9.50$/hours

vs 500 for some hoe to spread her legs and receiving a nasty facial

Your free market thinking would work if we actually had a free market. It's an illusion.

You are also delusional because minimum wage IS NOT GOING AWAY. That is a FACT. Now since it is a FACT, what do you propose is the BEST way of handling it? $2 increases every 10 years? To sit around year after year and whine about how wages should stay low and pretend minimum wage won't ever go up is the hight of stupidity. And it's what causes problems.

many politicians beleive like me and think social security should be done away with. But guess what, anyone making that proposal not only won't get anywhere with that he won't get re-elected. So instead of sitting around and doing NOTHING because you can't get your way and only making the problem worse, it's better to work within the system we have to make it better.

Min wage is slated to rise over the next couple years. I think $9.50 an hour is good considering how long it's been so low. Big companies and the government want to keep people in the middle class. With all the billions that we have spent for the war, we could have just given each person in this country a million dollars and everyone would be out of the middle class and the economy would be where it should.

Thats smart bro. Make lots of money and buy stuff cheap. Your a retard if you want to make high wages but spend it all on locally made goods that cost exponentially more. :2 cents:

Canadian dollar is at par with the US

Doesn't matter what minimal wage you discuss, it's still fucked up against Swedish standards.

Stupid bitch.

Companies would fire employees left and right if that happened.

:warning

Everyone says the same shit about minimum wage and small business and even big business. Price increases, layoffs, all the same bullshit. We see it all of the time in California. Though every time it has happened none of it happened with most companies with the exception being a very few on the brink already small companies.

Large companies like Coco Cola, Pepsi, McDonalds, Walmart and so forth did not fire anyone, did not raise prices, and actually kept prices the same or lowered them and kept on hiring people instead of firing people.

Then on the flip side companies such as In and Out burger, Starbucks and the like already pay well more than minimum wage plus benefits. Places like In and Out burger also have prices that are at least competitive if not cheaper than those of McDonalds with higher quality foods and more labor involved.

At same thanks to loopholes many companies, typically farms and the like are able to give a per item pay instead of an hourly wage. Be it per bushel picked, or per pound gathered. This is one way we insure that those tasty hamburgers everyone is concerned about will not jump from the .99 menu to the 4.00 menu as it is purely cause and effect. Starts with grain that feeds the cows who make the meat and the buns. Then the tomatoes picked to make the catchup, the onions, the cucumbers for the pickles, the mustard seed, the lettuce, the actual tomatoes, the potatoes for the fries, and so forth. Though you think those labor laws will also change when minimum wage goes up? Nope!

i get min wage and live well

2008 Minimum Wage Rate: $9.36/hour
effective January 1, 2008

Why do you have to resort to lies?

i believe min wage in London is somewhere around $16/hour

There is often a difference between lies and ignorance. Perhaps he heard something that made him think that, then that would be ignorance no?

Well, I don't think anyone is going to argue that GatorB is not ignorant, that is pretty much a given, but I feel that comment (half of wal-mart's worker are on medicaid) was a blatant lie.

I have heard odd ball stats by assorted anti walmart propagandists that site such BS. I check up on it myself, yet I am still very anti walmart myself.

I will admit that they do offer guidance and such on how to apply for assorted Government programs. Then again so does that one odd ball fucker who is real old that squeels and tries to sell his book to people during late night tv.

Medicaid is not easy to get.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh I have no idea where they import the ghetto ass people who work at the local fast food places and even restaurants. Maybe they bus them in.

OR they would just go where they can pay somebody 9.50 a DAY.

Yes because wal-mart and McDonald's can run with ZERO employees. sorrythose place HAVE to have a certian amount fo workers and unlike a facotry they can't move to China. So tough shit. pay up or close shop. which they won't because they make insane money.

Actually I was watching a documentary on walmart that did say something along those lines.
Walmart actually has pamphlets and things that they give to their employees explaining how to get government assistance.

Maybe the correct statistic is that 50% of their employees receive government assistance. That could be medicaid, food stamps, wic, etc.

Still, that's quite a statistic considering they're the nation's largest employer.

Shit I remember my first job was 2.75/hr minimum wage. They would give you a rise every 3 to 6 months I think it was from .05 to .15 cents a hour.

:1orglaugh

needless to say I've only had 3 jobs that I wasn't my own employer.

That's no problem....They'll just hire Pedro the wetback
