>Ever notice when a liberal supports Federal spending its >the "governemnt's" money. When they are against it, its >the "taxpayers'" money.

>What other time have we ever heard a liberal looking out >for "taxpayers"?????

Nice try, but liberals are all about raising the minimum wage. If you read the article, you might have noticed that little point where he stated Wal-Mart could feel free to give pay raises on their own without having it mandated from the government.

I for one thing minimum wage is a load of crap anyway. Why should the government be able to tell you how much you have to pay your employees? If they want the job, they'll work for the wages you offer.

I'm sure the Delphi union members will soon learn how that works.

I would agree about minimum wage but, How about we let the market decide wages? I would offer that your 'want a job' statement would work both ways if the Illegal labor force was removed. If they want someone to do the work they will offer a wage worth doing it.

The little rascals were building a wagon with room enough for all of them to ride. The boy charged with installing the wheels on the multitude of axles was making good progress as the wheels were handed to him by another lad. It wasn't till he got to the end of the job and looked back that he realized he had been handed the same two wheels over and over, one having been removed while he was installing the other. A good picture of the American consumers and Walmart, respectively.
