Um, no. Where did you get racial inequality out of anything I said?

I misread something you said. I interpreted it as you saying not having a minimum wage would allow a small group of people to drive down the wages of a larger group of people by small group selling their labor cheaper.

After re-reading the passage I see that you clearly did not say that. In that passage the small group you were referring too was the heads of corporations and such.

I am sorry for misrepresenting your position.

Here's the fascists' new heroine!

Quote:OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Cities in Oklahoma are prohibited from establishing mandatory minimum wage or vacation and sick-day requirements under a bill that has been signed into law by Gov. Mary Fallin.

Fallin signed the bill Monday that supporters say would prevent a hodgepodge of minimum wages in different parts of the state that could potentially harm the business community.

Because protecting the fucking business community is all that republicunts ever want to do. Well, what do you expect. It's fucking Oklahoma.

Then, for their next trick, the blame the poor for being poor and want to cut their food stamps.

Fuck them...and you.

I am with you. When the right or libertarians(who are nothing but republicans on steroids) start talking about hire prices and cutting jobs, that is nothing but fucking blackmail. They use this to get us to ignore the pay gap which is the real problem. The lopsided nature between the top and bottom is worst in America. It allows the top to keep slave wage workers and it does make them money. But for the middle class and working poor it simply makes things worse.

You cannot find anywhere else in westernized nations the same size gap America has.

*Insert meaningless emotional argument*

*Insert equally emotional rebuttal*

If any moron thinks the pay gap won't hurt us, I am sure Gadaffi who was a billionaire who owned stock in GE who had half of his population unemployed could tell you they did get slightly pissed.

Sounds like you are the one trying to blackmail.

Politicians have a vested interest in protecting the business community because that is where large swaths of tax revenue come.

I don't see this. Republicans want big government and constant war. Libertarians want small government and no war. There are many other differences.

Minimalist and to a lessor extant Brian37 are of the same ilk. Their tactic is demonize, demonize, demonize, anyone one or any group who thinks differently then they do. They aren't concerned much with reality or facts.

Anyone defending the Koch brothers or Walmart makes me laugh and want to puke at the same time. These fuckwads would have society believe that an unemployed former dishwasher has more money to pump into politics than a billionaire.

They may live on a planet, but certainly not this one.

Oh and for the ignorant fuckwad trying to claim the poor are blackmailing the rich because of my Gaddaffi reference. No. Doesn't wash. Billionaire Nick Hanour who is NOT Gaddaffi AGREES with me that you cant keep fucking over the middle class and working poor over wages.

BILLIONAIRE NICK HANOUR " MORE MONEY IN THE POCKETS OF WORKERS IS A WIN WIN FOR BOTH THE WORKERS AND BUSINESS".

I just watched this gun on MSNBC, GASP! A billionaire on MSNBC. Say that the reason rich people are so deluded, is because it is a EGO ISSUE, A POWER ISSUE, A STATUS ISSUE. Now that is not a poor person saying that but a BILLIONAIRE.

So basically you have a billionaire calling his own a BUNCH OF FUCKING CRYBABIES!

Hubris is what the Koch brothers and Walmart suffer from and what the oil companies suffer from.
