Back in December, when incoming Congressional Democrats were urging Congressmembers to *gasp!* actually work 40-hour workweeks, lazy-ass Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) tried to spin it like this:
Keeping us up here eats away at families. Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says.
Ooooh, boo hoo. Excuse me while I go find my miniature violin. 
Anyway, lazy-ass Jack demonstrated his moronic hypocrisy yesterday when he offered this argument against raising the minimum wage:
If the Democrat Party truly wanted to take on poverty, they would have to say, what is the relationship between marriage and the poverty level, and between hours worked and the poverty level. Because the truth of the matter is if people in poverty, if many of them would marry and many of them would work 40 hours a week, they would be out of poverty.
You heard it here, kids! A family where both spouses work 40 hours a week is a perfectly acceptable way to lift yourself out of poverty -- unless you're a lazy-ass Republican Representative from Georgia making $158,000+ a year, in which case it suddenly becomes an unconscionable burden that "eats away at families."
