So say it, I was making way too much at 2.00/hr in 1974 compared to today. Say it to my face.

It’s not that you were making too much in 1974, it’s that employers made more profit back then, and could pay you $2.00/hr.
Taxes and regulations make that (inflation adjusted) wage impossible today.

BTW, why are you a FReeper? You sure don’t sound like one.

Which one of us OWES you anything?

I believe in work, and the minimum wage is a no brainer. If Republicans want to be on the losing side of an issue then this is a big one. Seal the borders, and let min wage keep up with inflation. Nothing wrong with that. If that is controversial then so be it.
