  I guess you just didn’t comprehend what you read then, it was pretty simple. Not sure why you’re so confused by it.

    It stated FDR choose to support a minimum wage bill of 0.25 over a 0.40 bill. That’s probably one of those pesky facts that you don’t want to post because it doesn’t support your position.

      That single data point does not define the intent of the minimum wage itself. This is on you to prove.

        That single data point is one more from that article than you provided.

        Oh, also that article explains the 0.25 amount was a compromise wage to give the people something because Republicans wouldn’t support an actual living wage.

        You show your ignorance again the article does not say that. The only time the article mentions Republican opposition they then cite what the opposition was for.

        Many representatives had told her that they agreed with the principles of the bill but that they objected to a five-man wage board with broad powers.

        See that’s how you provide a quote that way both people know what is being referenced.

        So even if you are right, it’s the Republican’s fault.

        The democrats had 334 of the 435 seats in the house and 77 Senate seats in 1938 the Republicans could not block anything. Do you ever wonder why every claim you make is so easily refuted?
