Major Barf alert from the communist control freaks.

If you recognize any of the statements, I suggest that you remember the freepers who espouse them.

This would kill entrepenuers, and most businesses. But that is what we are up against.

Whatever happened to personal initiative and improvement? Are we suppose to require McDonald's to pay their burger-flippers $50,000 a year because minimum wage isn't a "living wage"?. Hey, how about going to school and entering a profession which pays more than burger-flipping?

entry level jobs are not ment for a family of four to live on, all this will do is eliminate alot of jobs.

as Thomas Sowell explains so perfectly in his books, legislation like this solves NOTHING...It excaerbates current problems and hurts those it supposedly is meant to help. There are no such thing as political "solutions"...There are only TRADEOFFS. The tradeoff here is a higher wage for the most experiences workers and a devastating increase in unemployment among the least educated and skilled. Of course, when employers are forced to cut workers to prevent bankruptcy, "corporate greed" can always be blamed...playing right into the hands of the lefty politicians who need another justification to expand the welfare state and further punish the job providers in the private sector.
