The minimum wage discussion baffles me. We are "bankrupt" in large part in this country of Capitalism. It's ideas like the ultra high minimum wage that helped expedite our jobs moving to Mexico and China. Also, the part that enigMatic fails miserably to understand is...where does it stop? So, I'm paying Mr. Neck Tattoo $15 per hour to serve me a burger...what about the college grad who worked his but off, managed to stay out of jail and off drugs, got his degree and is only making $15 per hour? But, he's got a job that actually requires his skills and his brain? His pay HAS to go up too, right?
Oh, and tell me again about someone you know that BENEFITED from Obamacare?? Just one?? No??
And you say there is VIRTUALLY NO IMPACT on the economy?? WTF?? What about the small businessman that works 70-80 hrs per week to make a fairly decent living. Say he's a high roller that makes $100K per year. Yet, when he doubles his three employees wages he goes to $55K per year...is he impacted? Oh, well, he doesn't matter...
Short sighted bunch, you libs!! The problem, in my very humble opinion, comes from most of you either:
A. Never worked an honest day in your life.
B. Always looking for the easy way or handout.
C. Pre-programmed to think like is supposed to be easy...
D. The concept that we can somehow, take care of, those that don't want to work or being a contributing member of society.
Some philandering Democrat once said "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Obviously, like the rest, he must have had no clue what he was talking about.
