Good for you. I bet you could win, "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader." Too bad actual 5th graders can't compete.

Walmart is having to pay 17 an hour in North Dakota. It seems a thriving economy is the best solution to low wages. Let's try that.

Funny how that works with wages and cost of living. Now that you see this are you still arguing for raising the min wage?

Why do you think/feel the effects increased wages have in one area wouldn't happen in others? If min wage went to 15 an hour by federal decree what do you think happens to those on a fixed income? Why do you hate the elderly man?

nonsense. america is just like estonia or latvia. perfectly alike, in fact.
North Dakota is in America. The same economic principles apply in Eastonia and Latvia too though. Laws of supply and demand are just as real as the laws of gravity.

and our culture is so much like estonia or latvia. what a retarded post lacking in substance whatsoever. the government sprung for the hoover dam, not privat enterprise. they created phoenix and las vegas and all the jobs that come with therefore. process your butthurt, miss kynes.
The People sprung for those, not the guberment. You can't grasp that the guberment doesn't create value, they only collect and distribute it.

it took someone "to collect and distribute it" in order for the hoover dam to be built, and the people didn't do it and private enterprise didn't do it. government did it, and they did it with the money that people voluntarily agreed to give them when they signed the W4s.

if this little bit of fail is how you plan on starting your stormfronting weekend, i look forward to what's next.

My brother made a real good point last summer that I never thought of before, I don't work at min wage, lmao $10/per hour I wouldn't grow weed if it only saved me that much, point is he is a fairly new graduate and trying to make his way into his career; I always thought that min wage was a good way to determine the strength of the economy, keep in mind that I'm from Canada and he's from the States, no offense but our economy is much better up here. He said that he hates it when he hears that the min wage just increased bc this is cutting the gap between the poor and the middle class, while the min wage keeps increasing the avg. wage for the educated stays the same, so in turn this actually has a detrimental effect on the economy bc more money ends up in the hands of the uneducated, this is similar to what caused the downfall of communism, why would you become a doctor when you can be a street sweeper and make the same wage.
