Outofsalt's post 10 -- admittedly, just idle speculation but not really all that far beyond the pale. Salt's comment:

If the national minimum wage goes to $15/hr. full time workers will pay at least some taxes.

When I was a teen, it was $2 and that seemed like pure riches to me. I bussed dishes and was paid in cash.

Have you ever been to Mexico?

Sorry, friend jimmyray — meant to ping you to post 62. It’s kind close to my heart. I like a lot of Mexicans.

I oppose the national minimum wage as unconstitutional. Can someone can point to anything there (other than the, “general welfare” phrase that the libs use to justify anything they darn well please) that gives the feds that power? Besides, $15 is crap in NYC, real money in Podunk but, inflationary everywhere.

I began my work life at minimum wage and am now in the highest bracket. That is the key to American success. I am a first generation immigrant from a commie paradise. If I leave any to my kids they could easily be back at the bottom bracket in no time. Freedom and responsibility are ideals we came here for.

I don’t blame economic refugees for trying to come here but ideological refugees serve the nation better. Liberals prefer the economic refugees because they can be bought with freebies.
