I agree. When you put a few more million in the pocket of a billionaire, he either uses it to buy a politician or he hides it in an off shore account so as not to pay his taxes. We are ruled by the elite. Why middle class citizens vote for these idiots either Democrat or Republican is a mystery to me.

Case in point Individual works for a fast food chain, Pay them more, you go buy food there Cost you more. Go to grocery store do you know why you pay high prices. Unions pushed for higher wages. I bet you cry every time you buy food. Plus less service management cuts work force. Want better wages get education get better job is as simple as that. No one is against higher wages but minimum wage was never meant to be a living wage just starting point. And you think billionaires don.t spend much money. How ignorant can you be.

So stop them from voting. What does corporate tax inversion or subsidies do. Does that increase the wealthy corporate voter base so let's stop them from voting. Why would a middle class wage earner not want to increase min wage. Look what it did under Clinton.
Why is SS, Medicare, Medicaid classified as socialism but you call corporate giveaways subsidies what the hell is the difference.

Overall our enomomy is slow. Forcing a raise at the bottom while continuing policies that slow the economy is a bad idea. So I think the point we are making is that yes of course it is good that ALL people get raises including the bottom tier. But our current administration is not helping that by forcing it with bad policies that ultimately don't support it. It is just another case of manipulating emotional sentiment of the lower tier earners in order to have their support at the polls.

Very well articulated but the GOPTP cult followers on OPP have lost site of that concept. They are very sad people that think the corporate elite will take care of them. Pretty sad bunch of people. Thanks for a great post.

Kirk, that is the truth. You think the iberals in office really want people to make more. That would kill of 90% of their voters. But you can't make some of the people on opp understand basic economy 101.

Lesser of two evils. We need a third party, that isn't all hype. Good luck finding it.

This has nothing to do with Corporate elite. If you have good education, work ethics you are in demand When you going to figure it out Personal Responsibility. Not gov. business is your business. Are you still a baby in your Mothers arms or a man to stand up and account for your self.

Yes I see us spinning around chasing our tails. Ultimately most of us want the same thing. For poeple to have opportunity to pursue their dreams and goals and to provide for their families. But the question is does our current administration and the democrat progressive movement put their agenda of more government control above the best interest and ideals of the American people by manipulating them with emotional rhedoric. It seems to be the case.

Just a quick note. President Obama has Brilliant Idea. Raise the minimum wage so all Americans can realize there Dreams. What I want to know is what good is that. There has to be jobs in-order to benefit from a higher wage. Does this make sense to you?

Yes. I would rather have the private sector pay than the government. Low wage earners receive a wide range of taxpayer funded benefits from healthcare, to housing, food stamps, etc.

Are you aware most college graduates as well as trade school graduates can not find jobs? If I have one opening in my business, I have upwards of one hundred applications. Some are college graduates and some are trade school graduates.

As long as we allow monopolies we will have no jobs and slave wages.

That has nothing to do with wages has to do with our Government chasing jobs overseas and one sided trade agreements. Very simple economics. Supply and Demand. When there is demand there are jobs when there are jobs wages go up because of demand . no rocket science to it. And if your running a business you should know this. Also the U.S. has the highest cooperate tax in the free world, and massive restrictions. Where a lot of the problem lies is the financial institutions.

It's also a start by creating more expendable income. So more money spent creates more jobs

She wolf the US has the highest corporate tax rate but corporation in the US pay less taxes than any country in the free world because of loopholes in our tax policy. The average corporate tax paid is 12% and 1out of every. 4 actually pay zero taxes. Then add in subsidies and tax inversion it's even less. So stop the BS
