I say we demand 500 an hour! Then a part timer will earn half a million a year and everyone will be happy.

Yep, and that leather chair will cost you $50,000.00....the ottoman? Another 10k.

I am in favor of the 15 dollar minimum wage because employers will not pay 15 bucks to people who cannot speak English. We can help eliminate these low wage immigrant jobs and reverse the demographic changes in this country. On top of that we can stab the backstabbing cheap labor express in the front since they have been stabbing us in the back. We have to show we can hurt these Cofc Corporate types and hurt them bad. And this time we can lame all of the other problems caused we can blame it all on the Democrats.

You’d have to get rid of welfare for that to work.

The ‘Progressives’ will never allow the minimum wage hike to be attributed to job losses.

A few slashed jobs here and there is nothing. CA might wake up to reality when businesses move out of the state.

[IM2MAD]

Is that from Galt?

[stocksthatgoup]

San Bernardino? Do black jobs matter?

The Ashley manufacturing, assembly and distribution facility in NC just west of Winston-Salem seems to be doing well, they’re adding an interchange on I-40 to better handle the truck traffic to and from the plant. They’re always advertising open positions.

By shifting the majority of Colton production to other U.S. facilities we will create more efficiency and better use of existing capacity in our manufacturing network.

And we get to flip off the Califbureaucrat whackjobs... :)

Do you remember that president in 2000 & 2004? His fault.

How could I forget when the Democraps continue to say that even now.

Oh and Choir in addition:
the housing bubble was caused by the democraps, they held a gun to the head of the banks and made them give loans to people they knew would never pay them back.

You have to stick it to the donor-traitor class if you want to get anything done. It is hopeless until they change the way they think. The only way to get that done is to make sure that they (donor-traitor class pays for it and until that happens it is useless to get anything out of them.Don’t forget “they are working with the Democrats to get things done”.

“I say we demand 500 an hour!”

Brilliant idea, after a couple of years people would begin to take early retirement with all the riches they have earned at $500. an hour and that would open up jobs for others. Restaurants, amusement parks etc. would boom with all the new wealthy patrons. It would solve every problem known to man.

THIS COMMENT INTENDED ONLY TO ILLUSTRATE HOW REAL LIBERALS preTEND TO THINK. If you think I am exaggerating you don’t know any real liberals.

[thulldud]

Absolutely zero blame was placed on the higher minimum wage.

The point of the "elephant in the room" is that everybody knows it's there, even though nobody can mention it. But when they talk about why the whole place smells like peanuts, everybody knows what is meant.
