>You know this is good,
No, this is bad. Everybody else's wages just went down. |

It is always bad when government interferes with market forces. Anytime the government manipulates market forces, it is a slap in the face of capitalism and a vote for, well, something else.
In case nobody noticed, the Al-Qaeda attacks were attacks on Western capitalism. They bombed the world TRADE center, the center of capitalism in the western world. I'm sick and tired of two faced politicians comforting the enemy, and/or opposing capitalism and free enterprise which is what made this country great to begin with. Many Americans died so that I would not have a socialistic governments telling me what I must pay people or else go to jail, (if I am allowed to be in business to begin with) |

The WTC was not the center of capitalism in the western world. The NY and London Stock Exchanges (and, to a lesser extent the US Federal Reserve Bank) were/are.

I am against this minimum wage increase. With that said I guess all the people that work at SBLive will be getting a raise
Hey rherz I am so glad to see you put your foot down so hard on something so political

I would like to know if there is anyone out there that is not an employer that is against the minimum wage raise.

The only legal way to earn less than minimum wage is to work for oneself. I earned less than minimum wage this month. Where's my government mandated check? (But I'm not expecting one on any moral basis whatsoever) Another reason minimum wage is a bad idea is that it excluded employers! (the one who should probably be protected the most since we hire others!) |

>You know no one can talk to you. You are rude, sarcastic and annoying to all of us. So blow it out your BUTT.
In case anyone ever wants to know what the logical fallacy known as "ad hominem" looks like, here's a textbook example. When faced with questions the opponent either doesn't understand or doesn't want to answer, the opponent attacks the person that asked the question instead of answering the actual question. |
