The minimum wage being at $7.3=25 per hour IS a joke, and it SHOULD be reset much higher, at, say, $10.50 per hourOur low minimum wage, and the fact that much of the middle class's wages will soon be heading in that direction if we don't stop this unionbusting and outsourcing, is something everyone in the US should be ashamed and angry about. All the more reason NOBODY except millionaires have any reason to vote Republican this year!Jack Jodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165430903903838990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-87121445540529055682010-10-20T02:53:57.840-05:002010-10-20T02:53:57.840-05:00Just to play devil's advocate here for a momen...Just to play devil's advocate here for a moment: sometimes I think that it'd be a good idea to abolish the minimum wage.<br />The minimum wage is a great idea. But let's face it, at the current level it is set at, it's a sick joke.<br />It's impossible for anyone to earn even a basic living on the minimum wage. You can't pay rent, buy food, and pay for the basics on the minimum wage at the level it's set at.<br />In fact, the current minimum wage isn't even close to being at the level where someone can earn a basic living.<br />So frankly, it kind of annoys me that we as a nation even have something we call a "minimum wage," when we set it at such an obscenely low level.<br />It's almost like we're patting ourselves on back and smugly claiming that we're a "civilized" nation----not like those "backward" Third World nations that have no minimum wage at all.<br />I guess what I'm trying to say is that, unless we set minimum wage at a sane level, there's no point in even having one.<br />If we were honest with ourselves as a nation, we'd just abolish this sick joke of a "minimum wage" that we have now (and admit that we are in fact are a Third World nation in many ways these days).<br />If we could set minimum wage at a reasonable level, then I'd be all for it. But with GOP obstructionism, there's no way that will ever happen.Marc McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105754072842852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-71638481413606773012010-10-17T09:21:56.530-05:002010-10-17T09:21:56.530-05:00Hello Jack,

I just did a piece on the Tea Party wanting to return back to “Jim Crow Laws” like Paul is publicly running on. It contains facts and photos supporting this statement.<br /><br />With the legislation aspect of nothing more than “Obstruction,” should the Republicans take over and push through laws that just favor CEO’s of Corporations, at least there is a man in the White House that can VETO these bastardization laws. Maybe by 2012 the populace citizens of this country can be educated within this next two years.Engineer of Knowledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179784871538454388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-53338772958852019622010-10-17T00:24:21.286-05:002010-10-17T00:24:21.286-05:00Max's Dad,

Part of the way they achieve that is by making everybody think that a tax increase on THEM will cost jobs (it doesn't) and will mean an increase on everyone's taxes (that, too, is a nyth). And I think some naive fools believe that they, too, will one day be rich and won't want to pay high taxes once they get there. So along with ignorance, we could also say naivete or stupidity...Jack Jodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165430903903838990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-61432518763765509732010-10-16T23:01:49.329-05:002010-10-16T23:01:49.329-05:00It amazes me that millionaires can get the middle ...It amazes me that millionaires can get the middle class to do their dirty work for them.
