    I thought the teabaggers wanted to keep government out of our private lives??

    In the future people like bachmann will be seen as the last of a dying breed. Just like the racists from 60-70 years ago. There will certainly be people like Bachmann in the future, but no chance they would be electable. In fact, I'm surprised she is now. I'm ashamed we still have societies in North America that vote people like this into office.

    she, like anyone else against the minimum wage, is pro-business and anti-worker. just like the governors of wisconsin, ohio, florida, indiana, and many other states. this alone makes her unelectable.

    Did I ever say that? No, I did not. If a Republican was in the White House, it would not change the fact that the debt situation is dire. We can't keep spending like we are and not run into problems like Greece is.

    minimum wage is there to PROTECT the citizens that don't have the training or the wherewithal to get a decent paying job without getting raped by some unscrupulous employer.

    I don't get the capital letter usage, but since you did it, I'll try it too...

    I'm talking about economics 101. Every human being has a CHOICE to work. The minimum wage HARMS the people it claims to protect. The minimum wage causes unemployment in the group it claims to assist... the poor.

    Look up the term price floor.

    I think people should work, but not everyone does. Look at people on welfare as one example. But, yes, people need money to survive, you're right. They can get it in varied ways.

    I'm going to change a word in your quote: Allowing the government to treat people like slaves by paying them to do nothing, then taking it away once the government goes broke causes resentment, destitution, and ultimately, crime.

    Abolishing the minimum wage would only affect people who get paid around the minimum wage, and it would CREATE jobs for those people.... who are poor. Jobs don't create resentment, destitution and crime,... instead, they create a thriving society with less resentment, destitution and crime.

    I know it's a choice.

    You could not work, and there may be bad consequences associated with that decision. But, that does not make it any less of a choice.

    And the name calling continues... congrats. Name calling, especially regarding intelligence, obviously proves you're smart.


    If she was a duck, I'd call her a duck. But she's not a duck. She is a moron. And calling her a moron is an insult to morons. I was being kind when I called her a moron.

    how does a minimum wage negatively effect those it was designed to protect?? it guarantees that they can not be paid less than that.

    It increases unemployment in that population (the people who would be willing to work for less than the minimum wage). That's how.

    Are you all ok with increasing the minimum wage to $100/hour? Why not if it doesn't cause unemployment?

    No it's not... it can be, but I can also be very anti-worker.

    Maybe the answer is that minimum wage needs to decrease just a bit??
