And if you want to hear the testimony of the communist professors from Berkeley that Senator Leno brought to the hearing of the Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee, you can find the audio/video record at http://www.calchannel.com.

One witness, after he slipped into his testimony that he has studied this issue as a graduate student at Haaarvaard, admitted the mandatory higher wages could ruin and put some small business owners out of business.  But with a shrug, he said 10% fail anyway so what the heck!  Natural selection I guess.

And so what if prices went up he acknowledged, at least the workers had more money THEY could spend.

More examples of Bay area limousine liberals – who never owned or ran a business – telling others how they should run theirs.
