Would you agree to be paid the minimum wage?

cont.- BTW, I have a degree in Economics and fully understand the capitalist reasons for NOT having a minimum wage. I realize that a Living Wage is artificial and would increase unemployment by 1 or 2%. Point is still the same. We are humans and should care about our fellow man AND respect labor. Before you respond, or "thumb down" just ask yourself how you'd like to live on $7 per hour? Would YOU? Could YOU? Living Wage is the right thing to do and would be well worth the cost.

We need a "living wage" more than a "minimum wage". Anyone willing to put on their boots and head out the door every morning to a full time job should at least earn enough to pay basic rent, food and utilities. I earn triple the minimum wage and work 40+ hours a week. I live by myself in a small apartment and drive a 10 year old pickup. I'm hardly able to save a nickel a month. I see kids working a LOT harder than me for 1/3 my pay. It just isn't right...

hi

i agree with you but it is important to understand what INFLATION is. Inflation reduces the purchasing power of the currency.

search youtube for: what is inflation

also search youtube for ZEITGIEST Bank

the federal reserve caused the economic problem.

Inflation went out of control in 1969-70, during the Nixon administration. Nixon axed the NASA moon-a dn Mars manned space programmes, despite their great success, and instituted for-profit healthcare in 1970, and expanded the Vietnam war, billions dollars and millions of lives were wasted on war, instead of space exploration, and solving Earthly problems, which are still around today. What happened starting 40-years ago is that wages did not keep pace with the cost of living.

didn't you read what i said in my last comment? the earth puts out way more CO2 than humans ever will. i agree with you on limiting pollution, but man-made global warming is by far the most retarded thing people have come up with this generation. the earth goes through its own cycles, regardless of what we do. venus is far closer to the sun than the earth, and has CO2 levels far higher than the earth (95%). the earth has a CO2 level of 0.0387%, not even close to 1%.

There is only thing wrong with your statement. and that is it is not true.
We must end our ADDICTION TO PETROLEUM. The Japanes have a car that runs on WATER.

prove my statement is wrong. quit listening to politicians and open up a fucking science book. jesus christ, i just gave you the facts, but, you choose to just look the other way. i've actually made money off of oil. so why would i quit using it? i could give two shits about what the japanese are doing. move your ass to japan and go drive their water powered cars if you like them so much. fucking enviro-nazis......

I have. I have studied Global warming caused by fossi-fuel burning since 1972.
If you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. We are ADDICTED TO PETROLEUM. We need a POLLUTION REVOLUTION. No more Exxon Valdez oil spills, no more acid rain, no more soot, kids as young as 3 are showing lung-lesions in Los Angeles from SMOG. Hydrogen has over 2 and 1/2 times the power of gasoline. If you have made money off of OIL, I can understand your wanting to suppress clean-cheap energy.

some scientist show us cooling down.

The data and consensus in the scientific community is we are turning the Earth into the Planet Venus, with fossil-fuels. NATURE had sequesterd the carbon, deep in the ground. We must cut over to a HYDROGEN economy, and the Japanese and Germans, who fought us in world war 2, have cars that run on WATER, and emit drinking water as exhaust! Stop the insanity!
