The federal minimum wage is illegitimate. Where in the Constitution does it give the federal government the authority to tell me how much I have to pay someone?

Minimum Wage is so passe. Now it’s a “Living” wage they want. You can’t support a wife and 2.6 children on Minimum Wage. $25 an hour to work at McDonald’s is the wave of the future.

You may be missing the point. Raising the minimum wage is also a backhanded way to increase taxes. Income taxes, FICA will go up if people earn more money.

You’re correct...Leftists, Communists and Democrats (I repeat myself) don’t give a whit.

I agree 100% with your well-chosen words. The minimum wage is nothing more than a modern form of slavery since it prohibits a worker and employer from setting an agreeable rate of pay. The false bottom of the minimum wage was another of Franklin Diablo Roosevelt's attack on freedom and liberty. And don't get me started on tri-corn hat wearing Frances Perkins who headed the Department of Labor during that corrupt administration. I'll just say that she's enjoying an eternal marshmallow roast with the equally evil Ted Kennedy.

So much of what's wrong with America can be traced to the trio of American-hating leftists: Perkins, Henry Wallace and Harry Hopkins, both shown below seated adjacent to Satan's disciple:

It's on the same page that makes abortion legal, and just after the page that makes owning guns illegal.
