IF it's Sunday, it must be GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS (ABC) and TIM RUSSERT (nbc) WHORING LIES for the right-wing agenda again. We don't want to spend too much time on sell-out George or "Monica, Monica, Monica, MONICA!" Tim this beautiful Sunday morning, but in this first week after the 2006 election it is indeed good to see pale-face-with-forked-tongue commentator GEORGE WILL on the ABC show, touting his "I'm so concerned for the economic health of America" lies and greed. In this case, Will flat out asserted "MOST OF THOSE EARNING MINIMUM WAGE ARE WELL ABOVE THE POVERTY LINE."
This simple assertion is based on several popular FALLACIES, such as that only teenagers and those on secure retirements accept minimum wage job; or that minimum wage in a full-time job is _NOT_ BELOW THE POVERTY LINE, or that minimum wage jobs are NOT the main source of income for hundreds of thousands of American families.
ALL OF THESE ASSSERTIONS ARE FALSE, and overpaid George Stephanopoulos has NO BUSINESS letting them go buy uncontested on his show without CHALLENGING THEM and DEMANDING that George Will back up his stats. (We remind that Stephanopoulos was part of the Clinton-Gore 'war room' of 1992 that made "It's the ECONOMY, STUPID!" that campaign's central theme, and that it was that campaign and campaign theme that boosted Stephanopoulos to the national attention from which he got his current job lying for ABC, selling out the very principles and policies he fought for in 1992.)
George Will and George Stephanopoulos: If it's Sunday morning, they must be LYING for ABC 'news' again!
