CEO cuts own pay, raises workers' salaries

So now you're accusing George Bush of plotting murder, the murder of his wife??? You have arrived at the low life piece of shit train station. Please get off with the others pieces of shit and try not to fall on the tracks. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

They don't have to open their own pocketbooks and donate their own money or time to helping the less fortunate.

Ever notice when libtard candidates release their tax returns how puny the charitable deductions are? Before he became VP, Joe Biden gave an average of $369 a year to charity over a decade! Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity in 2011 alone!

Yes, I said it. So the fuck what? You guys are allowed to bash on blacks and Muslims 24/7 and I'm not allowed to a bash a nasty fucking jew (who himself was an anti-semite btw) for his genocidal actions? Why do they get a free pass here? Does it have something to do with your love for your homeland of Israel?
I do what I want, when the fuck I want. I'll even say it again; "Kissinger was a nasty fucking jew and was an amalgamation of all nasty jew stereotypes; with his big fucking nose, his contempt for humanity, his disloyalty to his own creed and his love for power and money. He was a fucking war-monger and a mass murderer. Fuck him and may he burn in the lowest gulags of hell"

The people who are awarded mandatory wage increases will soon find their economic boon negated by the compensatory increase in prices. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

Minimum wage jobs should be a stepping stone, not a career. I bet nearly everyone on this board worked at such a job at one time in their working lives before moving on to bigger and better things.

yes, but here's the simple economics of it. When you raise the minimum wage, not every commodity goes up by the same amount. For example, the engineers making your car don't earn minimum wage, nor do the majority of workers making your car in the factory, therefore the prices of you car won't go up, at least by as much. That means that the people with higher minimum wage would better be able to afford the car without raising the price of the car. Raised standards of living, raised spending; helps the economy out overall. This is just an abstract example, you can apply it to most everyday items that you buy.
Secondly, think about it like this. Five workers work at a fast food restaurant making minimum wage. In about an hour, they serve 20 customers. Raising the min wage for those 5 workers will mean the rising cost is spread between the 20 customers, and so, if the prices should rise, it would be much less than the increase in costs caused by minimum wage.

As to your second point, you're right. Minimum wage jobs are usually jobs for people to gain experience and possibly go to college and earn a degree. But they can't do that when they are spending every waking minute of their lives working their ass off to support their families. They need time to maybe eat with their families, need time to attend classes, study and gain other skills that might get them OUT of earning minimum wage

A lot (and increasing number) of people work multiple jobs to support themselves on minimum wage. People who work at Mcdonalds, walmart etc, are more often than not working more than one shift. As such, the minimum wage is not raised year by year to reflect rising costs of inflation. Let's say that you live on chocolate bars costing $10, and your yearly wage is also $10. Next year, that chocolate bar will cost $11, while your wage might still be the same if you are on minimum wage. If not you, then the next person just entering the job market on minimum wage will not be able to afford the same chocolate bar that you lived on. Lower standards of living. Why is it, that someone who was making minimum wage 20 years ago has a better standard of living than someone working on minimum wage now. Doesn't seem like equal opportunity to me.

Two people on here like your ass and I'm pretty sure one of them is you under a different name. Originally Posted by WombRaider

I have nothing against jews. Kissinger is a genocidal maniac and on him the stereotype of power-hungry jew is 100% accurate. I would take a shit on his face if I had the chance to.

I'm beginning to think that Shammy might have been better off if his daddy pulled out and shot him on the floor of that Burger King bathroom, if that's the way he thinks.

And LL, you have no room to talk. You've said plenty of racist shit on here.
