I have a liberal friend (yeah, I know, shame on me) and made the articles point about minimum wage and how it actually hurts jobs. He actually responded with “that’s a really good point that I never thought of”. I am going to flip him some day or another. Haha.
I wish I could find the article from Walter E. Williams (I’m pretty sure it was him) wherein he made the point about how minimum wage also hurts existing workers.
For example, take a 2-year employee who started at minimum wage, learned the job and demonstrated commitment, got raises and is now making $10/hour. If you now start hiring newbies at the same wage, doesn’t the employee with longevity also immediately deserve a raise commensurate with his level of experience and added value?
Most in the congress who have never ran businesses seem to ignore that inconvenient truth. It’s inflation, plain and simple.
She was shocked and amazed that he ‘may not’ be a citizen; that he has no record available about his 'education; that "Rev." Wright screamed obnsenities and treasonous hate-speech for 20 years in "O's" presence; that Communist anti-Americans mentored him and routinely contribute to his campaign; that he is a Socialist (she whispered this word); that he has associations with criminals and other objectionable organizations like ACORN...etc.
She was also in wide-eyed awe that it was all familiar to me and that I had known about all this from the beginning of “O’s” notoriety in American public life!!!
She said “I am voting against this jerk’...and I know she voted FOR him to begin with!!
