    You want to make more then $7/hr? Go make yourself worth something to somebody. Being untrained and having no initiative is no way to make a living.

    Price controls never work.

    The answer is Franklin Delano Roosevelt, when the original minimum-wage law was passed in 1933.

    Roosevelt said, “In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.

    “By business I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.”

    What you fail to understand is that a living wage has changed since then. People have much higher expectations now. They shouldnt btw. A living minimum wage means just that. The ability to live and exist,...at minimum. Now people seem to think that things like cable tv, wi fi, cell phones, and video game packages are all part of being able to live and exist. Thy are not,.... and never were. Minimum means a tiny sleeping room to lay your ass down in at night and enuff food to live if you stretch your dollars right. THATS IT. It doesnt mean eating out three times a day, smoking cigs and pot, playing video games while talking on your cell phone and surfing the internet on wi fi. SPOILED FUCKING BRATS. You want that stuff? GREAT. YOU pay for it yourself....

But there is a deep partisan divide in views of this proposed policy – a version of which recently passed the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives, though it is unlikely to be taken up by the GOP-controlled Senate.
    Two-thirds of Americans (67%) support raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, including 41% who say they strongly favor such an increase, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted this spring.

    hate to burst your snot bubble, little bitch, but the amount of corporate welfare to those who are already rich in this country dwarfs the relatively small amount of individual welfare payments that go to those who actually need help. so fuck you if you don't like it.

    The relief is coming and it’s actually going to help people and small businesses instead of the rich.

    Really surprised you criticize bombing the people who are lobbing missiles at our troops. I thought conservatives supported that?
    I’m just fucking ecstatic with my vote along with those 80,000,000+ others!

    Not at all. Better paying jobs are out there, for those qualified for them. Nothing stops him from creating his own job by going into business either (other than lack of initiative).

    Correct. These are okay for building a little stake, or gaining experience, but they are not to live on.

    Bingo. He has never understood the concept of price discovery in markets.

    Biden is infected with TDS, like most Democrats.

    Jacking the minimum wage wont do a thing for anyone. In a fairly short period of time the economy will reset itself, everyone above minimum wage earners will get an equal bump in wages,...prices will rise across the board on goods and services, housing, and rents.....the people at the bottom will still be at the bottom with all the exact same problems they have now. Only difference is that 2 dollar loaf of bread they couldnt afford will now be 4 dollars a loaf and still unaffordable.
