Why didn't that happen when we gave the rich more than half the wealth?



When corporations send wages overseas, doesn't that mean that they no longer believe in American Workers?



When are we going to stop rewarding failures of the rich?



When wages are paid to the people who are more likely to spend the money instead of hoard it, won't that improve the economy?



How can paying someone the least amount possible be an incentive to work their way up when you barely ever increase their wages?



Aren't the real "job creators" the people who spend money and circulate the dollar around, instead of the people who are given the wealth and refuse to do anything but hoard it?



Are the real "welfare queens" the corporations that pay their workers so little that they have to supplement their income with public assistance in order to survive?



How long are we going to keep Trickle Down Economics around before everyone admits that it's a failure?



How the hell can any working person justify voting for Republicans when Republicans always work against a working person's best interests?



RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE!

3. And here's something else that makes me crazy

when people say we shouldn't raise the minimum wage: it's not as though the price of a McBurger stays the same for years while minimum wage stays the same.
