Ideology Ad Absurdum Watch

Some fun stuff from our neighbors to the West.  Here's a taste:

Tom Emmer, the Republican Party's endorsed candidate for governor, raised the issue of $100,000-a-year servers Monday at the Eagle Street Grill, a hot spot when there's an event at the Xcel Center. Emmer, who believes that minimum wage workers who receive tips should have their minimum hourly wages reduced, said that the owner of the Eagle Street Grill told him that three of the restaurant's servers are taking home more than $100,000 a year.

If any of this is true, than good for them.  But even so, do we really need to punish all of them for the success of a few?

Maybe a Republican out there can explain to me why a CEO making $100K needs a tax cut but a waitress making $100K needs a wage decrease.

Let's hope someone on this side of the Mississippi/St. Croix starts talking like this...
