people who want the minimum wage to increase to $11. So frustrating and unbelievable that the rethug asshats are even against that. And I'm talking to the people getting paid a lot of money to voice this opinion. They don't care who agrees with them. Who agrees with this? Who is aware of it?

could save $100 a month, Stossel pointed out this maybe could happen if the person had two jobs. What a deal.

When someone pays you minimum wage, it's like they're saying, "We'd pay you less but it's against the law"

of the paltry $11. If you're going to thumb your nose at the teabaggers, do it right.

Why is it that most Americans would condemn slavery and yet expect their hamburger servers to work for slave wages? Just think what it takes to have a job. It entails grooming, clothing, transportation, possibly childcare.
