    No one I have heard from, so far, has mentioned a mandatory $30 an hour minimum wage.

    It's not so much the cost of healthcare- as it is the cost of healthcare insurance.

    How much did you pay for your brand new automobile in 1992 when it was the last time the Minimum wage was increased?

    Let me help you out! The price of a fully loaded Silverado pickup truck cost $15,000 in 1992.

    The cost of a new fully loaded Chevy Silverado pickup truck today are up over $50 grand. Do the math on inflation.

    The price of a Big Mac in 1994 was 91 cents- today $3.99- yet they pay their employees the very same!

    BUT THE MINIMUM WAGE HAS NOT INCREASED 1 penny since the price of everything has tripled or quadrupled since then.

    THAT is the major problem.

    That is my fault. The post of the OP you responded to demanded a minimum of $25/hr, not $30.

    That would probably be more of a minimum wage that would have been there already, had the minimum wage kept up with inflation.

    I didn't blame you of anything BTW!

    I don't blame people for being stupid. I actually try to help stupid people by explaining the facts to them.

    Do you have any documentation showing minimum wage would be close to $25 if it kept up with inflation?

For me, the really fascinating questions about black slave-owning are how many black "masters" were involved, how many slaves did they own and why did they own slaves?"

    And pray tell, what was the actual raw number of black slave owners in the nearly 300 years of legal slavery in America? Because if the Native Americans apply your "logic", you're toast.

    Do your own research you fuckwit!

    I already made some examples of inflation since 1992 in my prior comments here in this thread.

    But you do your own.

    you know, only a complete intellectually impotent bigoted bumpkin would make such an asinine opening sentence in lieu of America's, England's, Spain's & Portugal's DOCUMENTED history (documented by their own accord, don't cha know). That pretty much negates anything else you babble.

    Are we also going to give reparations to them?

    Their blood and sacrifice were worth something don't you think?
    You forgot all the reneged stuff that President Grant basically ignored in the Southern States to "keep the peace"....all those years of Jim Crow....several additions to the Bill of Rights to reaffirm citizens rights to black folk across a century or so AFTER the end of the Civil War, etc., etc.

    See bunky, all that wasn't about white folk. But you knew that already … you just want to play dumb for some twisted bigoted pleasure.

    Actually I have and nothing I’ve seen has stated minimum wage would even be close to $25 based on inflation hence why I asked. But hey, sorry to upset you so.

    Your great grandfather is spinning in his grave at the worthless, brain dead POS bigoted parroting his great grandson does on these threads. 90 years of Jim Crow. 60 years of separate but equal. 35 years of racist housing policy, must've killed his spirit....and then there's the laws that had to be passed to reaffirm my right as a born & bread US citizen to go to any school my parents could afford.

    Reparations as originally conceived wasn't meant for you, bunky….YOU ARE NOT A DECENDANT OF SLAVES, OR WERE AFFECTED BY THE AFOREMENTIONED. I like the OP idea of an alternative to the original intent, though I highly doubt Congress will pass anything of the sort (to many folks like YOU around).

    Dude just look at the things that people need- a roof over your head as an example.

    Are you too stupid to realize that the price of a home or apartment in 1992 has quadrupled in price over the last 27 years?

    Give us a break dude!

Puh-leeze! Spare me! When Gingrich was Speaker, he went after Pacifica Broadcasting....hell, the vast majority of Americans don't know who they are, since neither the Big Three or any major cable news station mentioned them.

    If, by some quirk of Fate and God, reparations did pass through Congress, ONLY A TINY FRACTION of the American black population would be entitled to receipt. This is because (a) lineage to a slave family or person would have to be firmly established (b) a company or corporate records would have to exist to establish ownership (c) said company or corporation would have to exist to this day.

    But I do applaud bringing this subject up from time to time, because it exposes the congenital racism and bigotry that exists in America....and leans to a discussion where such blatant examples of this mindset occur in present society.

    Saying one needs a roof over their heads doesn’t address what we were talking about and that was what minimum wage would be today adjusted for inflation. I did a google search and saw nothing that stated it would be $25 like you claim. If you have data to the contrary I’m open to seeing it.

    Housing is a separate subject. If you want to address that feel free to make the factors you believe have caused the increase in cost
