I am freaking tired of the idiots. Let’s be done with this. Raise the stupid minimum wage to 25 bucks per hour and be done with. Burgers will cost 30 bucks a pop. Unemployment will hit 20 pct and the economy will implode and we can get this war started! I’ve got 40k rounds of 223 and implements to utilize them. Let’s get it on!

And that will do what?
Tell people that are to lazy to improve that the Government will carry them?
If you can not live on minumum wage then aspire to do better. Look for a different job, get educated, go into the military and get job training etc. etc. But the Democrats answer is you are to stupid or too lazy or to whatever to improve on your own so let us “the Government” take care of you. You think that comes free? You will learn...........

That’s a good question. Was Dr King’s content of character phrase even mentioned? Or, was this another “Wellstone” event?

Was the Geico lizard there pushing saving a lot of money on car insurance as part of King’s “I have a dream”.

I truly believe at this point the only people that truly honor Martin Luther King Jr’s message are white conservatives.

The states have never amended the Constitution to grant Congress the specific power to regulate intrastate wages.

They way they stuff words in dead people’s mouths, I want to know when Pelosi is going to come out with the ad of MLK dancing around the room with his new Hoover “Hope and Change” vacuum cleaner.

When has this stopped Congress? They have forced us all to buy health insruance or be jailed and fined.

RESET will be coming. And in computer lingo, it is going to be a hard reset.

What's a "living wage", and who does it benefit or penalize if it is not earned?

I thought the living wage was to honor Cesar Chavez?

Or maybe that was last month?

Pelosi Statement on Cesar Chavez DayPelosi Statement on Cesar Chavez Day - March 30, 2013:


"Today, the spirit of Cesar Chavez lives on in our ongoing fight for progress for the Hispanic community and for the American people. It continues in the fight to make the minimum wage a living wage and to ensure equal pay for equal work.

Who will she honor with a living wage next month?

....By making the minimum wage a living wage.....

Uhhhh, wasn't it the Honorable(/s) Horrible Pelosi that tried to exempt Samoa from the last minimum wage increase. The very island that contains Starkist, heavily invested in by her husband and a huge San Fran contributor to her coffers? That Honorable Pelosi?

It's just amazing what the low info voter will swallow.

$100 an hour??? Why not just pay everyone a million a year and solve all the problems!

See the pictures from the speeches after they left the mall?

Place was trashed! After 8/28? cleaner than before.

Any questions?
