God Says Raise the Minimum Wage, According to Teddy Kennedy

Yesterday, at the release of a new national grassroots campaign to raise the minimum wage spearheaded by religious leaders, Sen. Teddy Kennedy (D.-Mass) told his audience to believe in God is to support the “living wage.”

“Let Justice Roll” is the name of a drive said to have more than 45 million constituents (including the Center for American Progress) that leverages spiritual “moral outrage” over low wages to gain support for legislative action.

Kennedy said: “This [raising the minimum wage] is a moral issue of enormous importance and consequence. It’s a defining issue about what our society is really about. Whether we reward work, whether we have respect for individuals that work hard and play by the rules, whether we are going to follow the great teachings of the Beatitudes, which inspire so many of us in terms of our responsibilities to our fellow human beings and if we believe in those fundamental tenants of the Judeo-Christian ethic we cannot fail but to believe that the minimum wage must be a livable wage for all our fellow citizen.” (emphasis added).

Yes, Teddy... and God says to have another Scotch and soda, and to grope another waitress, too. And He sends Mary Jo Kopechne's warmest regards.

Being lectured by the likes of the "swimmer" on morals is like being lectured on the value of diversity by Robert Byrd. It just doesn't cut it.
