“MICHAEL STEELE IS AT THE EDGE OF TRUTH HERE BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS GONE ARRAY IN OUR CULTURE—OUR POLITICAL CULTURE—OVER THE LAST 20 TO 25 YEARS,” SAYS MIKE ABOUT STEELE’S COMMENTS REGARDING THE NEW YORK TIMES EDITORIAL PIECE “FAST-FOOD FIGHT.” “WHENEVER THE ECONOMY IS IN A STATE OF FLUX OR IN A STATE OF TROUBLE, TOO MANY PUBLIC PEOPLE IN POLITICS TAKE AIM AT PEOPLE LIVING AT THE ECONOMIC FRINGE, RATHER THAN THE TOP OF THE SPECTRUM. THEY GO AFTER MINIMUM WAGE WORKERS. THEY ARE AFTER AMERICAN’S JOBS; WE CAN’T GIVE THEM A PAY RAISE. THERE IS SOMETHING DEEPLY FLAWED ABOUT THE WAY WE ADDRESS THIS STUFF.” ON MORNING JOE ON MSNBC.
