there should NOT be a federal minimum wage...it should be set by the states
Yeah, that plan should work out just great. Soon enough, you'll be able to find Americans who will work for $2 an hour. Then jobs will come back from India, China, etc. because it will be cheaper to have Americans do the work here for slave wages. Of course we'll soon look like a 3rd world country with shanty towns everywhere, but I suppose that's what the Republican dream really is... creating poor, uneducated masses to serve the needs of the rich, corporate elite.

Yeah, I heard about that the other day. Sure, jobs will come back to the U.S. if we continue the way we're headed, but at what cost? Do people really really want to live in a country where the majority of people live in poverty?
All that you did was to oppose my statements without acknowledging the reality. Not everyone has the same living situation,...

There are always reasons to be a victim.

Fortunately neither a college degree nor credit is needed to be successful.

Is that really 'truth'?
You sound very much like someone that is in therapy to overcome what you are accusing others of. I say this because it sounds as if you had a personal revelation and cannot stop talking about it no matter how much you are mistaken and annoying to others. Seriously, do you know how many times you have used the word "victim" in a thread that is about unbalanced taxation. Sounds like you are parroting psychobabble.

For the past decade, we have doubled down on this theory of supply-side economics with the tax cuts sponsored by President George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003, which President Obama has agreed to continue for two years.
You would think that whether this grand experiment worked would be settled after three decades. You would think the practitioners of the dismal science of economics would look at their demand curves and the data on incomes and taxes and pronounce a verdict, the way Galileo and Copernicus did when they showed that geocentrism was a fantasy because Earth revolves around the sun (known as heliocentrism). But economics is not like that. It is not like physics with its laws and arithmetic with its absolute values.
The top 300,000 Americans now enjoy almost as much income as the bottom 150 million, the data show.

Unless you admit you are willing to work for $2 an hour, your claims are just plain ridiculous.
