This thread is about raising the unemployment rate. If you want to attack millionaires and their posting preferences please start your own thread. |

Of course not.
They can afford to hire people to post 800 posts a month for them.
We usually call them disinformation agents. |

I don't care what you want to call it. You think it's free is what is funny. Everything is free..........yippee.........the money tree provides yet again. I think democrats are right the US is infested with ignorant people. Or they have created them through their corruption in the public school system. Either way.

Raising the minimum wage doesn't increase unemployment.
It's a non-story.
The minimuim wage should have been raised all along. Congrats to the great state of Illinois for being one of the few states to do so. |

What a loser. If you cannot afford the car, then you sell it. Duh!
It ain't lke there's no mass transit in Springfield.
Typical entitlement Gen Y puke. Thinks having internet, a cell-phone, cable/satellite, and dining out are "rights."
When I was going to university, I shared an apartment with 2 others, then one other, before I had saved enough money to rent on my own.
I did not have a car, because I could not afford it, and I worked full-time or part-time (as the case might have been). I didn't have internet until 2006, because, uh, you know, I couldn't afford that, or a cell-phone.
Sobbing for the poor bastard (not)...

$8/hour is one of the highest minimum wage rates?
Fast-food workers in Cincinnati start at $8.50/hour (and the minimum wage in Ohio is $6.84 -- federal is $7.25). How sad is that?
And you haven't had one of the lowest unemployment rates in the US.
You'll have to prove your claims (says Mircea.....grinning....knowing that he cannot do it).
15 MASSACHUSETTS 6.5
Massachusetts 6.5 Jan. 1976 11.1 Oct. 2000 2.6
Still grinning...

Yep I remember working my way through school and scratching by afterwards. Ramens, frozen pizza if I had some extra dough and mac n cheese were the staples. This guy wasted four years to get a useless degree probably paid for by others and now is whining about how he can't afford anything. Well no sheet. If your 29 and making min wage your an idiot to begin with. My 15yo who's never held a job in his life will start his first in a couple weeks when school is out for the summer making more than this idiot. lol
