"yay i make more money! Damn milk costs 8 bucks a gallon now!" plus... 9 bucks an hour means more taxes will come out of your check... pushing you into a higher income bracket than you are now... its a way to fuck you while you cheer it on Last Edited by Dr. Acula on 02/13/2013 04:48 PM _______________________ |

If Obama was serious about creating jobs he would've lowered the minimum wage to something like $3/hour. At that rate I'd hire more people but at $9 I have to cut some. Not to worry, a $20 software package will fill the void in no time. |

In the end, you will still suffer. They just might fire people, in order keep a few people at the nine bucks an hour. It will only raise unemployment. So do ya wanna be without a j.o.b. ?! People do not understand a business needs money to make money. Otherwise there is no business, no growth, and no jobs. If our country was in better financial situation, I might think differently. If we stopped sending millions of dollars to other countries in aide and food, like pakistan, israel, north korea and so on..... Maybe we would have enough to take care of our own. His priorities are screwed up. We are going to see obama get more daring this next four years. Because he doesnt have to worry about being re-elected. |

Sorry but these minimum wage jobs are for people just starting out or people who are too dumb to realize they need to do something about there life. Why should a business owner have to pay someone with no skills a higher wage to do a job that is not meant for someone with the ability to make something better of themselves. How did that person earn it? |
