If you, and other socialists like you, are successful in getting minimum wages increased, you will at the same time increase the cost of manufacturing almost everything.

Well, prepare yourself for a fight. I don't give a rat's ass about minimum wages. I want our Barbie Doll jobs back. They would have paid slightly more than what the minimum wage is now. But no, they all went to China so little girls could have a whole roomful of cheap Barbie dolls.

I'm going to see what I can do to help out those people on the website that is the topic of this post. But first I intend to do some more research on how Wal Mart has treated their employees around the country. They don't sound like they are much into compensation for people injured on the job.

They don't sound like socialists over there to me, but they do sound like Democrats. They care about America and American jobs. My first question will be if there are any Republicans or independents working with them.

I think Wal Mart is starting to run a little scared. They have been getting some bad pr.

Now I don't wish to talk to you any more either.

"Over there" is a Union group.

This whole thread should be zotted for being sourced from there.

Accept the fact that you are not a conservative, no matter what you think about gay marriage and jihadists.

Sounds like a ZOT to me

You have indoor plumbing?

You obviously have access to the internet.

You indicate you have had access to medications that were not available fifty years ago.

I assume you don't weigh less than your recommend weight, and are not starving.

You have a refrigerator?

When I'm feeling sorry for myself, the Holy Spirit sometimes chides me that I am really very lucky to have creature comforts that many generations and kings never dreamed of.

"This is a day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it."

One of the steps of recovery from depression is to stop turning your anger in on yourself and turn it outward.

I am glad you have taken that step, but I hope you continue to progress toward a belief that you can take some control of your life, that you are not just the a pawn of fate.

A good way is to turn your thoughts outward to do something for others.

You aren't going to affect change at Wal-Mart by grousing about it on FreeRepublic. If you feel so strongly about worker's rights, maybe you should volunteer for a Union to help them promote their cause.

Or there are many other causes that could make you feel you are doing something worth while.

Me, I do care packages for the troops. I find it very rewarding.

That's it. Just stick your fingers in your ear and say "La-la-la!"

So you don't wish to speak to me or others who disagree with you?

Sounds like a concession speech to me. Or a surrender.

Just like Lee handed Grant his sword at Appomattox.....

Hence, Republicans don't care about America or American jobs. Why are you a member of FR?
