Could it be that Starkist is part of her San Francisco district?
Do you think she has a sweetheart deal going on with that company? Perhaps Starkist is a big donator to her?
But-But I-I-I I thought Nancy was a supporter of the little guy!!!!
Just another Limosine-Liberal folks!

no specific company can be exempted from a law...unless they have a legally binding contract in place before the law is put into effect...stop pointing out stupidity and claiming it as fact.
This guy is lying, look it up, why don't you do some research, I'll give you a dollar to buy a clue. Retardo boy, it's a teritory exemption, not an exemption for a specific company....hahahahaha, where are YOUR facts idiot stick

Do you want the truth, or just want to complain?
On the off chance you are interested, heres what happened.
In American Samoa, (not ever part of San Francisco) they have had their own rules about wages The cost of living being so much lower than it is in the states they neither needed or wanted wages that would encourage Starkist to pull out and can in another part of the world. Sensibly they asked not to be included in the minimum wage increase congress was talking about at the time. Since they have their own arrangements that include increases, they didn't see the need to suddenly join the mainland in this.
The end result of this interference by 'well-meaning Republicans" is that American Samoa will now have the mainland minimum wage, one that is higher than almost any other job on the island. One that might end its cannery operations. But, there was political hay to be made, so screw the people. As usual.

Seems that Ms. Pelosi has a lobbyist in her pocket. Limosine-Liberal?? Nice. Well she doesn't want Limos, she wants the military to tote her sorry carcass around the globe in an aircraft that could be used for war instead of running her and her buttbuddies from party to party. Just like the rest of the Democrats...useless... Did anyone read where oral sex is can be a cause of cancer...Guess Bill Clinton had better stay away from all his friends....

Indeed a large part of her constituency is involved in the Tuna Industry; she is trying buy votes.
Behind all of this is the fact that the liberals in our federal government think that it is acceptable to, through the police power of government, tell a business how much to pay their employees.
The rest of us (i.e. those who were not educated in government schools or who at least have a half a brain) realize that as a part of a free enterprise economy it is (or should be in this case) the marketplace that decides the compensation associated with a particular job and not the government.

Republican, Democrat, no matter the label, they all kowtow to the special interest groups. All that matters to them is staying in Washington and being the "elected" leaders of the U.S. This way they can manage to get all the kickbacks and have the special interest groups kiss their hind ends. If they are so devoted, if they care so much, why don't they change campaign finance laws and set term limits for themselves? Makes you wonder I hope.

she says she is for the little guy. she wants to raise taxes on the rich. yet every time the minimum wage goes up or the taxes are raised the little guy gets hurt. prices goes up and the only ones that comes out on top are the state and Federal governments. yet one tends to think that Starkist has her in their back pockets.

Because she knows her pays her salary-the one she lives on. She is rich off special interests and is among the top in Congress who have received vacations and overseas travel from special interests.
Nancy is as phony as a $3 bill.
