Oh for gods sake. Going up 90 cents which 45 cents goes to taxes isn’t going to kill anyone. We went up 4 dollars in the last couple years in many areas. I think the minimum wage should get the raise social security gets every year. Maybe they will make the social security raise more serious. And no I don’t get SS for over 25 years.

So you’re saying the revolution can’t be resisted, eh? Imagine saying “that ship has sailed” with respect to the NSDAP’s increasing depredations during the 1930s.

If the media reports on another country’s business, it has poked its nose in for me. And I don’t feel bad, what with all those self-righteous countries poking their noses in here especially shining lights on those who seek to reassert the Constitution.

Hidden Nugget: The Utopian Social Democratic Paradise of Germany has a minimum wage that is a full 1/3 lower than the ones Letists are pushing for here.
