I do not care if they are a thousand dollars. They don’t have to worry about me buying one.

It’s easier than that, it’s because they’re evil and want more power.

My first full time job was at minimum wage of $1.25 and I was all of 13. Got an early dismissal from school each day at 13:00 and worked until 19:30 weekdays, 21:30 Friday, and from 07:30 until 19:30 every Saturday. I was in high cotton, as they say.

That minimum wage adjusted for inflation until today would be nearly $10.00 but naturally, the democrat fascists are appealing to their socialist supporters by going beyond just adjusting for inflation and cost of living which I think would be somewhat reasonable and rational.

Rational if this country still had manufacturing jobs and something like full employment for people with families to support. As things stand now, I don't know that the economy could support even adjusting the minimum wage to be the same as it was in real dollars back then.

Until immigration and crap like the H1-B scam are history, I don't see how small businesses or even franchises can stay in business with a $15.00 minimum wage and I'm not sure they could even support adjusting the minimum wage up to the equivalent of what it was back then, Every teenager who wanted a job could find one back in '64 but now? Anyone over fifty can't find a job if they lose the one they have and most teenagers who try to find jobs can't find one.

So far, Trump is the only one actually addressing the issue. The rest of the pack is just blowing smoke. The democrats aren't winning the support with this they think they will, either. Too many people already had their hours cut because of BarryCare and realize they'd be even worse off if the minimum wage went up.

So, the ever stupid American electorate put Barry in office twice and now we're all munching on the feces sandwich that is the result. So much for democracy as opposed to a Republic.

The last nail in the coffin of the Republic was the 17th Amendment.

The truth is that the Marxist Hard Left of the Democratic Party (including its 80 member Progressive Caucus, which basically includes all members of the racist/Marxist Black Congressional Caucus, aided by the leftist/Marxist Hispanic Caucus), control the DP. PERIOD.

The reds control the Blue States and lots of major American cities, the labor unions, the AFLCIO (was loaded with them), the unwashed, the uneducated/undereducated, welfare recipients, free IPhone owners, drug addicts, and political criminals.

Of course they want a $15 an hour minimum wage. They aren’t going to pay for it. We, the working class, will, and then there will be less of us, the working class.

Hey Dems, how do you say “Unemployment Line”, “free cheese”, welfare checks, EBT cards, and “Money for nothing and MTV”?

Try saying Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, John Conyers Jr., Nancy Pelosi (the biggest crook in Congress), etc.

Karl Marx is laughing his ass off because he didn’t think Americans were stupid enough to fall for this crap, but they are.

Groucho Marx, a patriot, is crying.

Sounds like they are admitting that there really has been massive inflation during “The Great ObamaNation’s” tenure and that a doubling of the minimum wage almost keeps up with it.

That was stupid but, from a Demonrat point of view, it was vote buying.

$30 pizzas, fast food automation, and more self-checkout lines at the grocery/hardware/department store. This is a law to ban the entry-level jobs that might otherwise teach the basic skill to allow people to hold better jobs.
