Minimum wage is another thing only hurts the people that it was aimed to "help".

Oh spare me the BS on how the workers can trust big business to treat them far if they give them total free rain, What a load of crap every time there is talk about raising the min wage the GOP cries it will hurt bisiness and cause massive job loses then they add that nobody but teenagers get paid min wage, The greedie CEOS should all take a 200% pay cut and give each worker a living wage as trickle down was the biggest FU to the average worker

This isn't OCP from Robocop or the Umbrella Corporation! Take a look
around where you are at. While there may be alot of big businesses in certain areas, the majority of businesses are small businesses. And believe it or not, every business, big or small, has what is called "operating costs". That means there are costs that have to be met in order to maintain the company and still make a profit; updating/maintaining machinery and paying workers being some of them. If you overburden a company with exorbitant costs (like minimum wage and mandatory health insurance) they are going to do 1 of 3 things: 1) Try to maintain the current feasibility of the company without changing a thing, resulting in the company going under, 2) they will charge more for their products, or 3) they are going to cut costs by cutting work time or firing/laying off workers. Out of all of those choices, #3 is more than likely going to happen which screws the people that it is supposedly trying to help and also eliminates competition which means less work in general.

If you are so against businesses, there is something called "boycotting" and "voting with your checkbook".

Oh yeah Jen, read Article 1, Sections 7,8 and 9 of the US Constitution for what the role and powers of the Government should be.

So you think the average worker should get paid even less so the bussiness can make more profit in other words the rich get richer and the worker get the shaft, I hear the post office is runing in to debit so are you going to take a pay cut? Would you work for min or under? And give up you health ins? Some how i don't think you would

Generally pay cuts and cost cutting measures are a sign of how well a business is doing. If they are downsizing, then obviously the "rich aren't getting richer". I don't work for the post office, work is never beneath me and I don't use my company's health ins. plan because it is shitty and I can get better care by shelling out an extra buck.

Here's an idea: how about instead of pumping more troops into Afghanistan or focus on hunting al-Qaeda in Pakistan-killing all-too-replaceable cannon fodder-we start exterminating the firebrands inspiring the bastards in the first place? A mullah goes home from his latest day of hatemongering and gets a good night's sleep, courtesy of a suppressed TT-33! 7.62x25 Tokarev to the brain, you goat-fucking son of a bitch!
