I'm beyond fed up with the elite who played the conservative card to get support for not raising taxes on "millionaires and billionaires". Got what they wanted, then went looking for sneaky ways to support the invasion of the US. And now they're doing everything they can to destroy constitutional conservatives.

What's my point? I support a $10 an hour minimum wage, coupled with EVerify and a requirement to hire qualified and competent US citizens before non-citizens are even considered.

Joe reminds me of the workers at the 20th Century Motor company when they voted to follow the “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” plan.

He and the other minimum wage supporters are all focused on the extra money they’ll get per hour if the minimum wage is raised. What they’re forgetting is the rise in prices and fall in hours and/or jobs that will kill what little gain is achieved.

After paying the Obamacare costs, the raise will be all gone
