these people live in an alternate reality known as bullshit mountain.
it is a carefully constructed alternate reality designed to protect their fragile little egos from having to suffer the ill effects of reality.
poor little things.

I'm pretty sure that the only thing on the TV in Bullshit mountain bubble land is Fox. And Limpbaugh is the only thing allowed on the radio.
Seriously, is there anyone here whose life ambition is to work at a minimum wage job? High school kids don’t believe you could make a living off of a minimum wage job. Not even Bucky believes that. These are starter jobs --- that’s it.
If the intent is to turn minimum wage jobs into livable wages, why not jack those number up to 30 bucks/hr?
For people to pretend that they're doing something useful by minimally screwing around with the rate is nonsense.

Switzerland has no minimum wage, and 3.2% unemployment.Lets just do away with a minimum wage!
I'm sure it will work out. Just like trickle down economics works. Uh huh

and a population of ~8 million people. Cross Boarder employment is also common due to its size.

LMFAO, what the fuck does Obama have to do with any of that? Hell, they won't even let him ring the opening bell on Wall St.

Lol, the stock market is benefitting from the devaluation of your currency, you dumb fuck.
It's also near bursting point, the indicators are there.
So a year of job creation and the overall rate of unemployment is the same as it was 5 years when you exclude shitty low paying part time jobs.
America looks weaker internationally than it has at any point since Nam.
Good job Obama.
I'm sure Putin is still laughing from when Obama "warned him" all those weeks ago.
Reports say he may die from excessive laughter, so Obama may unintentionally kill Putin.
This debate is going to boil down to, who do you believe is responsible for your personal choices in life. You or somebody/something else?
Look, if individuals don’t have enough wear withal to recognize that they’re in a dead end career or a job with no opportunity to make a decent wage, raise a family and put a roof over their head; whose fault is that?
Yearly statistics for cost of housing, medical care, and raising a child, etc, are published. They have been available for decades. You wouldn’t think that anybody would even attempt to raise children on minimum wage. But that’s clearly not the case!
Now you want to jack the wages for menial workers at the expense of skilled workers? What will that accomplish? The menial worker is always going to be on the bottom of the distribution. Fiddling with the minimum wage is a feel good maneuver, a stunt, a simple attempt at influencing the weak minded for political gain.
We all know what median means, it’s the individuals choice to decide where he or she wants to be on that curve!
You can’t live on the minimum wage; improve your skill set so you can live better.
What’s you’re thought ... everybody who’s made bad choices should have somebody reward them for being stupid, at the expense of others losing an opportunity?
Come on, that’s nonsense and you know it.

so we can't raise min wage because it will hurt the more skilled workers, thus the low skill workers need to bootstrap themselves up because the high skilled workers can't bootstrap up?
makes a ton of fucking sense, moron.
low skill jobs are never gonna go away, the least we can do is give work dignity and not make full time workers stand in a welfare line to feed their kids.

And the employees of those businesses can't survive on half the cost of living...

So... we should starve the hardworking lower class, because their bosses are jerks?
The whole "then improve your skillset" argument doesn't work for those who make less than what it costs to survive. They can't afford to maintain their health well enough to both work full time and go to school full time. Min wage vs cost of living is a slow and painful death, and a life not lived. Lots of people have killed themselves over being trapped in that situation.
