Hannity Doesn’t Believe In The Minimum Wage – Because We’re Better Off Working All The Time

Multimillionaire Sean Hannity thinks that if people are guaranteed a minimum wage, they’ll just get in trouble and never aspire to anything higher.

In an Ask Sean segment with Fox’s Dagen McDowell last night, Hannity was asked about raising the minimum wage.

HANNITY: I don’t believe in a minimum wage and I’ll tell you why.

If I wasn’t working, I would have all that time. I worked all the time and that kept me away from my dopey friends and all the trouble that I was getting into in the free time that I had left.

In other words, Hannity thinks people working at low-paying jobs are losers and God only knows what they’d do if they had free time.

One percenter Hannity also apparently thinks that earning slave wages is the only thing that would propel those low-paying losers into the ranks of the decent.

HANNITY: Look, the experience that somebody gets working a job is invaluable. You learn to deal with people, a work environment. That experience will be able to be transferred to other aspects of your life. It is so important that you get along with people and learn to deal with people. I’m against the minimum wage!

…Listen, we’ve gotta aspire to something beyond the minimum wage. Developing marketable skills, an education and producing things that people want, need and desire, goods and services. That simple.

Yeah, simple. I’d love to know the last time Hannity actually talked to somebody earning minimum wage about what it’s like and how they live.

By the way, while Hannity thinks a guaranteed wage for other people is such a bad idea, he doesn’t have a problem with it for his own self. But no $15 an hour chump change is good enough for him. According to Bloomberg, Hannity’s speaking fee is $100,000, which I figure comes out to about $50,000 an hour. Not counting the private jet which is also part of the package.

See just how out of touch Hannity is, below, from the November 12 Hannity.

Well hell, why pay us at all? Think how safe we’d be in our slave quarters under 27/7 watch. Good point Manitee.

This reminds me of when rep.J.Kingston (r-ga.)was lecturing about how people demanding overtime pay should stfu and just be happy they have a job. These people were working as much as 80 hours a week.

Then Kingston started whining when then Speaker Pelosi demanded that congressmen show up to work a grueling 3 days a week.

“If I wasn’t working, I would have all that time. I worked all the time and that kept me away from my dopey friends and all the trouble that I was getting into in the free time that I had left.”

So…he’s against raising the minimum wage because he’s admittedly an asshole? That makes sense.

Hannity is getting paid way too much. Anyone with a pompous attitude and bloated head could do his job for way less.

If Long Island Lolito, Hannocchio wants a reduction in pay the Fox “News” suits will be more than happy to reduce his salary. Of course, if they did that this aging old hawk would have a meltdown and tell the suits he’s worth more. He would run to Nixon Trainee Ailes’ office and demand more money.

The Stop Hannity Express has words of wisdom for the suits.

Hannocchio is too old to draw young demographics. A majority of his audience are past the 25-54 demographics. He’s needs to be replaced by that new blond broad who could triple ratings in one month. He wants to leave New York. Let him go!

NOTE TO HANNITY

Does your “dopey friends” include John Gomez? Yeah, it does.

History undeniably shows that higher minmum wage always is accompanied by higher employment. NewsHounders please read James K. Galbraith or related economists for the long list of facts, and great economic philosophy with a social conscience. Hannity is lying, and he either knows it, or he is really stupid. It is irrefutable, so Fox is spinning as usual. Propaganda, propaganda. Turkeys goebbeling.
