Linda McMahon doesn’t quite understand that some questions can’t be ducked.
Ted Mann, The Day: Should it be reduced now? Since businesses are struggling, as you all described? Would you argue for reducing the minimum wage now?
McMahon: “We have got minimum wages in states, we have got minimum wages in the (federal) government, and I think we ought to look at all of those issues in terms of what mandates are being placed on businesses and can they afford them. I think we should get input from our business community. We should listen to our small business operators and we should hear what it is they have to say and how it’s impacting their businesses and make some of those decisions.”
Her strategy has been to avoid talking about issues, going so far as saying it would be inappropriate to tell people what she thinks about social security. She must have figured that using her standard response: let’s listen to the people, would serve her just fine. But the only “people” she mentioned were the folks who want to cut the minimum wage, so despite herself, she answered the question. Even some American voters can see through this one.
