Tom Emmer had a news conference at the Eagle Street Grille, across from the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, as part of his Hillary-style "Listening Tour." This video shows the news conference from the point where he started talking about servers earning over $100,000 per year, to the end of the conference. The video was taken by Bob Carney Jr., who describes himself as a candidate-journalist. Carney is on the ballot, challenging Emmer for the Republican nomination for Governor of Minnesota in the August 10th Republican primary.
If he's dumb enough to be repeat the idiocy that comes out of Joe Castle's mouth, then he's obviously not sharp enough to be our Gov. With all the problems facing our state, he goes and makes an issue out of something that occurs so infrequently that you could probably count the number of bartenders or servers that make more than 80,000K/year on your ten fingers. Shows a serious disconnect with the hard working tax paying people he's supposed to be running for.

Legalize weed and tax the shit out of it to pay for national healthcare. It will also eliminate many of the boarder issues in Arizona and will cut down on the number of people we have serving time in prisons.
Also...by having all Americans collectively paying into the same pot we will all pay less for our health insurance.

@faunch small business owners will pay the tax for the public health care. the money needs to come from somewhere.

Why are you running for Governor? You obviously don't believe in government. And yes...the Eagle St. Grill...built in the shadows of the PUBLICLY financed Xcel Energy Center.

Tom:
If we had a public option for health care these small business owners would not have to worry about the expense of providing health care for their employees. Instead they could invest that money in their business or keep it in their own pocket.
