America Desperate for a Minimum Wage Increase

Having the minimum wage a couple of bucks higher than when I was in college in the 90's is fucking asinine. These companies bitch about paying workers more, but then who the fuck do they think are going to buy their products? A low minimum wage IS a drag on the economy!

Its funny how most minimum wage paying jobs seem to be in bigger companies..these guys look at you as a number and arent going to lose any of their personal profits..Geez, its a small fortune for a combo meal at Wendys already.guess what, now it will be more.yet they expect folks to work 2 jobs or live on 16 grand a year.
I work for a small company that employs about 20 folks..I think the lowest wage is around 14 bucks an hour..Yes the boss bitches if the numbers go down but he cares enough to realize the profit has to be spread around for the place to survive.

The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. Sometimes when they say the world's going to end soon I wish it was true. I welcome the start of World War Three. I hope all these rich mother fucks enjoy what they have now because one day it's all gonna end. People are just going to take what they want when they get fed up with seeing the Kardashians and other rich folks living high on the hog while they're barely getting by. It's getting where I can't even watch sports on TV thinking about the millions athletes make for playing sports for a living. And the greedy bastards think they deserve every fucking penny.

As long as our currency continues to be devalued there will always be a fights like this... people's wages become worth less over time and require more money just to keep from falling further behind. The system is broken and the ultra wealthy are the only ones to benefit. The value of our accounts will continue to decay as long as we let it go on.
