it's amazing how we get 3% when they are defending low wages, but something higher when they are asking investers to keep them on the oard of directors.
too many companys are conspiring to make new jobs part time. $25,000.00 today will put you in poverty in a lot of places. it's sick when working stiffs defend low wages.
how blind are you when you support a system that forces people with " good " jobs to live with permanent credit card bebt to make ends meet????

Nope......my numbers are exact.

It's your thought process that comes up short again. Yes, some employees get food stamps......I've already said the minimum wage was not designed to raise families on or to guarantee homes, smartphones, TVs, or cars, by the way.

Lol they each multi billionaires. An they can't afford there employs not to have to rely on food stamps. Get real for once your life. Lol

A 3% ROS has nothing to do with the class warfare you are pushing. It's the result of all expenses, including taxes. Two people working and making $25,000 per year should be able to make it. Of course, it won't include full cable, a smartphone, a new PC every two years, a/c, clubbing, et.al.

Try looking at the definition of poverty in, say 1972 versus today.

Do not go on a rant thinking people shouldn't have these things, by the way...........just saying a minimum wage job was NEVER intended to pay for all of it.

How about if you get real, Red Dirt? If socialism is so nice, why don't you take the family down to, say, Venezuela?????

Another newsflash........Walmart jobs will begin to disappear (they already have started). Robotics will take away close to 90% of them before long (try and get a tour through one of their warehouses/fulfillment centers). Also, the use of "greeters" is strictly a social thing, and it is in the way out.

I fact, I now agree with you.........people shouldn't have to take such crap jobs so I encourage the march toward human replacement! Then the progressive wackyadoodles like you will finally be happy?

If you increase wages with no corresponding increase in production, you will have an increase in cost of goods sold and retail prices. If you have increased prices you have inflation and you and I paying more. That, I think, is a basis for socialism.

Your third paragraph sounds like Socialism taken to the Extremes! I have a better idea: Get the government back to a reasonable size and budget, and out of any activity that isn't allowed by the Constitution, ie. the Designated Powers, all the rest left to the states. At least the state governments are closer to the voters and have more fear of their wrath!

I'd like to add that the qualification for voting be revised back to having an education, and being able to read, write and understand English, but the liberal howling would probably crash UUH.

Ah, you describe a free market when you were young, but now you want the government to control it. That makes you an absolute hypocrite, Red Dirt. I see clearly.........progressives like yourself are ruining things with your corporation derangement syndrome!

We agree that the tide of illegal immigrants needs to be stopped, they cannot ever be allowed to vote, and their access to our social networks s/b zip.

Yes, $15.00 per hour is better. Who wouldn't want a pay raise? But sooner or later, they will all want a pay raise to $20.00+ per hour, and then the same pay as diesel mechanics, nurses, plumbers, teachers, carpenters, and computer programmers. You want more money, learn a skilled trade. I worked minimum wage part time a long time ago, during and after High School like millions did, in a fast food facility. It was not suppose to be a lifetime job for me. It's not intended to raise an entire family on.
