Obama is calling for a raise in the minimum wage.  Americans say "It’s about fucking time!"



"Yeah, I’ve seen some weird shit"

Fuck that.  Then the price of everything else (services, goods) just goes up in lockstep and anyone who *isn’t* working for peanuts will face devaluation in their spending power equal to whatever increase MW received, with no increase in actual income to match.

Yeah, screw that.  How about stop printing so much money and bring inflation under control?  How about balancing tghe budget and stopping of this entitelment programs?  Stop taxing small business out of existence to make some jobs possible that pay more than minimum wage?

9$/hour isn’t going to help anyone.

Right now it’s impossible to live working full time making minimum wage. This system is broken and needs to be fixed somehow. These big businesses need to be responsible for their workers that need extra financial assistance.
