Comments on: Minimum Wage Hike Approved

New Rate Of $7.25 By Summer 2009 Is First Raise Since 1997

[processor2]

Of my 15 employees, I will have to layoff 3 of them in order to pay for this increase.

It will get to a point, machines will be cheaper than people.
Actually now that I think about it, that's not a bad idea.

LOL! That was a good one!

I'd like to see any of these jokers try to survive on $5.15 an hour, or even $7.25. Given that they only actually work about 20 hours a week, that would be very interesting!

Socialism, in its purest form, is a wonderful thing. But, alas, there will always be some idiot who comes along and screws it up for everyone. Being socially conscience is what has sustained this country for this long. It was after Reagan and "Me" generation got thiers did this country start on this downward spiral!

Socialist or capitalist..any system can be abused if the leaders are corrupt... no one is saying that a Burger flipper needs to make more than a governor...

but just because your business lands on the stock exchange should not make you GOD either.

Since becoming a bloodthirsty businessman is not everyones cup of tea... they should be doomed to serfdom?

WOW! look how fast CBS (Corrupt Broadcasting Station) is moving the "Iraq Funding" story out of the headlines. The story on Al Sadr will probably be here all day. More:


Take a look at yesterday's CBS News/New York Times poll. Yes, 63% of those surveyed (including 81% of Dems and 61% of Independents) said the United States should set a "timeline for withdrawal" in 2008.

But the following question asked whether Congress should block all funding of the troops, allow funding for the troops without conditions, or pursue a middle course that allows funding on the condition that the United States "sets benchmarks for progress and the Iraqi government are meeting those goals" - which is exactly what last night's bill did. Phrased that way, 69% of those surveyed were in favor of funding with benchmarks (including 73% of Democrats and 69% of Independents).

Look at it another way. Clinton, Obama, and Dodd just placed themselves on the short end of an 80-14 vote. And of the eleven who joined them in voting against the bill, three were Republicans (Burr, Coburn, and Enzi) who did so out of principle against pork. That leaves the three Democratic presidential hopefuls standing next to Russ Feingold, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Pat Leahy, Barbara Boxer, Sheldon Whitehouse, Ron Wyden, and socialist Bernie Sanders.


There you have it 69% of Americans APPROVE of the bill that was passed last night......propaganda works in strange ways doesn't it?????

[The Government wants to make us subservient to them. At least that is what the LIBERALs want.]
