Chuck,
Do you think raising the minimum wage, would raise the salary of those
already earning more than minimum wage?


My wife is in the construction business and the ONLY people who make
minimum wage are the winos who work for the rent a drunk companies.
The Mexicams who work with a shovel make $100 a day and up (in union
free Florida)

It is hard to say how much the rent a drunks make a week since they
never show up 5 days in a row. If the guy from the labor pool even
shows a glimmer of hope he will be scooped up be a contractor.

The only thing the minimum wage does is raise the bar higher across the
board......and when you have labor availible offshore for less, it creates
more of an incentive to move those jobs offshore.

Liebrals believe that a corporation\s pupose is to provide jobs......which
is false. A Corporation's purpose is to make profits for its investors.
