Krauthammer: Raising Minimum Wage Is A Transfer Of Wealth From Poor People To Other Poor People

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: What this is is a transfer of wealth from some low-income earners to other low-income earners.

They're going to lose all of their income, and they're going to lose the first step on the

Mike Rowe: I Believe In Rewarding Work

ERIN BURNETT: Let's talk about the minimum wage because there's a huge fight in Washington going on about this. The president wants to raise it to $10.10 an hour. The CBO came out today, the government agency, and said, 'Look, if you do that, you have some jobs that go away but you will reduce poverty.' Do you believe that? Is raising the minimum w

Joan Walsh: The Future Is About Redistribution And People Dealing With Income Inequality

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let's take something that is easy for everybody to understand. Back in the '90s, Bill Clinton, I thought had the guts to come out for NAFTA.

Carney: "The Democratic Party Will Not Lose Control Of The Senate"

Sebelius: "Absolutely No Evidence" That Obamacare Causes Unemployment

KATHLEEN SEBELIUS: There is absolutely no evidence, and every economist will tell you this, that there is any job-loss related to the Affordable Care Act.

Obama Takes Credit For Increasing Gas Mileage, Decreasing Pollution In Cars

PRESIDENT OBAMA: So for decades, the fuel efficiency standards of our cars and trucks was stuck in neutral even as other kinds of technology leapt forward.

Krauthammer on Global Warming: "The President Pretends That This Is All Settled Science"

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Well, look, the president pretends that this is all settled, settled science. I mean, Newton's laws were considered settled for 200 years until a patent clerk in Switzerland turned them over with a single paper in 1903, and that was pretty settled science. The idea this is all settled is absurd. However
