The SEIU has a clever new ad up:
Via Too Sense. The irony is that, to the extent that it's misleading, it's because it's being too nice to President Bush. Tough for Republicans to go out and remind everybody that President Bush spent most of his tenure as an avowed opponent of increasing the minimum wage.
However increasing the minimal wage works politically it has been shown over and over and over again that it limits the employment opportunities of teenagers and low productivity workers. This prevents them, particularly teenagers, from learning the crucial skills of working and the satisfaction of earning a paycheck.
