum wage of fifteen bucks an hour by
Speaker 1: twenty six by which time a lot of residents will
Speaker 1: have died. But the DC City Council has decided the
Speaker 1: voters were wrong. You see, in the poorest areas, the
Speaker 1: unemployment rates over nine percent. That's way worse than the
Speaker 1: rest of the country. So the city council liberals, they
Speaker 1: looked at what happened to Seattle. They raised a minimum wage,
Speaker 1: a bunch of restaurants closed, a bunch of jobs were lost.
Speaker 1: So the Washington City Council decided they didn't want to
Speaker 1: have any jobs lost. It's bad enough as it is,
Speaker 1: so less than a month after it was approved, these
Speaker 1: liberals are gonna kill the minimum wage increase. They'd rather
Speaker 1: have jobs. They'd rather have people working than talking points.
Speaker 1: It does don't happen often, sometimes even liberals have to
Speaker 1: face reality. But I predict they'll screw this up somehow,
Speaker 1: because they never get it right in the end.
