GOP Will Never Accept Minimum Wage Increase, When They Want To Repeal It.

As long as there is one GOPPER left in power the minimum wage will never be increased. Many Americans believe we should have no minimum wage and accept the "Serengeti" economy. Either you make it or your don't. No safety nets we cannot afford and no mercy for the vulnerable. It is "survival of the fittest" that is the new GOP meme.

It must be understood that there is no longer any more debate about this issue and other economic issues. It is political war and combat now from the right. There will be NO peace and NO compromise from the neo right. The new terrain is the trench warfare of WWI.

Conservatives are all in favor of minimum wage. The minimer the better. If they could they'd repeal the 13th amendment.

No wait, they don't have to repeal anything. They just make their state a "right to work" state and make every state bid for the lowest wage and biggest tax subsidy so they don't have to pay for any operational infrastructure.

Add in a little indentured servitude to the company store (walmart) and they're good to go.

This country should never, EVER, have to define a living wage. It should be a basic given. Make those f'ers bid for our labor.

State's rights my ass.

Sorry for being a little upset. No, on second thought, I'm not.
