I've owned pizza joints. Never has anyone except the owner made more than $25 an hour. You must elaborate.

I am a contractor...

I told one of my journymen carpenters that the minimum wage only drives the cost of everything up...like PIZZA and BEER...

I told him its a tax on everyday sevices such as resteraunts and car washes....

He got it...I went on to explain to him that there isnt anything such as free healthcare...we all pay for health care one way or the other...

Finally I told him if your happy being lower middle class keep voting for democrats...otherwise, if you want to be rich...start voting for rich people...
