Chafee for progressive minimum-ism- how bold !

  " Governors unite on minimum wage " ( page A2, March 3, Providence Journal  ). And our own Governor Lincoln Chafee is a formidable voice in this  display of lion- hearted New Democrat progressivism- which slobbers over a still comfortable middle class and would like to forget the old New Deal base of FDR: the poor and the working class, organized and unorganized.   Chafee recalled protests by Occupy activists. They were "  persistent and tenacious ".  Was their vociferous complaint directed at the ONE PERCENT all about a pittance raise for wage slaves ?   In fact, they were asking : By what divine right does our plutocracy own the country ? A much more substantial issue here .

           I hope more ordinary Democrats will rebel against this jackass progressive minimum-ism. You would think that the minimum wage at least for now could be tied to the cost of living index. I am on social security. I just got my generous raise. Thank God for  " that man ",  Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was, of course, " a traitor to his class ".
