You do understand that minimum wage is essentially slavery with a low wage.
um... what? 
It neither increases productivity or stimulates the economy.
never said it does. So essentially you move backwards. The only people that don't, are the ones that get richer on free labor. I didn't skip SH*T. I'm just not sheeple.

its not sheeple.. its basic economics. you can't raise wages when you don't have a stable economy. i honestly don't understand what the rest of the stuff you're saying has to do with my response.

yes, they can. sf minimum wage has gone up three times in a handful of yrs, peaking at 10.55 and it's been a positive for the economy there. a minimum wage indexed to inflation has shown not produced job loss.

I trust nothing out of Cali. It's not a good rep for the rest of the US. I need to look more into this to form an educative opinion as far as min wage goes.

he is throwing a lot out there, but sometimes you need to cast the wide net. because he is trying to show that there are many things to do and that both sides need to come together to attack some of these issues.
so why not have them listen to it all. then he will have to go back in, prioritize and see what can actually get done. at the end of the day, he is speaking their language....politics.

Companies have more than enough. They just have to be willing to give up
one of their Leer Jets and empty one of their foreign accounts.

Companies make record profits every year and can pay higher ups bonuses but they can't pay the folks who actually doing all the work a little bit more?
