Minimum wage is not meant to be a living wage as a career. It is where you start when you have no skills and nothing to offer the workforce but a warm body and the ability to do the most menial tasks.

You want to talk about class warfare, talk about voter ID laws, talk about wage labor, talk about lobbying, talk about cuts to welfare, talk about subsidies and bailouts, talk about Wall Street, talk about deregulation, talk about governments shutting down strikes and evicting protesters, talk about multinationals, talk about the price of higher education, talk about a media owned by the rich, talk about tax increases for the working class and cuts for the rich, talk about imperialism... talk about the war being fought against the workers.

Then you must support free job training and higher education. Because wage should be determined by skills alone, not their financial prerequisites. :palm:

Oh? Well, the economy's been very good to me. But this is because of the conditions of my birth. Sure, I'm smart, but were things different at my birth, my life would be going in a much different direction.

How do you think the economy is used against me?

Conditions of birth? You were born with superior genes than those in DC?

I do support free education and financial aid for education after high school. I also support including financial aid for education in a trade in addition to traditional college education.

But that does not change what I said.

those in power, those with money, those who run the big business. they all are in collusion to keep wealth just out of your reach while making you believe that they can offer it to you.

you want to raise the minimum wage, but what kind of jobs do those people do?
 
I say they get what they deserve......if they are stupid enough to live in a place run by Democrats they OUGHT to be homeless......
 
Limit the federal government to its Constitutional mandate and the price of real estate in DC will be lower than Detroit.

So you recognize the threat posed by our ruling class. Interesting. What policies do you propose to address it?
