You keep going back to this point about why we aren't all making minimum wage now. Skilled workers have leverage because they bring a skill that not every person out there has. Unskilled workers bring labor and their time. If you have skills, you have the leverage to negotiate. If you don't have...

Since when am I a leftist? Again, the labeling thing. Trying to pin me down with negative connotations to discredit what I'm saying. You're a smart guy, come with something better than that amateur hour BS. It's difficult to take you seriously when you imply that politicians being educated...

Exactly. It's not like they're going to have sweat shops overnight but things will slowly start moving in that direction. Seems like in every post there is a massive gap in what I'm saying and what you think I'm saying.

Exactly. It's not like they're going to have sweat shops overnight but things will slowly start moving in that direction. People saying we have a chance to negotiate for more money if our jobs are allowed to pay us less money is so absurd, I can't even wrap my head around why someone would...

I never said my wish was for $15/hr. Have you even read anything I've wrote or do you just gloss over what I'm saying and assume I'm saying extreme left wing ideologies since I don't agree with you? Again when did I say people would automatically be making pennies? Another extreme left wing...

Minimum wage jobs weren't shipped overseas. Manufacturing jobs were. That's great that you have the budget for more seasonal employees at less than minimum wage. I feel so bad for your company that they aren't allowed to hire workers at slave wages. I have the budget to hire a crew to put a...

Ok so you don't know why businesses are over regulated. I'm not upset about the minimum wage thing at all. I think it's fine where it's at and should only be raised with inflation. I don't know why you're upset with it. Since when are minimum wagers the problem? Since when is this country...

You do realize that the annoying qualities you're calling me out for are the exact same ones you're using against me, right? I know, I know Hawk. I'm a (scary propaganda label) because one of my beliefs doesn't coincide with the right wingers handbook. I also know that once someone is labeled a...

You asked me what rights have been taken away and oppressions levied. I answered the ones I could think of off the top of my head. What else could I have done there? So far all you're doing is asking me questions and then trying to place me under some label instead of discussing the actual...

You and your lady did it the right way giles. That's why you're most likely living in a nice house while being able to afford most of the things you want to do. That should be your reward for busting your ass and workout yourself out of minimum wage. The people that don't want to work as hard as...

I didn't say the kids working for pennies were in the United States. They're in 3rd world countries doing the jobs Americans used to do before the American companies outsourced them for more profit. What exactly makes the organized government assholes Hawk? Are politicians just assholes to...

Why do you think small businesses have been over regulated? Serious question. Are you trying to make me think that one of the most profitable corporations in the world would need to hire less people and raise their prices just to stay afloat? They would do just fine. Why is it that the poor and...

I'm missing the point because I gave you some cons to the pros you listed? Ok lets take your mom and pop scenario and go further with it. Why can't the mom and pop afford to hire the 3 people at $10/hr? Is it because they can't compete with big businesses like Walmart who pretty much solely...

Who are these lower skilled workers that should be getting paid less than the current minimum wage? Since when does American have an epidemic of unemployed teenagers? So companies would set a "company minimum wage" which would put them at the mercy of the market. If the market was as free as...

I didn't say they needed to make more. Minimum wage should allow you to enough money to live, just uncomfortably. I've never looked down on a worker at McDonalds and thought that this person shouldn't even be allowed to live in an apartment with a roommate and be afforded medical care. Maybe...

What is the country as a whole to gain from minimum wage people making even less?

Nah man the only thing you'd do that irritated me was spend so much time blasting liberals for this or that. I mean I don't agree with most of that crazy stuff either but it's such a small percentage compared to the real problems. The media puts that junk out there to keep us pointing fingers at...

Theoretically your first sentence there is correct but this world isn't theoretical. The truth is that basically all of these incumbents are in bed with big business. Which means you're going to get the same old bait and switch you've been getting your entire life. Why would you continually keep...

Don't think that I'm automatically for Democrats because I think Bush is a joke. Anyone who votes one side or the other is responsible for getting us in the mess that we're currently in.

Are you nuts? Prescott Bush - Treason George HW Bush - War Criminal George W Bush - War Criminal This POS comes from a family that has had a hand in basically killing more humans than anyone else on this planet. They are some of the biggest terrorists any of us have ever seen. You're...
