Hillary and her liberal friends want to raise the minimum wage - have the taxpayers foot the bill for their failed policies.

Liberal elites don't pay.

And taxes?!

"Taxes are for the little people" Hillary has her Foundation that shelters her $Billions - a growing nest egg laid at her feet by giving speeches and selling access (including to foreign countries) - it is her private slush fund (and her private emails are nicely out of reach), a huge and growing pot of money to pass on (without tax worries) to her heirs.

“Liberal elites don’t pay.”

I once spoke to a military officer who worked in the John F. Kennedy White House. He told me JFK never carried a wallet or cash on his person. If he was in a public situation where he needed money, say worshiping in a church when the collection plate was being passed, he would turn to the aide or Secret Service agent closest to him and ask for a $20.00 bill. The current buying power of $20 in 1963 is $153.41. At the time a Secret Service agent made about $400 per month so a single $20 “loan” to JFK represented 5% of gross income!

Unfortunately, Kennedy never reimbursed the agents for the cash he took from them and the agents were not permitted to file for reimbursement of money given to the President for personal use.

Considering the wealthy people I’ve known, liberals, particularly those who became wealthy through inheritance, tend to be extremely snobbish, class conscious, flashy, self promoting, and stingy with their money. I’ve found almost all self made conservative millionaires to be generous, respectful, and humble.

Yet it is the liberals who claim to love the common man.

I have a pet peeve when eating out. I like my coffee with cream and sugar and my ice tea with sugar and lemons. If that waitress comes by my table and automatically tops my cup without asking, she loses her tip. I have it mixed the way I like it and I expect them to ask if I want it topped.

I just thought I’d take advantage of this thread to get the message out.

I guess I’m as bad as Hillary.

Why would one tip in a fast food restaurant where you aren’t receiving any service other than food preparation?

You don’t tip at McDonalds or Burger King.

Now, at a sit down, service at the table restaurant, I’ll tip in excess of 20% most of the time, but I don’t put money in tip jars next to the cash registers.

Hope Charles’ taxes are all in order, I see an IRS audit in his future.
