The California Senate primary is proving challenging for Rep. Barbara Lee.
The race already has the establishment Democrat candidate, Rep. Adam Schiff, and the obnoxious leftist candidate, Rep. Katie Porter, and Rep. Lee has been working overtime to get attention.
The Castro pal tried to play the victim by getting kicked out of a congressional hearing on Cuba and then she got desperate and proposed a $50 minimum wage.
As John Perrazo at Discover the Networks reports in the profile of Rep. Barbara Lee, when asked to provide "a specific number for what you'd like to see the federal minimum wage at," Lee replied that an acceptable minimum wage would be "$50 an hour.
"First let me say, I owned and ran a small business for 11 years. I created hundreds of jobs. Benefits, retirement benefits, also health care benefits. I know what worker productivity means, and that means that you have to make sure that your employees are taken care of and have a living wage," she claimed.
It's easy to pay a $50 per hour minimum wage when the taxpayers are the ones paying for it.
Consider how much California is currently paying for homeless services.
