>"Removing the minimum wage is so extreme it's barely even under consideration [...] And it always has been."

Then you disagree with Eleanor Roosevelt on history, who, speaking of the Republican party's desire to end the minimum wage in 1959 gave the congressional testimony: "The arguments raised against establishing any legal minimum wage were the same as those which have been used by employers over the past 50 years."

And liberal think-tank The National Employment Law Project, who writes: "The criticisms raised by minimum wage opponents display a remarkable consistency over the past 100 years" Source: "100 Years of Broken-Record Opposition to the Minimum Wage"

You can disagree with these positions, but at least have your facts right about basic points of history. Points of history that your party doesn't even disagree with.
