So your contention is now that no one can afford to live on $35-40K?

While I am critical of many policies of the Obama Administration, Michelle Obama is right that small businesses like restaurants are the bedrock of our economy.

You must have been real popular. Expecting your dates to pay their own way and then asking them about their finances.

Between the three of them we employee about 60 people plus family with decent paying jobs. No one is getting rich, but they're paying the bills and they can support their families.
Do they eat out at restaurants all the time? If not they will most likely be deemed un American by the tyrants in the white house. Better pay em better or bammer may sick the IRS on you.

That’s what we need you to do.” On Thursday at Loudon County High School in Leesburg, Va., President Obama had said that hiring new teachers will help the economy because those new teachers will go out and eat at restaurants."


Michelle Obama:


Maybe they just want us all to ride amtrack and buy those ten dollar burgers and 4 dollar cokes??
With all this tax cutting how does he propose to fund the care an maintenance of all those undocumented folks? Maybe they can get jobs at those restaurants! ya think?
