0:00.0 | in Chicago. You know, we've been following the living wage argument and the big box resolution |
0:08.1 | trying to keep Walmart stores out of the city. The so-called living wage ordinance that would have |
0:15.1 | required mega retailers in Chicago to pay their workers higher wages was successfully turned back |
0:21.2 | yesterday. A supporters on a city council couldn't muster enough votes to override the veto of |
0:26.8 | the mayor Richard daily. Daily veto the ordinance this week saying it would cost the city jobs |
0:33.4 | that would hurt people who need those jobs the most. He was able to convince enough older men |
0:38.0 | who voted in favor of the ordinance in July to change their votes. What was 31 to 18 in favor |
0:43.1 | of overriding the veto, which was three short of the necessary votes to do so. Here is Brian in |

1:29.3 | they resent middle-class success. But here you have to understand the liberal attitude. Liberals |
1:37.7 | are arrogantly condescending. The last thing liberals want is to be thought of as part of the |
1:42.1 | middle-class. They're above all that. These people are elitists and the people that are enjoying |
1:50.0 | life at Walmart, working there and shopping there. Don't need liberals. It's an affront. It's an |
1:57.0 | offense to liberalism that something like this, like Walmart, could become so big and so successful |
