Why bother with making it a measley $10 per hour? Why not $100? Or better yet, make it a million dollars an hour. Everyone will be a millionaire, they will all be “rich,” and 0bama can soak the greedy rich people in bring in tons of new revenue.

There would be a great deal of entertainment value in that, and a real chance the democrats would lose a chunk of their base (low information voters).

Minimum Wage Control is essential to Soetoro-Obama’s desire to control and then destroy what is left of a free market in America.

I would rather watch snakes shedding their skin than watch the imposter lie on TV.

Unfortunately, we have a brainless Boner. Even $20 an hour would put them on the hot seat.

The more people Obama can put out of work and make dependent on Gubmint handouts the more people he thinks he can get to vote to keep the handouts coming.

The min wage is all about this. It will put millions out of work as companies automate and get rid of unskilled labor.

They managed to let some unknown SUV with flashing lights onto the highway with the motorcade, per CSP radio traffic.

This is all a red herring distraction. All the blue states are free to set their minimum wage at whatever they want.

If they just got aggressive and reminded the public about that the GOP could shutdown this BS real quick.

I’m in the Horticulture Industry and was reading one of my trade magazines the other day which compared salaries/hourlies across the board for our industry.

EVERY job, from stock person and greenhouse workers and up starts at WELL above the current minimum wage (averaged) here in the Midwest.

This is another jobs killer. We’re going to be limping through the hectic spring season, understaffed and p*ssin’ off the customers left and right.

We’re already suffering under 0bamacare.

Life kinda sucks right now, but at least I’m paying those that DESERVE it, a decent starting wage with room for advancement.

I’m pretty sure Brandon’s getting paid exactly what he’s worth. If he spent a little less time NAACPEEING he might be able to learn a trade. As it appears he’s just polishing his grifter apple.

Also, he’ll jog up the steps to the stage to show folks how energetic and vigorous he is.

When you get down to the minimum wage. It’s a sign he has been neutered.
