Are you questioning the validity of the article?
Of course he is.
It doesn't spew the same tired lies those that don't give a shit about the average rank and file employee like to quote all the time
Are you questioning the validity of the article?
why is it the right wants businesses to fail that treat employees decently?
why do they spew hate on anyone with money that wants the people paid a living wage?
no, they are not you fucktard. The real TEA party folks are about the FREE MARKET setting wages, DUH!!!!!
And it's not....the INDIVIDUAL determined a good course of action. READ THE DAMNED ARTICLE CAREFULLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY, will ya please?
How's that -30 hour work week caused by the unaffordable healthcare act working out.
It really wouldn't be an issue if the dems and reps would stop making the cost of living, and doing business keep going up.
But that's what they do.
Who is rooting for companies to fail? To me a company can pay its employees what it wants. Saying that is different than saying I believe the federal government should force a certain pay amount (minimum) on every employee.
I'm still trying to figure out what it has to do with the Tea Party......did they claim that Trader Joe was not paying a "living wage" somewhere ? That seems to be
what Clarabell is accussing them of ......
obviously, this has nothing to do with the Tea Party.
....what do they pay anyway ?

Other than it's economic consequences (good and bad) sure there is nothing wrong with it.
Another pile of horseshit.
The TEA Party is ABSOLUTELY against the minimum wage:
GOP-Tea Party Senate candidate, Ms. Jamie Radtke, whining against the government setting a minimum wage to remind anybody who needs reminding that the Tea Party is not a grassroots party or movement for ordinary working people, but reflects the opinions and policies of people like the Koch Brothers whom dropped a ton of dough to start and finance the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party is for corporations.
Its policies are anti-worker. Remember the Tea Party's support for the union busting Governor of Wisconsin?
There is no good argument that one can make against the minimum wage. People who rail against minimum wage laws want only one thing, cheap labor. All wages are based on the minimum wage, which serves as a wage floor. Lower the minimum wage, or get rid of the minimum wage, and all wages will fall.

Oh my God, it's that asshole who's stuck in some "Father Knows Best" fantasy from the 1950's! Clarabell? Jeezus gramps, get with the times.
FYI: The Tea Party dupes, like the Libertarian lunkheads and the neocons, all spout off some version of reaganomics...a "free market" utopia where ownership/inheritance and investor class rules and workmanship is left to their mercy.
In your fucked up world, Walmart is the model AND is to be defended it's "right" to treat it's workers as it sees fit.....so long as you ignore the FACT as to the piss poor pay and work rules it uses to make obscene profits for it's owners. And NO ONE claimed that Trader Joe's was paying an unfair wage at one time per se.....READ THE DAMNED ARTICLE, YOU TWIT!

And because of their CHOICE, the MARKET has rewarded them. Holy fuck, who would have predicted that?
This is why I call POS like STY "willfully ignorant", because if you and I can easily access this information, why can't he? Why is he and his like minded compadres so quick to blather on about how wrong I am and NOT be aware of FACTS that contradict their mantras?
Let me see, I base this on what's happened at the company I work for, information from other company's I do business with, TV, radio, etc.And you've based this statement of yours on what? Some BS spewed out by the Koch Brothers or Roger Ailes' media? Read the article and do your own homework, you willfully ignorant neocon/teabagger parrot!
As opposed to the sheer convoluted "free market" BS that libertarian's spew? Give me a fucking break, will ya please?
Okay, for all you Libertarians, new conservatives, Tea Party folk and general right wingers.....here's what the article is pointing to:
Walmart salaries:

Trader Joe salaries:

I wouldn't expect someone who grew up on the tax $ of hard working Americans to understand.
Free market is America baby.
Government controled market is marxism.

If people want jobs that pay more than min wage, they should go get such a job. The only problem is that people like you vote to run good jobs out of here, and make good jobs less likely to find.
So the only real problem is,,,,,,, people like you.
Yes,,,,,,,, "You", and like minded people like you are the problem.
