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... |

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. |

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. |
