Hey??? How come my grocery bill keeps going up? Economics my freind......economics
 Quoting: GT500


Your grocery bill will increase even more. Not only will the manufacturers have to pay their people more, the distributors will, the people who make the packaging also. The guys who sweep the floors at your grocery store will get a pay increase along with the people who stock the shelves. It goes on and on...

Obama is a gimmick man. He's here to destroy the country, to grind it down to a low price so a low bidder with a lot of capital can come and take everything, including the starving slaves who will beg for a bowl of gruel. If you want to save your country, build your industry and find a method of disassembling the power structure that attempts to stop you from succeeding. Use the means most appropriate to the tax, be they bulletin boards or phonetically similar solutions.

40 x 7.50 which is the current min wage is 300 bucks a week before taxes

due to obamacare and employers using part time, most will see 30 hour weeks

30 x 9 is 270 before taxes

taxes went up too this year and will go up again very soon.
you are right op what a great fucking idea, little guy being screwed over as usual.

depends on which state you live in for current min wage, federal min wage is 7.25. some states use a higher min wage, some lower and some for some reason dont have any min wage at all

That is minimum wage. A person who knows what they are doing and has experience may get the same pay as an adult. I got adult wages at 17yr because I was doing the same work as the adults.
On the down side the cost of living in Australia is very high compared to other western nations.

I got my first job in 1988, at 14. the minimum wage was $3.35/hour.

my dad bitched about it being too high and causing inflation then.

it took me a few more years to realize he was right.

the public school brainwashing was hard to break through.

thanks dad, sorry I didn't listen then but I've learned your lessons well.

You people are crazy. Businesses make money when people spend it. People don't have money to spend at those businesses when the minimum wage is so low. I don't know how even more of the US population isn't in poverty with the wages you have there.

Raise the minimum wage to $12, and force the corporations who have been outsourcing their jobs more and more over the last decade to bring them back home, instead of cashing in on low wages in India and China. You don't wonder why corporate salaries and profits have skyrocketed while minimum wage has stayed the same?

You put all the blame on Obama, but the real blame lies with politicians long before who created insanely high corporate tax breaks, subsidies for already profitable corporations, and made it easier to send these jobs abroad so CEO's can make even more money off the backs of slave labourers.

Wake up! For people who are supposedly so concerned about Communism and Socialism taking over your country, you sure seem to be ok with doing business with the commies.

Hmm.. That is part time High school students entering the job market. Min wage was not intended for families to live off of. Unless there is no other work.

My Dad was a Journeyman wireman. He made 35.00 an hour back in late 60s early 70s. He had a stroke so I do not know from there. However , it was not uncommon for his take home pay to be 1000 or more per week.

So 16.00 ... ok.
