Also, a raised minimum wage means people on welfare can do nothing and make more than sitting on the couch all day. By getting them to think about working for more, the govt doesn't have as many leeches sucking on its teet, and they would not want that.

You have to remember these tricky politicians know what their doing when talking without real plans. But hey if they say it loud enough the lazy people they talk to will be glued in on the couch cheering them on while the rest of the working world pays for it all.
 
On Pawn Stars they said in 2012 we spent the most all time on military/defense. That true? Why did our president do that?
 
The raised minimum wage is just the newest pandering from the left. The left is more than willing to mortgage the future of the country in any way possible just to hold onto power.

Nevermind the fact if you actually look at the financials, companies can/will only afford so much in labor costs. Raise the minimum wage? Jobs will be cut. Actually adding more to the ever growing government teet.

Also nevermind the fact that minimum wage is intended for entry level positions, to be tolerated while you improve your life by either education, training, and/or promotion. It isnt intended to give someone a grand lifestyle. You wont be able to go out and live it up, or have a nice car. It will give you valuable opportunities to better yourself. But no, its better to reward apathy by encouraging their base to just exist and not worry about doing anything to better themselves.

And thats the real injustice their base doesnt realize. By keeping you on the teet, or encouraging minimum wage careers - the left is locking their base in mediocrity with a glass ceiling; and their base is gleefully voting for it all the way.

Raising the minimum wage sounds good if you've never worked in/owned a small business with employees. That's really all there is to it.

It seems asinine to have a single minimum wage throughout the country. The cost of living varies far too much from zip code to zip code.

The issue of minimum wage could easily be resolved by congress by passing a simple bill that would first bring the wage up to historical levels and second index it to inflation so that it would automatically rise or fall depending on the inflation index.
Historically, there was no minimum wage. No indexing zero would be a breeze.

The national min wage should be set based on the lowest cost of living areas then left to local governments to set it higher if they deem in necessary.
 
Joaquin Guzman Loera, known as "El Chapo," the kingpin of the Sinaloa cartel was issued a California Driver's License according to a report from Univision. The documents obtained by the Hispanic network are from a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) report where it states the drug lord obtained his license in 1988 under one of his aliases, Max Aragon. The document shows "El Chapo's" face picture, the issue date, his height, age and an alleged address in the city of Los Angeles. According to the report from the DEA, the license was used by Guzman to register two Corvette's he bought in L.A. to later gift to public officials in Mexico.
 
I'll let the left raise the min wage... if the right can eliminate unemployment benefits.

Dems; get off your butt and start contributing.
 
7 years into it and you can name 1 piece of legislation that was pretty universally objected to by most all the Democrats in Washington.
Yes, having Sanders in the race will require HRC to move left, just like how any centrist GOP candidate must move right for their primary.
But how could HRC go left if she was already "far left" as you guys have been saying?
Voting record said she was 11th most liberal/left senator during her time. So, she can still move a little more to the left. But for you that is still be too far right.

Yes, and after settting that, they should make sure that those on welfare do not live better than those on minimum wage. Therefore, making more people think about working than living off of the government teet.

Hillary flat out lied about receiving a subpoena for her private server contents. This should disqualify her, and would, if she were Scott Walker or John Kasich, but probably endears her even more to her supporters.

There should be no federal minimum wage, period. If CA wants to implement a $15 minimum wage, they can go ahead and do what they please (So long as the federal government never bails a state out from its crippling financial choices).
 
Hey, here's a novel idea. How about the Federal gov't just take over all businesses in America and then set a Gov't wage based on your skill set.

Yep. Big Media would probably still let her get away with that "vast right-wing conspiracy" excuse for Bill's roving eye.

Meanwhile, the R that runs against her won't even be able to make a ham sandwich, without having his technique critiqued by everyone. MSNBC reports: "Too much mayo! Is it a sign of KKK support?"
 
El Chapo better step up his mustache game if he expects to compete w/ Trump's hair.

Or better yet, how about the Fed govt get out of every non-essential business and let the free market dictate winners and losers.

You get the wage based on your need. Your job is based on your skill set.

I was being sarcastic Bill.

It's ridiculous for Deee to think that low wage end workers should be awarded with pay that equals a bachelors or a Masters.
 
The system is failing before our eyes. Do we have the stomach to handle a restart that it's going to require?

Who you got? El Chapo threatens Donald Trump. One on one, I would take Trump.

Who knows the seriousness of it all, but if I had the most powerful Drug Cartel leader (or someone in his circle) messaging me I would be a little concerned. Trump has struck a nerve with some bad people.

How true, remember the Mark Rubio water bottle incident. It took center stage.
 
Its well known that the unions hate Walker for taking some of their power away for the good of the entire state. The important take away is that the voters and the state Supreme Court ultimately supported Walker over the unions.

Conservatives and labor need to workout their differences. they need each other for long term survivability.
There are many a union member that is disgusted with how the democrats have treated them.
I know some will read this and immediately reject it, butvots obvious that democrats just see them as a voting block now. They don't do anything for them. Nafta and this atrocity Obama is pushing now never passes without a democrat president.

There's an oppurtunity brewing for conservatives to grasp, and they're gonna need it to win the White House im afraid.

So this happened under Ronald Reagan a republican president and George Deukmejian, a republican governor.

Honestly, does it surprise anyone that a drug kingpin with literally billions at their disposal could manage to get any document they wanted?

Kind of hard to serve two masters. The GOP has tried to use the "guns and God" approach to reach into the blue collar ranks for the last couple of decades. The Republican Party has long been the friend of business thus putting them on the other side of the table from labor.
You've got to pick a side and then hope you can fool those on the other side into thinking you're on their side too.

Possibly, but Hilary isn't the usual case of media treated Dems differently than Repubs. The Clintons are unique, I think, in American political history. There have been so many scandals involving the Clintons that in a weird way they are inoculated. It's a sort of built in and accepted factor on the part of the public. Yeah, if most any other candidate brazenly lied, they'd be done. But not her. And I really don't think it's media coverage that determines that. I vividly recall January 1998 and the Lewinski thing, and any other political figure in American history would not have survived that week. Rightly or wrongly, anyone else would've been done.......

Then something needs to change, because the democrats are killing the middle working class. the last thing we need right now is TPP or whatever it's called. But Obama is bound and determined to push it through, and apparently the democrats in congress won't stop him.

Not sure how you're pinning the TPP on Democrats when Obama is about the only Democrat supporting it? How are the Democrats in congress supposed to stop it when they don't control either house?

You're worried about the middle-class yet you vote Republican?
You still waiting on that trickle-down to reach you???
 
The democrats could stop it, especially in the senate. Yea I vote republican because I don't like to be told it's raining while someone is pissing down my back.
Democrats and republicans opposed it, but one is supposed to be the party of the working man right?
if they had stuck to that it never passes or if a republican president had tried to pass it.
