Thank you! *huge grin*
Yep, congratulations indeed!
I heard an hispanic guy speaking from the comedy club where richards did his rant make the remark..........we thought we were getting Kramer and we got Mark Furman. What a disgusting despicable comment.
There will be an increase in the minimum wage. No amount of logic is going to change that. It's a done deal.
Fat Teddy wants to rise it and rise it.
Great picture of R.R.

They act like raising the Minimum Wage is some kind of cure all...IMHO it just encourages people to remain in mediocre jobs and not try and look for something better.
Not to mention that it will do nothing but increase costs tot he consumers and an increase in unemployment as employers compensate for an increase in wage expenditures.
I remember working for minimum wage back when it was 3.25/hr...talk about motivation to move upward and onward!
That was Paul Rodriguez...racism disguised as comedy doesn't work no matter who is saying it.
That would be wonderful for the country.
Raise the minimum wage for the few LOWERS everyone else's wages.
Never heard of the guy. That said, I thought what Kramer did ws disgusting. And to joke about dragging people behind trucks. I don't find any of that schtick funny, or even slightly acceptable.
It's axiomatic that raising the minimum wage will raise unemployment.
It makes you wonder sometimes if the Democrats want to raise the minimum wage so that the unemployment rate will go up and they can find something with which to criticize the President about the economy.
Me too
you have freepmail
More people unemployed = more people relying on a government check (unemployment benefits...welfare...etc)...more people succumbing to the Libs "womb to tomb" philosophy of life.
LOL

aw YES...you are very right...when he went into that "story" about how some guy in Chicago told him that he voted for a Dem for the first time since 1980...
WHY? Oh, Newts said...because of Katrina and to teach Washington a lesson.
THAT is where the MEDIA just totally (and I include Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham) have screwed President Bush...from the minute the hurricane hit...all fingers were pointed at President Bush..and NO ONE points fingers to Louisiana politicians.
When I hear Newt say that last night...I decided from now on...when he is on TV or radio..I do NOT listen.
Raising the Minimum Wage is actually the dims' clever way of taking money from your hip pocket and mine to pay off their buddies in the Labor Unions, when they take those increases as justification to increase THEIR demands.
I'm not an economist, but I'd guess that every dollar of minimum wage increase winds up costing three times that amount in taxes and labor costs.
Then, if you factor in the long term costs in terms of chronically unemployed, underemployed or welfare cases that result from their lousy shell game, it makes Johnson's so-called War on Poverty look like a piker.
Did I mention that they're also trying to buy some more voter base for the next few elections as well?
