  • Oh come on, like it's that simple. Especially in this economy people who have college degrees can't get a good job. There are also alot of other factors to consider, so it's not good to just generalize like that. & the source ( you refer to as biased) relayed factual statistics- they didn't cook up these numbers-

    i feel sad ='(

  • you could try to grow a sense of empathy sometime fuckwit

  • I wonder how many people lost their job because of the minimum wage increase. I wonder how much of that healthcare cost is because of the stupid regulations that cost healthcare givers billions of dollars a year. All these "socially just" programs have really cruel effects on the people they intend to help.

  • Last line = Win

  • @thomwilsoz What are you some freaking conservative that hates the truth?

  • That's what a person with a collegue dregree makes in Mexico, some just the half of that, so....wondering why lots of people migrates to US? Yes, US is still much more wealthier than a lot of Countries on Earth.

  • Rachel Maddow go girl!

  • my goodness you people are so fucking ignorant it hurts my brain Rachele Maddow is the shit and you know it fucktards

  • @pholland

    Nobody said that.

  • Hey Rachael , if a grown man can't seem to make more than minimum wage....What the fuck is he doing starting a family in the first place?

  • I current make 9.50 an hr right now that would accumulate to 19,768 or so if I worked full time. I would only be able to have $5,000 more than what she just said.

  • Rachel is right. The best way out of this is to raise the minimum wage from $7 per hour to $700 per hour. Then we'd all be rich.
