If they want a raise they should get Obama to enforce Border control and send back all that cheap labor.

It's common sense, we take care of people falling on hard times, and thanks to 0bama we have had over four years of hard times, with no end in sight.

How did they fall on hard times ?
These are min wage workers who can't seem to do any better than min wage.
Getting fired would be falling on hard times but they are working.

I don't know where you get this drivel. Free market capitalism doesn't breed poverty.

They didn't go to school so inflation affected them more. Some people went to school and chose a bad major. Some good paying jobs got sent overseas for cheaper labor.... So we should make our labor more expensive and increase the inflation rate.

Maybe the liberals can give them some of their wages?

Huh? Getting fired means you get money in your mailbox from the government. That is the new job for many walking to their mailbox once a month.

What? Liberals only like spending other folks money on the downtrodden. Especially folks they deem as evil and rich which is everybody who isn't a liberal according to them.

The more money you make the more it was deserved and earned, and the less you make the less that it was, right?
The more value you bring to a business, the better deal you can work out for yourself.

(CEO's do not set their own deal)

I'd suggest that you get better at what you do.
