Help Me Out - How Will
 
Raising the minimium wage to $9.50 an hour really help this country out?

Danzig 10-28-2008 05:54 PM

it won't.
you know, unemployment made it's first leap above 6% at the same time the min wage increase went into effect.
my daughter and a co-worker were two casualties. but i'm sure the workers who kept their jobs were appreciative of getting the raise.

wages have to keep up with growth. this is a huge problem.

We are completely reactionary. We are going to try to make up for the times minimum wage should have been raised by doing it when the timing couldnt be worse.

Yes...brilliant.

From what I've read on here, I don't think many care about wages keeping up. It's pretty much a me 1st group. If they don't have to do those jobs, then they pretty much don't care about those that do. So, your argument is not gunna register, because they don't care if those people lose ground. They don't care about it. Of course, they are gunna say that it's better to have those jobs that pay less n' less real money. I think the key is to get to a more populated area. If you're in a sparsely populated area, then the availability of jobs is gunna be sporadic. Maybe we should let country folk have a lower minimum wage. They're pretty much unteachable when it comes to this issue. Part of the reason many are poor in the 1st place is they aren't good at figuring out who cares the most about helping them.

Another one for the SkidsMom Library of the Outrageous.

Geeker dissects in pieces parts fashion...and starts from the end.

Much like I read magazines.


It works.

i'm a me first kinda guy.

i always thought minimum wage was something society used to teach teenagers how important learning a real skill was.

He is instructing country bumpkins how to live just like he does 40+ year old moms.

Like I said, you can't understand it, because you don't respect these people. No, it's not just teenagers that have to take jobs like this. I understand the point about skills, but you have to give these people some way to keep up with expenses that keep going up. There's a balance that needs to be maintained. It's not just for the workers. Desperate people commit crimes. Those crimes aren't always gunna happen to somebody else. It could be you, or your family.

Mortimer 10-28-2008 10:17 PM

OK..everyone---stop asking him questions.

Means they vote for people who like rich people a whole lot more than poor people.

GEEKER!!


Why didn't you erase that one!?

SCUDSBROTHER 10-28-2008 10:29 PM

As usual, this individual follows up my post, and probably it's not about the thread topic(minimum wage.) It's most likely a post about a member of the forum.

Mortimer 10-28-2008 10:37 PM

Mortimer 10-28-2008 10:44 PM

Oh Steve..do you think you can arrange it so SkidsMom can't even see I have posted?

I'm afraid he is whipping himself into a high state of arousal.



Oh I guess I could stop making fun him.



























No I can't.

Mortimer 10-28-2008 10:49 PM

And IF I did have a hot pus.sy...you wouldn't even get within sniffing distance.
