Minimum wage debate continues

[I'm Watermark]

you forgot to mention that most walmart employees qualify for food stamps

Yep. The Austrians who preach the elimination of food stamps, also lay claim to policies that put workers on food stamps.

Also, it's important to point out that food stamps don't put a person into stellar economic circumstances (And neither does a poverty wage, or welfare.)

Cretins like The Dude like to pretend that they're rational, basically compassionate human beings. This, ye deziens of the internet, is just not true. Anyone who stands in defense of Walmart has no place in the politics of the masses - they are relics of the past, and much like Montt, Franco and Alexander III, they're to be dusted off by the occasional academic, but forever rest in the shadows of the fist and rose.

I'm for a much hire min wage indexed to inflation.
I'm not for cherrypicking companies to attack for political ends.

Haha, I was feeling poetic.

Anyway, I'm completely "for cherrypicking companies to attack for political ends." The corporation is a heinous, barbarous institution that cannot be justified in a modern economy. I'll cherrypick whatever I choose to, but that doesn't detract from my disgust towards all institutions of capitalist production.

Also, my generation will be the ones holding the next half century, not yours. Isn't it time you recognize that?

I was being facetious. And yes, it isn't strange to find bourgeois children "wanting to kick it all in the teeth".

It's rather pedestrian.
