Because you realize you are capable of more than $3.00 per hour.
Since when did republicans start favoring raising wages? It used to be... the less the employees are paid, the less burden they are for the rich and the better off the economy is for their friends.

I'm afraid, I might not understand something that isn't logical. But am willing to give it a try... please proceed.

Because some people still make their own decisions and look at the candidate not the party.

While you are still in school, why don't you study a little history?

Why have the inner cities been supporting Dems for decades and still poor?

Makes one wonder who's drinking the kool-aid.

I recall reading an article or study years ago showing if you split all the money equally between every adult individual in the country, within a few years, more or less the same people that were rich beforehand would be rich again and vice versa. Does anyone remember this? I would love to reread it....probably true, although obviously hypothetical.

Not a smart thing to do.

47% of losers in America pay ZERO money into the system. This is wrong!

How about going after them as I believe every single person 18 or older who can pass a physical should be paying into the system every single week. Even if you make 7.00 phr you need to be paying YOUR FAIR SHARE.
So all that job growth during Eisenhower was just an illusion?

If you cut taxes on the rich, they will just hoard it.
If you raise taxes, they'll invest the money in their companies in order to avoid the high taxes.

Is'nt this the basis for Reaganomics or better known as "voodoo economics"?

Do you remember how that worked out?
