  • @christinamickey06 I have this video saved for rememberance of this fighter for the working class. If he could only see the OWS movement. He would be proud. Perhaps he is watching.

  • Lets hope that the state of MA. returns some sanity to this seat next year by electing Professor Elizabeth Warren to the U.S. Senate. I think they will.

  • @asphyxiafeeling the Senator clearly states that this raise is merely to keep the minimum wage in step with inflation. By your logic, you'd be happy if the real wage had never gone up, which would put today's minimum wage at $3.80 an hour. Sign me up for your campaign!

  • @kriskats19 so are u saying minorities are not worth minimum wage?

  • Raising the minimum wage, while well intentioned, actually hurts poor people by pricing unskilled workers out of jobs.

    Check out Friedman's assessment of it on youtube!

  • @susankohistany So the fuck what

  • @kriskats19 Boo Hoo

  • Is that Vodka in the glass? Kicked out of Harvard twice for cheating, murder, drunk, participated in a rape with his nephew in Florida, Bid investor in Krugerrands during White rule of South Africa. World is better off now that he is dead

  • @kriskats19 Yes and being a house slave was better than not having a home and being on the run.

  • @kriskats19 Who wants to be employed and slaved for a week to week check anyway... I'd rather be homeless living in a box , and eating scraps for food

  • The minimum wage is good for those who are working at minimum wage. It is a terrible thing for the unemployed and minorities who can't get jobs.
