That's a non sequitur fueled by low IQ. Too bad.

They wouldn’t need pay raises if Romney and his fellow corrupt globalists hadn’t pushed immigrant labor, particularly illegal, at every point possible.

Amen! Mittens could boost Americans' paychecks at no cost to the taxpayer by becoming the Senate champion for 'hire American'.

Perhaps he can influence the Morman church to pay for it?

Minion doesn’t understand that the real heroes are the small business owners locked up by their own government and forced to go broke, while he and his pals get their paychecks.

Why doesn’t this pathetic loser STFU? The fool purposefully “lost” to The Greatest Fraud Ever. What a nitwit.

I’d be all for this for workers in the meat industry. Farmers are faced with euthanizing thousands of hogs because there are not enough workers to keep the packing house lines moving and there is a shortage of meat looming.

How about limiting it to the monthly combat pay for soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, and spacemen?

Ok. If Romney lights himself on fire over it, I say we pass it.

“them” are not are not requesting the “bonus pay.” Romney is. Why are you putting them down. By generalizing you only show your own ignorance.

Several times, House Democrats refused to pass defense funding, unless they received all of the special interest and social spending that they wanted. Much spending has been needed to get our military forces improved enough, because Democrats trashed it before.

No. Not sure where you got that from.

And you’re right. Healthcare workers are generally well paid. But those working in grocery stores, making deliveries, etc., often aren’t—and they have been undercut in pay by immigrants—legal and illegal.

Not an increase TO $12 per hour but an increase OF $12 per hour

One quarter of which comes from the employer under Romney's scheme. What if they can't or won't?

Ann Coulter has backed Romney as far back as I can remember. She will not back down on the respect she has for him. I absolute can not disassociate Romney from Coulter
