Obama’s proposed Minimum Wage

[KUchief25]

What madness are you spewing now? Who cares??? It doesn't take an education to hear the fryer beep and take the fries out. Do you see what you and your liberal lunacy will create............I think you do but don't care and will blame it on the evil rich. Unreal you folks are...........no sense of sanity or reality ever comes into play with you folks.......just pathetic.

Better qualified? You dump a french fry bucket when the beeper goes off. Not rocket science unless you liberals want to make folks go to college to do it and get in debt. Who cares you liberals have twenty or so million illegals ready to take jobs and to vote. That is all that matters to your heroes..............pull your head outta the dirt and look around.

How can anyone be "better qualified" for unskilled work ?

They might say.."Hey..he can work during school hours"
These mgrs at McD's aren't looking for executive potential here

So you choose to ignore what I am saying because you realize I am right, and instead of admitting it, you go off on a random rant...awesome.

I am not switching the subject, you are. Clearly you don't understand the point of minimum wage, you are welcome to work for whatever pay is negotiated as long as it is above a minimum, which shouldn't be too hard to do. It prevents having Americans working for the same third world rate as other poorer countries.

Who the frig are you to decide the price a person is willing to sell their own labor for? I believe our Supreme Court was talking to you when they wrote:

"The property which every man has in his own labor, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable. The patrimony of the poor man lies in the strength and dexterity of his own hands; and to hinder him from employing this strength and dexterity in what manner he thinks proper, without injury to his neighbor, is a plain violation of this most sacred property."___ Butchers’ Union Co. v. Crescent CityCo., 111 U.S. 746 (1884)

Is it because being a high school dropout didn't pay off like you thought it would?

Sorry, but I support curbing high school dropouts, not encouraging them to drop out.

Stop switching the subject and answer the question. Who are you to decide the price a person is willing to sell their own labor for?


Our courts have repeatedly held that impinging upon a fundamental right is presumptively unconstitutional. People being free to sell the property each has in their own labor for whatever price they choose is a fundamental right!

The liberty to fail or succeed at one’s own hand is a PROGRESSIVE‘S nightmare and not the American Dream

False, minimum wage has never been ruled unconstitutional. But nice try. Why do you want people to be paid below minimum wage? That is what you are advocating after all.
