Wow brah, why you so angry?
do you have anything to add to the topic at hand, which is how minimum wage gains outpace the rise of cost in consumer goods, or do you just want to fantasize about licking my ass all night?
Well, if minimum wages outpace the rise in costs of goods, what the beef?

See? Minimum wage is MORE than enough as it is, it should actually be LOWER than it is now, thanks for making me see the light.
Because of Bucky's infallible posts about how consumer goods are actually cheaper now than ever before, the minimum wage should actually be around $4.50.

that's nice, but most americans have "eggs, bread, milk, bananas and coffee" on their shopping lists, not precious metals.
you listed what you might have been paid for them, not what the end consumer pays. BLS does not list wheat, but they do list bread, and that only went up 33% while wages, well, ya know.
wages went up 41%, otherwise known as more.
Checkout time for me, it's a holiday tomorrow but I stall have to go to work.
