Letter to the Editor
Rising minimum wage not related to communism

Hilarious, just hilarious. "It sounds like the coming of socialism." ("Possible minimum wage increase upsetting some," June 28). Now, being very conservative in some aspects, I'll be the first person to point out the commies and reds. However, raising the minimum wage has nothing to do with communism. What it is though, is a broken promise from our governor. Gov. Ed Rendell has on many occasions during the last election promised to keep the minimum wage where it was. Recently he started to promise that minimum wage is going to go up. He also broke his promise about property taxes going down. The two issues of property tax and minimum wage were the reasons he got so many crossovers from the Republican party and won the election. So, the question is, when will Pennsylvania people stop trusting him? How many more promises and claims will he lie about before we kick him out?
