tr8er Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Having a choice of Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is like being given a choice to jump out of an airplane without a parachute, or get a handjob from Edward Scissorhands. It's just plain messy either way. ;) I choose Airplane. But I'm not sure which candidate that is 1 Link to comment

Mattndew76 Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 So a $7.00 increase can create a marginal living wage, but if you gave them a $13.00 increase then they can afford all sorts of better living. See then no one has to be on government assistance then. 1 Link to comment
paradime Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 yes you made your point, 15 is not a magic number, it is an arbitrary number. The conservative line is usually inflation, and competitive pricing in the global market. where are you on that? Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 yes you made your point, 15 is not a magic number, it is an arbitrary number. The conservative line is usually inflation, and competitive pricing in the global market. where are you on that? I am not on that. I appreciate you seeing the point. If the economy was as good as what the media is projecting then the minimum wage issue probably would be largely a background issue and not up front. We are seeing a potemkin economy right now. No wealth is being made among the lower tiers of income and this will exacerbate this fight for more wealth. When our national economy start to uptick at a steady 3% or more then large groups of these people protesting for this will fall off, because more jobs with a higher rate of earning should/would be available. Right now we have falsified growth being spread around to make legacies look good for powerful people. Our economy needs to become a growth econ vs Stagnant for this to really be fruitful for anyone. Para I think we argue for similar goals under different words. Link to comment

tr8er Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I took my first job pouring concrete moulds when I was 14. Started at $11 but settled at $13 if I recall. I was quite grateful to have the work and I was very upset to have to quit at the end of summer to start high school. But it was that job that got me my first car. My Z. 3 Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Just reinforces the point that if you came from a craphole of a country to the US because it's such a great country, then why do you want to change the US once you get here? Swap "state" for "country" and "Oregon" for "the US" and it's exactly how I feel about Californians. 5 Link to comment

I might agree, but California is awesome save the libtards. It's even awesome despite them if you have enough money :\ 1 Link to comment
