Yes. It's the Democratic Party.
And the former Democratic Party became the Socialist Party. Now to just return the Republican Party to conservatism.

Yes. It's the Democratic Party.
Does that also make the Democratic Party the Republican Party?
Should they just change their name(s) to Demopublican or Remocratic or some such?

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) today vetoed an increase in the minimum wage that was passed by the state’s Democratic senate. Using what’s known as a “conditional veto,” Christie sent the bill back saying he would sign it if certain changes were made, including: shrinking the increase from $8.50 to $8.25 per hour, phasing it in over three years, and eliminating a provision tying the wage to inflation.
New Jersey’s current minimum wage stands at $7.25, so Christie’s veto, in essence, is saying that he believes a $1 increase in the wage over three years is sufficient. As the New Jersey Policy Perspective noted, “the first year increase proposed by the governor of 25 cents will be erased by inflation by the time the third year kicks in its 25 cents.

That would be a 5.5% increase over three years, national average is 3%. Now you aren't even happy with 150% of the national average at 4.5%? Anyone making minimum should get twice the raise as those who aren't making minimum wage? Why stop at $8.50? Why not make minimum wage $17.00 like WalMart is paying employees in the booming state of ND?

What on earth are you talking about? Minimum wage in ND is $7.25 per hour.
Gordon Weyrauch, manager of Williston Home & Lumber, said it's hard to keep good employees even at $16 an hour: "Seems like when you get somebody that's really good, there's always another company stealing them away."
A sign outside the local Wal-Mart advertises starting wages of $17 an hour.

You are correct on your statement but even WalMart has to pay employees $17 an hour to attract people to work because the state is booming because, wait for it, OIL...
