There are too many ideologues, here, who either don't know this, or actively want a revolution.
Naturally, whoever wrote this bill had to stuff as much pork as he thought it would hold. The problem is that you have HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of baby boomers who bought into this whole work hard and you will thrive, and today they just lost the farm.
They worked their whole lives, were proud they never took a dime from the Feds. The Pols, Dem and Rhino, raped them, blandly drove the jobs overseas, over taxed and over-regulated the remainders, until now 1 in every 5 workers, NATIONWIDE is out of work, big boatloads of them past 50, the knees are going, the eyes aren't as sharp, they know an industry that isn't working VERY well.
So here we have all these smug little pud-pullers saying, "Well, what's wrong with Micky Dee's?" Minimum wage ain't gonna save your house. It ain't gonna feed your kids. It ain't gonna pay the utilities. AND EVEN WALMART IS FULL UP!!!
41,000 hires, NATIONWIDE, LAST MONTH!!!
How many of these keyboard killers, after years of sitting on their Obamas, think they can just go back to loading pallets, on the night shift, without any health insurance, without hitting the floor with a cardiac infarction?
I'm beginning to think that DU just might have a minor point or two...
All true, all true. Sad, but all true.
