The concept of asking for or demanding a raise is completely lost on right-wingers.

Hardly, that concept would be lost on liberals. Liberals aren't "asking for a raise" they're demanding that government FORCE employers to pay someone more.

"right wingers" ask for a raise and if they don't get it either find other employment that will pay more or live with it. Liberals will whine and cry about how unfair life is and demand that someone take care of them.

What are you taking about? All the right have been begging you guys to ask. You on the left want to put a gun on people's head and force them to pay you above fair market rate! Somehow that is holier!

$15 an hour in L.A. will get you a shack with no plumbing somewhere deep inside enemy territory...like Leimert Park.

That website just says what the salary is right now it has nothing to do with what it should be. So if someone can only do so much they should be punished for not being able to do more? We are talking about people here people who need money from jobs to survive.

Raising the minimum wage would not be sustainable for businesses, and Los Angeles, sadly, is going to find out the hard way. A burger flipper at McDonald's cannot command the same money as a computer tech or a doctor or a firefighter or a manager of a small business. Different jobs are on different levels and there's no getting around that concept. You can't just give people an amount they haven't earned.

So now it's a right to live where we want? Even if we can't afford it?

This puzzled me at first, until I realized you're a right-winger and Leimart Park has a prominent black population.

Then it made perfect sense.

The more your ilk complains, the better I feel about this change to the law.

Every city needs a strong working class population to thrive, not the third world extreme wealth/extreme poverty structure right-wingers are clamoring for. No thanks.

Exactly sometimes I wonder if right wingers think the US going full blown third world is a good thing? They think the less equal it is the more "liberty" there is.

What really? do California taxes take out like 50 percent of your paycheck or something?
