Can you grow up for a second and recognize that we have a major crisis on our hands?

Well, if one needed an example of what a bot sounds like, one can look at anti-Obama bots.

Would you be more motivated to spend your time and fuel to make less than $10 bucks an hour?

If you could even find a job?

1 in 4 jobs in the USA is paying 10 bucks or less per hr.

Not the fuel for a recovery.

Racism is undeniably a part of Obama hatred. But I hate to invest my time on that issue. But, why do you hate Bush being mentioned? If Obama is at fault, how is Bush innocent in where the economy is today?

Would you, if you were unemployed? Would a business want you to pay even $10?

Maybe so, but what about this event is good for our economy?

NO recovery, NO Jobs, NO Future... More pressure on the middle class...

I think there will be unrest in the major cities this summer because of the stress and lack of opportunity.


Every job lost ripples through small business. We are a 70% consumer driven economy.

Is this a part of a daily chant? Trust me, you don't need it, to make up your mind. You likely did on Nov 4, 2008.

10 bucks an hour is not a living wage. It is not worth getting out of bed, it is a pathetic representation of the failure of the US economy.

Jamie Dimon can destroy the US economy, he makes $100,000.00 a day. Not including bonus'.

I think the US greed fest is over and the working poor won't eat cake.
