you know what really bothers me? EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE AS FUCK! Everyone says globalization and free trade makes things cheaper, but last time I checked all my shoes and underwear are made in Asia and they are twice as expensive as they were 7 years ago! Everything from Starbucks cofee to agriculture to socks to videogames are more fuckin expensive day by day...yet inflation is low right? Some one please speak on this...not too up on my econ.

hahahahahah starbucks and viodeo games, the true essentials of mankind

An entire paragraph of nothing. Thanks phil for your ingenious insight.
well do you disagree? if we raised the minimum wage to 15.00 an hour do you think poverty would vanish? no because its not about the money. it has something to do with fiscal responsibility and a basic understanding of economics. something that poor people do not have. i think education is the answer to reducing poverty because nothing will ever erase poverty or the fact that SOME PEOPLE ARE SATISFIED WITH THAT LIFESTYLE. whether you agree or not.

just admit it. you want to raise the minimum wage more for the punishment of the people paying the wages rather than the benefit for the ones receiving minimum wage. just admit it.

you might have to have been poor and underpriveleged at some point in your life to understand this though so forgive me if what im saying flies right over your head.

Again phil? A post every three minutes? Why not just calm yourself, think about what you want to say, then type it in a single post? You don't have to do this ADD shit every time you speak to me.
what do you expect? i have a.d.d. asshole so get over it. i dont think its the fact that i have multiple posts that bothers you, rather the basic undeniable logic found in some of them.

phil, you have no logic. You never had any logic on this site to begin with.
so logic is this

increase the minimum wage to 7.00 an hour to lift poor folks out of poverty or
national id cards will control your brain and make you slaves to the nazi republican skull and bones bushites

Who said anything about raising the wage to 7/hour?

national id cards will control your brain and make you slaves to the nazi republican skull and bones bushites
I don't fall into the NWO/Illuminati conspiracy theory category like other people on this site do and I never implied anything about the national ID cards other than posting what was recently made public.

Again, you have no logic, not even when you try to diss me.

Which article are you referring to? There are 5-6 articles in this thread. The article I posted today which you posted after doesn't mention anything about $7 min wage.

The first article on page 1 explains how a federal min wage increase was shot down and that its the lowest its been in over 50 years.

wasnt the articles implication that by NOT raising the minimum wage we are keeping poor people poorer???
The first article talks about how there has not been a min wage increase in years. Because costs of living increase and the pay is the same, yes phil that is making the poor poorer dipshit. Is that difficult to understand or is it too much for your ADD brain to handle? (do you follow me or are you distracted by something else? Cat. Hungry. Taco. Communism. Siccness. Mom. Car insurance. Wait? Where am I? How did I get to the siccness. Spock?)

ITS NOT THE GOVTS JOB TO MAKE UP FOR DUMBASSES WHO STAY IN SHITPAYING JOBS. i understand full and well. its you, my comrade who doesnt.

youre saying the govt is making the poor poorer by them not having an increase in minimum wage at their jobs. AKA ENTRY LEVEL JOBS

THAT MEANS YOURE NOT MEANT TO MAKE A LIVING OFF OF IT. NOT ALL JOBS ARE FOR A SINGLE MOM WITH 12 KIDS TO MAKE A LIVING OFF OF. OR DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? THE WAGE ISNT THE CULPRIT HERE, ITS FOOLS LIKE YOU WHO WANT PEOPLE TO BITCH AND PROTEST AGAINST LOW WAGES INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY GOING AND BETTERING THEMSELVES TO MAKE MORE.

INSTEAD OF PREPARING THESE PEOPLE FOR REAL LIFE WITH EDUCATION AND A FUTURE INSTEAD OF TRYING TO MAKE THEM THINK STOCKING SHELVES AT KMART SHOULD LAND THEM AN ESCALADE AND A HOUSE IN A GATED COMMUNITY WE NEED TO BE TEACHING THEM SOMETHING.

BUT NAH ITS EASIER TO PROTEST AND GET PAID 7 AN HOUR INSTEAD OF 5 AS OPPOSED TO FIGHTING FOR INCREASED FUNDING FOR EDUCATION.

ITS LIKE THIS, YOU WANT PEOPLE TO STAY IN SHIT JOBS MEANT FOR HIGH SCHOOL KIDS AND GET PAID MORE FOR IT.

I WANT PEOPLE TO BE EDUCATED AND GET BETTER PAYING JOBS AND SAVE THE SHIT JOBS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARENT RELYING ON IT TO SUSTAIN A LIVING.
