  1. Russell, you're exposing your economic illiteracy by whining about the minimum wage. It's not MEANT to be a living wage. It's supposed to be an entry-level wage, and the idea is that you build your skill set, gain experience, and work hard, so that you no longer have to accept a minimum wage. You're all upside-down in your economic and TRUE fairness to individuals. A job flipping burgers is not a career! It's a starting point. I flipped burgers as a teenager and once or twice in my 20s, but the entire time, I was working to IMPROVE myself, so I could earn MORE. Now, after MANY years clawing my way up through my education (that I paid for) and work experience, I make out all right. When I was making minimum wage, I was still living at home, mostly, and when I did move out on my starvation wages, I had to get a roommate or multiple roommates to make rent and feed myself. But I didn't settle for that. Nor should anyone else. Anyway, you should do some economics research before trotting out your minimum wage claptrap, which only exposes your ignorance.

  2. When you raise the minimum wage, by law, all you're doing is making everything more expensive for everyone, including and especially those who work for minimum wage! You're also eliminating many jobs for teenagers, who usually aren't WORTH that much, until they learn how to work! Here's a story: Man owns a bodega. There's a homeless man he befriends, and tries to help the guy out, time to time. The homeless man volunteers to sweep the walk out front. The bodega owner, let's call him "Steve," pays him $5. Steve isn't very rich. He's just getting by. The homeless man, let's call him "Mike," is grateful, and before long, he's stocking shelves, sweeping the floors inside, etc. Steve doesn't have much to offer, but he does have a room in the back where he sets up a cot, and so Mike has a safe, warm place to sleep at night. Then, Russell Dobular happens by, and being the knight-errant justice warrior that he is, he notices downtrodden Mike and asks him what he's making, because his clothes are pretty raggedy. He's clean and his clothes are clean, but they're next to rags, so he asks what Mike is making. Mike loves Steve to death, so he tells Russell about the arrangement they have and his hopes for the future. Russell, a champion of justice, reports Steve to the Labor Relations Board, because of his PERCEPTION of the unfairness. Steve is given a choice of either paying Mike more, or being sued. Reluctantly, Steve informs Mike that he can no longer work there, and Mike is back on the street. Russell, all puffed-up with self-righteous self-importance, goes home and brags to all his friends how much he cares....

  3. You're one of very few who ever say this. Liberal means liberty, limited government, and tolerance for others. This is what left is also supposed to mean. The Founding Fathers were liberals. What the so-called "left" seeks to do is create a paternalistic/maternalistic government that solves all of our problems for us, and in return, we are expected to OBEY. In other words, the so-called socialist/Marxist "left" is just re-branded feudalism, and hence, very regressive. You might even call it "reactionary right," because when you get past the labels and the rhetoric, the so-called "progressives" are trying to drag us back to old monarchic models, and aristocratic forms. Today's bureaucrats see themselves as lords and ladies.
