Help Me Out - How Will
 
Raising the minimium wage to $9.50 an hour really help this country out?

Danzig 10-28-2008 05:54 PM

it won't.
you know, unemployment made it's first leap above 6% at the same time the min wage increase went into effect.
my daughter and a co-worker were two casualties. but i'm sure the workers who kept their jobs were appreciative of getting the raise.

dalakhani 10-28-2008 06:44 PM

wages have to keep up with growth. this is a huge problem.

We are completely reactionary. We are going to try to make up for the times minimum wage should have been raised by doing it when the timing couldnt be worse.

Yes...brilliant.

From what I've read on here, I don't think many care about wages keeping up. It's pretty much a me 1st group. If they don't have to do those jobs, then they pretty much don't care about those that do. So, your argument is not gunna register, because they don't care if those people lose ground. They don't care about it. Of course, they are gunna say that it's better to have those jobs that pay less n' less real money. I think the key is to get to a more populated area. If you're in a sparsely populated area, then the availability of jobs is gunna be sporadic. Maybe we should let country folk have a lower minimum wage. They're pretty much unteachable when it comes to this issue. Part of the reason many are poor in the 1st place is they aren't good at figuring out who cares the most about helping them.

Geeker dissects in pieces parts fashion...and starts from the end.

Much like I read magazines.


It works.

i'm a me first kinda guy.

i always thought minimum wage was something society used to teach teenagers how important learning a real skill was.

Like I said, you can't understand it, because you don't respect these people. No, it's not just teenagers that have to take jobs like this. I understand the point about skills, but you have to give these people some way to keep up with expenses that keep going up. There's a balance that needs to be maintained. It's not just for the workers. Desperate people commit crimes. Those crimes aren't always gunna happen to somebody else. It could be you, or your family.

Mortimer 10-28-2008 10:17 PM

OK..everyone---stop asking him questions.

GEEKER!!


Why didn't you erase that one!?

SCUDSBROTHER 10-28-2008 10:29 PM

As usual, this individual follows up my post, and probably it's not about the thread topic(minimum wage.) It's most likely a post about a member of the forum.

Mortimer 10-28-2008 10:37 PM

Mortimer 10-28-2008 10:44 PM

Oh Steve..do you think you can arrange it so SkidsMom can't even see I have posted?

I'm afraid he is whipping himself into a high state of arousal.



Oh I guess I could stop making fun him.



























No I can't.

Mortimer 10-28-2008 10:49 PM

And IF I did have a hot pus.sy...you wouldn't even get within sniffing distance.




:mad:

Mortimer 10-28-2008 11:00 PM

Someone take over my SM flogging ,please.

that's why assistance should be geared towards teaching people skills, furthering their education by sending to college, or a trade school so that they can get a job that will support them. giving someone money-that's all well and good. but a year later, how are they better off? how are they more able to take care of themselves? they're not.

Let's not go to pieces over the raising of the min. wage.

This is a favorite whipping boy of many.



Leave min.wage alone and worry about the sharks who conspire to sink the entire boat ...though it's a little late now.Dannie---stick to kinky sex topics---OK?

Raising the min wage will help sustain low-income families and make America a tiny bit fairer for all...certainly won't be popular among the wealthy and the right. We can argue economic theory all day, I see this as a philosophical issue...either one believes that everyone deserves a decent life or they choose to drink the right-wing Koolade. I agree that education is vital but nothing will ever change on this planet until the "haves" understand that the "have nots" are indeed their brothers and sisters and really care about the basic constructs of fairness/brotherhood/equality...won't happen in my lifetime, perhaps in my next incarnation...or the one after that...or the next.
