‘Give America a raise ‘

Must be why ****head in the White Hut is trying to pass an increase in the minimum wage. He wants to turn low wage jobs into high paying jobs so his job approval numbers can improve. LOL! Oh man. Communist DemocRATS are something else. The government forcing a “fries guy” job into becoming a “good, high paying job” requiring a Ph.D in Angry Women Studies. Whadda country!

The more obvious signs of financial reality have been disguised by massive wealth transfers, and by manipulations of the monetary supply (referred to as “quantitative easing”) that have artificially propped up the stock markets. Meanwhile, real measures of relative average wealth are falling precipitously, and whatever “growth” there is more akin to the growth of a cancerous tumor, threatening the very existence of the rest of the economy.
Yep.
Other lost terms are “homeless,” and “right to privacy.”
I grabbed that pic, good one!
