you should just watch the video of what Romney said. You are taking a quote out of context. When Romney said that, he was replying to Larry Kudlow when Kudlow said, "there is very little to no inflation now." Romney's reply is that that probably means that we don't need to raise the minimum wage now. It is consistent with his position. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/05/romney-no-need-to-raise-the-minimum-wage/ I would embed the video, but I can't figure it out. It is at the bottome of the page in this article. |
I watched the video, and at no point did he say that he supports raising the minimum wage. First he pointed out that, as Governor, he vetoed a bill to raise the minimum wage. Then he said that "right now, there's probably no need to raise the minimum wage."
I just don't see where you get the idea that, right now, Romney supports raising the minimum wage. Again I ask: When was the last time that Romney said he supports raising the minimum wage? I don't think he's expressed any support for that since before this interview.
