Of course, the fool Democrat voters dont realize that a $10 per hr min wage means that more Illegal Aliens will be hired because they can be paid less...both parties are looking for reasons to hire Illegals and give them amnesty

India and China are going to have so many companies going their way if this were to pass congress that they might have to import American workers to fill the glut of jobs that will be created.

Why don’t we just turn over the whole economy to the government? Then, we can all stop working and just collect all kinds of benefits and live happily ever after, just watching TV and playing video games and eating our way towards needing “free” Obamacare?

It’ll be a workers paradise, with no workers.

10 dollars an hour actually sounds about right to me. The 15 dollars an hour fast food workers are demanding is just crazy.

Help me out here.

Why is $7.25/hr not enough?

But $15/hr too much?

Then, why is $10/hr just right?

Surely, you have cogent reasons for these precise judgments...

MaybeWeCan just got the zot on the "Senate approves gay rights" thread.

Double zot thread, in fact. Viking Kitties will be pleased tonight.

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the people elected to congress who are the useful idiots.

The HHS will just raise the caps “as she deems neccessary”.

“The stupidity is truly stunning...”

No it is like a football team going back to its bread and butter.

The dems are getting hammered on the failure of Obamacare so they go back to one of their mainstay plays “raise the minimum wage”.

Not really.

These people are wicked.
Do you rely they think they have a heart for the downtrodden?

Yeah, you beat me to it. Make it that high, and I’ll give up my job as a full-time unpaid dog sitter. Of course, everything we buy will also soar in price, but we’ll all feel like millionaires when we look at our pay stubs.

But the union thugs will be happy, and that’s all that matters. People are such morons. They ought to know by now that politicians are controlled by those with the most clout. Many laws and regulations are designed to protect groups or businesses from competition, but the true intent is hidden with noble sounding words about helping people. BS.
