It's been months since I posted one of these, which is my fault. It would be easy to pick my favorite hour from a talk show and simply hit "post," but that's too lazy. When a host talks extemporaneously there is always dispensable stuff, extra long pockets of dead air, extraneous repetition of previous points, stammering and stuttering (even more so from nervous and inexperienced callers) that I feel it's important to edit out before posting. This takes an enormous amount of time but in the end, when I have the time, it's worth it.
That said, on Thursday El Rushbo dedicated well over an hour to the McDonald's minimum wage strikes going on nationwide. During this he takes a call from a man who believes the protesters deserve their demanded 100%(!) wage increase. Putting on his professor's hat, Rush then delivers an Econ 101 lecture that everyone needs to learn (or relearn).
The entire discussion is couched within the Democrat left's and particularly Obama's ignorant view of economics and how their destructive (not to mention oppressive and authoritarian) policies are hurting the county, including the very McDonalds workers -- no doubt mostly Obama voters themselves -- who are protesting.
I think you will enjoy the next 37 minutes. Listen and learn!
Then do something about it! Share, inform, engage, vote, whatever it takes.
