Has his buddy Warren Buffett taken a pay cut or paid his own damn back taxes yet?
Here’s a pay-gap remedy: send the Obamas on their last vacation ever. In prison.
“morally”
Hey, the leftist line.... don’t stuff your morality down my throat
Also I should add, leftists do not separate social and economic issues, to them they are the same thing.
Income equality is a Marxist political concept.
How odd? The minimum wage in 1968 was $1.62 per hour according to the federal government.
The pay gap should be wider, lazy lefties should receive no benefits, hard working Republican paid double and pay no taxes.
Also the Obums should leave the WH and reimburse the money they stole whislt in power. Never has an American President and his family been so LAZY.
Exactly so and “House Democrats are pushing to end the sequester and have offered legislation that would boost the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour and index it to inflation”!!!
Why $10.15 as the minimum wage? Every time they raise it they say it isn’t enough. Quit screwing around and make it $20.00... or $ 25.00...or $30.00. There are hundreds of ways to wreck an economy and raising the minimum wage is one of those. The stupidity of the Democrat Party is stunning...
Since the Democrats took over Congress in 2007, the median income has fallen by $3000.

Socialists seem to like income inequality, as long as they and their cronies are rich and everyone else is poor.
‘morally wrong’ = you’re right.
Where are we to turn for the moral standard?
Can we look to the Bible?
1 Thessalonians 4:11,12 says, “Study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; that ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.”
GAMBLING DISCOURAGES HONEST LABOR: The basic tenet of the bible is based on the idea that every person should give an honest day’s work for a honest day’s pay. To a degree, gambling discourages work. It encourages a person to simply wait on the lucky day when he will hit the number and rest from his life of waiting on the right number. It encourages him to find a “get rich quick” scheme and a short cut to wealth without applying the abundance of talents that God has given him in the market place of business and labor. Proverbs 28:19-20 puts it this way, “ He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.”
~Pastor Roosevelt Wright, Jr.

Yep, odumbo’s “pay gap” is too wide. He needs to be defunded, permanently.

Thanks very much for that.
We can easily see where he’s going with this.
I think Warren still owes his back taxes.
If the minimum wage is going to keep rising, why does unemployment pay at or below minimum wage even if your previous job paid in at several times the minimum wage?
If it is to be a “livable” amount, shouldn’t it fall more in line with the most recent/longest tenured wage for an employee?
So why doesn’t he just admit his policies didn’t work and turn the ship around? Because he’s vindictive.
