THE MINIMUM WAGE

IT IS THE BOTTOM LINE COST OF PRODUCING GOODS AND SERVICES. THE MINIMUM
WAGE OR ANY WAGE IS THE COST OF LABOR. WHATEVER YOU BUY, A HAMBURGER,
 A TV, A PAIR OF SHOES, A CAR, A TOMATO, THERE IS LABOR INVOLVED.WHEN YOU GO TO THE DMV, THAT SURLY INDIVIDUAL BEHIND THE BULLETPROOF GLASS IS GETTING
PAID TO SERVICE YOU. THAT PERSONS LABOR IS FACTORED INTO THE FEES YOU PAY.
THIS IS THE WORLD OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR, SADLY OBAMA DOES'NT UNDERSTAND
THAT FACT.( HOW MANY COLLEGES DID HE ATTEND? PERHAPS HE WAS JUST PRESENT)
OBAMA THINKS THAT BY WAVING HIS HAND AND DECLARING AN INCREASE IN WAGES THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED...HIS ORDER WILL ONLY PRODUCE MORE
PROBLEMS. HIGHER WAGES MEANS SOMEBODY GONNA GET LAID OFF; AND THE REMAINING EMPLOYEES WILL HAVE TO PICK UP THE SLACK .( BUT WAIT, THEY GOT A
RAISE, SO THEY SHOULD DO MORE WORK...BUT WAIT, THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF
RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE WAS TO PAY PEOPLE MORE FOR DOING LESS, RIGHT?)
HIGHER WAGES MEANS HIGHER PRICES FOR FOOD, ENERGY, CLOTHING,
HEALTHCARE, HIGHER FEES...OBAMA SAID THAT A PERSON WORKING FULL TIME
SHOULD'NT LIVE IN POVERTY. THAT IS A WONDERFUL THROWAWAY LINE; BUT WHAT
ABOUT THE CHOICES THAT A PERSON MAKES? A PERSON SHOULD ONLY HAVE THE
KIDS THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO FEED. A PERSON SHOULD WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE
MARRIED AND EMPLOYED BEFORE HAVING CHILDREN. WHAT IF THAT PERSON
SPENDS HIS OR HER PAY ON DRUGS, ALCOHOL, CIGARETTES? MAYBE THEY'VE GOT AN
EXPENSIVE CAR OR THEY LIKE TO WEAR EXPENSIVE CLOTHES. THERE ARE SO MANY BAD CHOICES THAT PEOPLE MAKE THAT CREATE POVERTY FOR THEMSELVES....
HERE'S AN IDEA OBAMA, WOULD'NT CUTTING TAXES ALLEVIATE THE POVERTY THAT
YOU'RE SO CONCERNED ABOUT?
CAN'T ANYBODY ELSE SEE WHAT A FRAUD THIS GUY IS??????
