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.
Owch. That is very, very true and I had never thought of it. I found it disturbing ... I have a new rule to make what is disturbing, instructional. As it is very instructional.
Economic refugees who come here for better lives, can be bought with freebies; ideological refuges who come here for Constitutional freedoms certainly serve the nation better. No wonder liberals enable illegal immigrants so readily.
Although I have only ever been an employee and never an employer, minimum wage has always ticked me off because it is so very unconstitutional and seems a crazy burden on employers. In my world, entrepreneurs (left or right) who create businesses that in turn create jobs and wealth, are American heroes as much as honored veterans. The line is getting fuzzy as leftist businesses build themselves on government subsidies, such as "green" solar and architectural businesses existing because government rewards consumers for using them; government corrupts entrepreneurship the way minimum wage corrupts an honest work ethic. *sigh*
The minimum wage is an affront to liberty and morality, the moral liberty of capitalism, and the moral liberty of individuals to pursue happiness.
