You're completely discounting the primary process. I also think the most fictitious myth out there is that a vote for a third party is a wasted vote. A third party is really our only hope.

But if poor people just had a little more money.....

That's exactly my point. In a 7.5 minimum world, 15 is decent. In a 10.1 minimum world, 15 is average. If the minimum goes to 10, 15 will buy you what 10 does today.

When the Republicans are in power, watch MSNBC. When the Democrats are in power, watch Fox News.

You're starting to get it, but that isn't the reason. I don't care what discretionary measure a company takes to increase its base. When you've worked hard for a time at a fairly skilled job, and you're on the cusp of being middle class America at $15/hr, then all of a sudden the law changes...

Comparing it to me and my office is nonsense. A raise in the minimum wage leads to increase in cost of life. Now, buck can come in and say that percentage wise, wages comes out ahead of the cost of living increase. And that may be. But for those over the new minimum, their pay doesn't go as...

That is fine with me, reasonable minds can disagree. There has never been a better time in the history of America to start a business. Social media what it is, you can reach so many people so easily and it's all free. All it takes is hard work, most people just want 40 hours, and a company...

I blame the unions because if you are drunk on the job at a rail road company, you can easily kill someone. If you're drunk at work there, you should be fired. If you got a problem, and self report, then no, you shouldn't be fired. I think it's absurd that you get 80% of your pay for...

I'm with you. I'm just telling you that when the economy takes a dump, there is a huge upturn in the sale of dog food.

No. Unless you are someone I just got done having sex with. People are too damn sensitive.

In-n-out is a west coast thing? I've never heard of them.

You've been talking a lot about me and a pyramid scheme. What the fuck are you talking about? I'm in the security system business. We have a local brick and mortar store. Nothing pyramid about it.

You don't start working for the plumber full time. When you're working for free, to learn a skill, you can choose when you work. You keep your shitty minimum wage job and work for him on your days off. You perhaps see if you can work 3 12 hour shifts at McDonalds. Then you work 2 days...

They have to do that. But on the back end, the FDA requires them to make the food safe for people. Have you not seen district 9?

If you think someone making $14 an hour would be unaffected by raising the minimum wage from 7.5 to 10.1, then you are a total retard. Dude, about the plumber trainer thing. You act like that is absurd. If you have very little knowledge of a skilled trade, and you want to break into it, how...

They were the best fighting units the Third Reich had to throw at us

Ding ding ding.... NAFTA was absurd. We should have free trade with Canada. Having free trade with Mexico is like a bad dream. A lot of people blame "big evil corporations" for outsourcing. I think they are about one entity that is void of culpability. Unions; strong arm corporations into...

The concept of a living wage is offensive to me. It implies that it is the responsibility of your employer to ensure your financial well being. It isn't, your financial well being is your own responsibility. Let us examine the habits of the so called working poor... What socioeconomic...

your last sentence there is the reason the law exists.

You're right about that. But their victims, in your previous posts, should suck it up and pay it all at the full rate, even if it's half their income? I'm willing to forgive people and help them for making a poor, but proactive decision. I'm much less willing to want to give someone...
