What's so insane about raising the minimum wage to catch up with inflation? Don't act like it's going to destroy small business. How many small businesses actually pay their employees minimum wage...

What company would knowingly participate in their own destruction? The usps needs to go away. I get all my bills electronically and use FedEx for packages. This would destroy any use they had left...

The point is I'm not making the decision to go to McDonald's under duress. IF I have money I can get a burger from anywhere. While I might not be under physical duress when choosing to accept a job...

The problem is that end prices haven't dropped due to the increase in supply of labor. Either prices need to drop in order to incorporate lower wages or wages need to increase to stimulate demand. ...

Because I'm not making the decision to go to McDonald's with thought of: can I afford to pay for my mortgage/clothes for my kids/bills, but if I'm deciding to take this sh.itty offer I am.

Because that would mean the rich couldn't overly complicate the tax code to benefit themselves and the poor would have to actually pay a bit.

Fk I hate how we sensationalize everything in this country. If a PRIVATE business doesn't want to serve gays or republicans or w/e let it do whatever it wants. I'll be the first to move right next...

op do you honestly believe that giving those who have brought the country to where we are currently need more money and power? Can we band together and solve our own problems and not expect some...

.All they really have in common is that they're both idealistic at heart and fail to take into account how truly malevolent humans can be. If in the real world those who make stupid decisions or...
