The true "evil genius" of the repub party is that they are able to consistently get the people in these "red" states to vote for them.

I support living wage laws and I was very interested to see a study from my home state of Utah. However, when I discuss the idea with friends who are conservative or on the fence, they always make the argument that jobs will be lost because companies will move to a location without living wage laws. Here is an article that makes an argument like this. How would you respond to this? I argued we would need a federal living wage law to avoid a job exodus. Is there a better argument for living wage laws at a local or state level?

If enough people would wake up to the damage Bush and his minion's policies are doing to America then he would no doubt be unelectable.

(Full disclosure- I worked on this study in my day job, but it's still worth checking out :)

Your day job kicks ass. Way to go.
