"The current U.S. population is about 317 million. The current number of employed American workers is 144 million. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, among those paid by the hour, 1.6 million Americans earned the prevailing federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour in 2012. (The data for 2013 hasn’t been released yet.) Of these, 484,000 are aged 16 to 19. So . . . the Democrats’ big idea on income inequality is one that will increase wages for . . . 1.1 percent of the workforce." Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/...um-wage-jim-geraghty

Dems like Condie believe that government, by ukase or a wave of a magic wand, can make everything OK.  Tons of evidence and economies in tatters, globally, prove otherwise.  Fifteen dollars an hour might play in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, which are prospering from the IT sector. If the forecast new dotcombomb recession is upon us, it won't   However, minimum wages that high won't play in Bakersfield.  Similarly, high minimum wage might play in Manhattan, but not on Staten Island or most of upstate NY. 
 
If, people Wal-mart, fast food places and such are receiving some welfare benefits now, how much more will they draw when unemployed? 
 
France has a 35 hour workweek.  The idea was that businesses would hire more people to fill the gap in working hours.  The results were to the contrary. Paris and many other French cities have a number of small family owned businesses.  They computed their slow business times and simply shutdown.  Larger businesses either did the same, went out of business or relocated out of the country.  London is now the third largest French speaking city (at least the food has improved there).
 
Of course, the Dems will ignore such arguments as they are wedded to economic theory not real world results.  The Soviets, a more extreme version of the left, just kept killing and torturing to get the desired results.

Best really puts your nose out of joint! HA!

If so, then that is because her attitude is so egregiously odious!

HA! Nice try, but it's like she says, you can't stand having to take it from an "uppity" woman. Even now, with everyone kowtowing to you, it's still tough to be a Muslim in America with all these uppity women disrespecting you! HA!

You know I could fix the labor problem in a few changes in policy.  End the H1 Visa program and yes Trump is right deport all illegals.  Institute a fine big enough to be a deterrent for hiring a illegal for any job and really seek out the offenders.  Combine with a requirement to work or do community service for government assistance, then the free market will set a realistic labor wage for most of American citizens.    There will always be entry or dead end jobs in any society that will pay minimally but most wages would increase.   It is a proven fact that illegals and H1 visa holders keep wages suppressed artificially.

What "twaddle" would that be professor HRDA? What have I ever posted that wasn't backed up with links to reputable sources? Even your muslim in chief talked about the fraud and waste in the give away programs, and swore to do something about it, and he did change it, by ADDING even more gimmethats to the already bursting welfare rolls.

You could not or would not even come up with the oft-cited alleged post that you and others recently claim to contains criticism of Jane Sanders from me. That is a very recent instance of your failing to produce documentation--probably because it does not exist, because if it did, you could have speedily found it and thrown it back at me as a prime "gotcha," a tactic you have been known to relish.

 I use the "gotcha" tactic? Man are you all here? That is YOUR forte, the thing you love more than anything in the world, the thing you live for, the thing that keeps you on the edge of your seat just panting in expectation of a TYPO or misused work, so you can get your fingers flying to post an insult to the "offending" poster that made the typo. The ONLY thing is, you and jt, make more mistakes than any of us,  yet somehow the "little buddy" jt is exempt from your "keystrokes of wrath". I never posted any such claim that you posted anything about sanders wife, so more proof that you are a liar. I posted that I made the thread about sanders wife after YOU posted the thread about Mrs. Carson. I also said that it was not that long ago that you posted the thread, others should remember it, and Gifted did remember and mentioned it FIRST. You made a nasty thread about Mrs. Carson about cable and direct TV. I don't have to go looking for it, you know you did it, you know I know you did, others know you did, and it's what prompted MY thread about sanders wife. Old man, you have lost your mind!!

Good, about time you shut up, you racist, pompous, blowhard prig. You posted it, you know you posted it, people couldn't have forgotten you posted it, I posted one on sander's wife and bill clinton afterwards and I posted pics of michelle on your thread without one of her wigs and without her make-up, and mentioned the three hairs on her head, but go ahead beternnun, deny you did it. Just like the other trick you tried to pull. You are deceitful and everyone knows it.
