Do Democrats Seriously Want to Raise the minimum Wage or ...

He also brought all the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan and emptied then totally obliterated the camp at Gitmo.

Exactly as He promised.

Didn't He?

Iraq is now in FAAAAAAAAAAAARRR worse shape than it was with Saddam. It is now a territory of Iran. This is after we totally removed ourselves from the state.
Syria is now a breeding ground for Al Qaeda.
Egypt is a tee-total mess
Afghanistan - we have now managed to to get both sides to hate us..quite the feat.
Iran will have nuclear weapons.
There has never been a time of such instability in the middle east - ever. We are priming the pump for a kind of future terrorism we have not seen the likes of. We have abandoned the region, our friends are screaming angry with us for ignoring both Syria and Iran. Egypt is a complete FUBAR.
This administration could not possibly have done a worse job.

People today seem to have bigger houses and a lot more stuff than they had back in 1968.

And this makes it ok for the rich to take hundreds of times more then the avg worker? This makes the growing difference ok...Why shouldn't people have a large house, car and computer?


Why?

Nobody's saying they shouldn't have it. The argument is whether should they earn it.


.

They did earn it, according to the definition of the term. They received everything they have through a voluntary exchange. What do you propose as a replacement?

Read Matthew's post. I'm not talking about rich, but about those who asking for "fair share".

AND, you give so little credit to small business owners, of which I am one....there are many ways to cut back, to pay for the workers you may have at minimum wage....when the going gets tough, the tough get going....cut electric bills, cutting wasteful travel, cutting wastefull or non-necessary supply costs, bargaining with whom you buy your goods from to get better deals....cut rent, SELL MORE, increase employee's PRODUCTIVITY....so it pays for the 50 cent -$1 hike

Correct...and while you do that, you're not hiring. not giving raises and, when necessary, cutting your workforce. That creates what I described and what you and others on the Left want to ignore and not talk about.

Dems have been trying to raise the minimum wage for many years, where the hell have you been?

Evidently I was out to lunch with the democrats when they had a super-majority of both houses of congress from 2009-2011. Why didn't they do it then? 111th United States Congress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Actually, Pub dupe, they had a filibuster proof Senate for less than 6 months, and if you subtract days out of session and with Teddy out of order, 13 DAYS. Our Mass candidate was a catastrophe- could've gotten out of this Pub recession back in 2011...

Yeah, it worked out so well the last time they did it...in 2007. Remember what happened after that?

Yeah, that caused the housing crash alright.

Oh no, it was all those strict Bush housing policies that caused the housing crash. Btw, can you name one of those specific Bush housing policies?

66- Actually, it was his corrupt crony regulators in bed with the bankers...- oh right, you live on the bs Pub planet...

Continuing to increase the minimum wage ends up driving up the cost of living via higher prices for goods and services.

It is an endless circle jerk by the liberals to keep their stupid fuck followers voting for them because "liberals really, really, really care about them" in their demented pig brains.
