Edwards Wants to Raise the Minimum Wage to 1/47 of a Haircut - or $9.50 an Hour ....


I Gotta Say, John Edwards Does Make One Sexy Bitch..
I don't know how PhotoShop stock isn't as high as Google's.. That stuff is great! No, I found this on search. I didn't make it. See Al Gore, it's that easy to give credit to people, instead of taking it yourself.
In another move by a multi-millionaire aimed at pandering to the poor, John Edwards says raising the minimum wage to 7.25 or 40% in 24 months isn't enough. He wants to raise it to $9.50 an hour. So, any job you do - or don't do - will earn you $380 a week. The only problem is someone has to pay you that, and chances are, they will not want to pay it for the same job they paid you $206 earlier. So, you or one or more of your co-workers will get fired. Case closed. But, there is good news..........
Yes. Big Momma Gummint will surely be there to save you with Welfare, Unemployment Insurance, and other programs so you won't have to work anyway. Who wants to worry about work and paying bills anyway - all that stuff is a headache. I say Thank God for John Edwards' hair !! I say that because it obviously isn't his brain thinking up these ideas..

I try not to listen to him but I did hear him say this CNN was showing it over at the Atlanta Airport.

Perhaps economics is rocket science for a litigation remoa. At 7.25 an hour ro 9.50 an hour, how much more value does a worker impart to, let's say a Big Mac? What direction if left for one to go in recovering the fixed cost of labor? Buy equipment that further automates and elminates minimum wage personnel? Raise the cost of two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, on a sesasme seed bun? Have Golden State Foods sub the buns and meat out the China?

Who does the process really impact? How about all those aged retirees that will see their dollars, against this inflation, become worth less and worth less and worth less until they're worthless?

I heard that the Fed Chair ok'd the minimum wage increase, which I find interesting.

The inflationary effects of that fat a wage hike might be a little concerning. Then again, when I went from 3.35 to 4.35 an hour back in '91 at the School Cafeteria, the world didn't end. But hell, that was 3.35 !!

And how much has a Jack and Seven gone up?

Cut all the taxes and make it possible for us to have a one wage earner household again and you really address the inequity.
