"I would rather see people get paid enough at work so they don't have to empower government."

You sound like a democrat, i.e., one who is very good at spending other people's money in an effort to help your fellow man.

If you are so concerned about people having good paying jobs, I suggest that you start your own company, make sure your workers are unionized, and they you just go right ahead and pay them as much as you like. I certainly support your right to pay your workers as much as you think is fair.

You sound like a democrat

The classic line of a poster with no coherent argument. A democrat would want to directly tax businesses to redistribute the money to the poor as well as raise the minimum wage. I want the company to have to fulfill the legal contract it signed. See the difference?

And of course I want to see people make enough to not have to empower government by signing up for entitlement programs. What's "democrat" about that?

I suspect that you just hate unions and are glad to see these "lazy" workers lose their jobs. "Lazy" workers who don't get to sit around all day posting on political message boards instead of working, that is.
