Minimum wages

It's already happened in the US, failed and not going to get any better. Fast food places are replacing order takers with do it yourself key pads. It takes your order and credit card payment, eliminating a $15 an hour job. And then to make matters worse, some workers have lost government subsidies because the $15 wages put them in too high of an income bracket to qualify. What ever happen to letting market condition control these things instead of big government trying to fix it. They continue to screw it up. You want higher pay, educate and better yourself.

That is the typical attitude of the I-got-mine-and-screw-you crowd. Otherwise known as elitism.

So then you don't believe all those Wall Street financial institutions or GM and Chrysler should've been bailed out, right? Failed policies have placed higher education out of the reach of the majority of citizens, but screw those poor folks, right? Better they stay poor and stay on welfare, right? Lawmakers have enough things to do what with trying to raise money for campaigns, they shouldn't be burdened with legislating to create jobs or fix broken laws, right? You've had 8 wonderful years of a hands-off do-nothing "market forces" congress. You should be ecstatic that the USA has one of the highest child poverty rates of any so-called first world developed nation. How 'bout those "market forces"! All those parents must simply be lazy, right? Because we all know poverty is a lifestyle choice, right?
