Raise Minimum Wage Surely You Jest [View all]

Raise the minimum wage. Is this a joke? We need to get rid of the minimum wage and create a maximum wage for business owners. No worker in the country should get more that what the free market dictates. That should be the maximum wage whatever that turns out to be. Americans make too much already and need to be brought down to Chinese wages.

And why stop there. According to Mitt and the GOP labor laws are obsolete. They propose a work till you drop labor environment. Employers need a 120 hour work week. Want a lunch break. Too bad it is up to the employer. Want to rest room break punch the clock it comes off your pay.

Minimum wage of $10 and hour that is thievery and communism. No one is worth that the CEO needs a new mansion.
