Just look at the math, no room to raise minimum wage

[Wolfstrike]

let's see...

* 5 million for the CEO, plus following expenses to determine salary.

* 3 million for his golden parachute.

*2 million for the board members, plus following expenses to determine salary.

* 1.2 million for around the world board meetings and expenses.

* 45 million in investment returns.

* 5000 sqf homes in 4 cities for the CEO and his travels = 52 million

* 80,000 in high tec alarms to protect from someone breaking into the other half of the house.

* 250k for a Ferrari so the CEO's punk ass son can take his driver's test.

* 8 million to pay for schooling so the CEO's and board member's kids never have to get an honest job.

* 5 million to keep lawyers on stand-by

* 25 million set aside for settlements due to harm caused by products.

* 150k per year for a consultant to tell the company to cut wages to employees.

* 4 million for IT expenses to finally get that website to work.

* 200 million in product

* 60 million in logistics

* 9 million for insurance

we're left with 3.5 million for salaries for the people who do all the work.

200 people at minimum wage comes out to 3.4 million.

whoo that's all we got, cutting it close.

It doesn't require math to figure out it is always a bad idea to make it illegal to work for the poor. Only a bit of compassion is needed to come to that conclusion.

What really needs to be done is
1. WE need to stop outsourcing
2. We need to end loopholes for the rich and fine them if they offshore.
3. Put in place laws that prevent golden parachutes at the screwing of the workers. Someone shouldn't get 100 million when the people doing the work hardly gets enough to survive. It is the morally right thing to do to pay your workers right.

America needs to go back to a 1950's like mindset were America comes first and the workers are treated right.

Back to 50s... when taxes and gov spending were very roughly half of what they are now?

Agreed.

As for the other Marxist garbage, nahhh that actually doesn't work.

unions have been hoist by their own petard. next come the gulags.

NBA player Shawn Kemp, for instance, earned $10 million in a year he averaged a pathetic 6.1 points and 3.8 rebounds a game. Colorado Rockies pitcher Mike Hampton earned $9.5 million -- in the second year of an eight-year, $121 million contract -- and compiled a 7-15 won-loss record with a pitiful earned-run average of 6.15.

Reference Ten most overpaid jobs in America No scientists on the list!

The 1950s when we were paying off WWII and tax rates were very high? Those 50s?

No you idiot, the actual aggregate tax rate... these 50s:

Always a pleasure to debunk leftist lies / extremely deliberately misleading statistics.
