I'm betting you don't want $15 an hour minimum wage, you want career opportunities.

Hopefully the establishment politicians won't fight Trump on reversing the policies that are destroying our economy. Who am I kidding, of course they will fight Trump every step of the way.
The establishment already ATE Trump

Well according to Obama (which most of you blindly voted for), the economy is great. So who do we believe, you or Obama?

Bingo. $15/hr minimum wage does nothing for me. Especially after busting my butt over 5 years to go from $9 to $14 lol While it wasn't much, at least I could justify that I was worth double the min wage.

I didn't vote for Obama, but I did hope that he would finally signify an end to racism. Somehow I think we ended up worse than before in that respect.

As for the economy, I look at the market and it's soaring higher than ever. It appears that the very wealthy are doing phenomenally while everyone else is having a rough time. When I go into restaurants I used to work in as a teenager, there are only full grown adults in these positions. I think the thriving market is either an illusion or a poor indicator of the economy for every day Americans.

Obama says the economy is now great (thanks to him of course). Presumably then 'jobs' are not something Hillary should have been concerned about - she would inherit a booming economy if she became president - and yet at the same time she echoed Obama about that economy during her campaign she was saying that we need more jobs because young people can't find any. I always found that amusing. I also found it interesting that her supporters could say both things at the same time too. I chose someone with a much clearer, non-conflicting, message which seems to be based more in reality.

I don't blame Obama for this. I put blame on Reagan, Clinton and Bush Jr for what is going on. Obama is also part of the problem as well.
