    One Problem with Capitalism?

    Yes we all cannot be winners. Blonde haired blue eyed women get better tips just as most CEO's are over 6 foot tall. No stupid CPA's etc.

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    The problem is 20 something's have no bridge jobs to get out of menial kiddie jobs. That is the problem not the minimum wage rate.

    Is "Uncle Tom" a Racist Term?

    I really wish some of you traveled more and heard non American blacks speak better English than anyone in our country. I guess they are not authentic.

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    Bob my point is, even 4 decades ago minimum wage was just about half a living wage. Rev picked apples for about a buck an hour as a kid. He developed a work ethic that took him far. People in their 20's want a living wage from a menial job and will deprive children of that first job by...

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    Nice apartment back then had air conditioning, one bedroom and bath and a dishwasher no laundry. Oh yeah, it had new carpet. Good thing, I had no furniture.

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    I worked 52 hours a week and brought home 165 dollars. I drove a new car and motorcycle and had a very nice apartment on twice minimum wage and 12 hours overtime each week.

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    I clearly remember thinking back then if I could make 100 dollars a week I would be making 2.50 an hour and might be able to make it. A year or two later I found a job in a factory making 3.35 an hour and could call it gainful employment.

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    When I first started working minimum wage was 1.65 an hour and was hardly a living wage. At no time in America could you ever call minimum wage a living wage. Perhaps that is the issue, believing it ever was high enough to live on.

    One Problem with Capitalism?

    Survival of the fittest. We all can't play on big boats or fly in private jets. Thing is most young folks don't even aspire to. We all can cash in on corporate greed. Buy stocks

    Is "Uncle Tom" a Racist Term?

    My biggest issue is when someone says a person is "acting white". To believe a person should act or think a certain way because of their skin color is racist no matter who you are.

    Is "Uncle Tom" a Racist Term?

    I believe the problem is some folks think only white conservatives can be racist.

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    This is the thing, I don't care if you raise minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour it will not solve income inequality in our country. You can't have a middle class of minimum wage workers. When was minimum wage ever a living wage?

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    The middle class is doomed if we think minimum wage jobs are the answer.

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    I dunno there is an old saying, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken chit.

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    I'm thinking if we really want to help folks, this country needs jobs that pay more than minimum wage. Raising minimum wage is a bandaid not a working solution.

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    Bob, do you think making 10.10 an hour 3 years from now will actually lift anyone out of poverty?

    Is not raising minimum wage racist?

    Racism is in the news with the NBA team owner makng terrible remarks. I guess Ed thought he would jump on the band wagon and demonized the whole GOP playing the race card. I think everyone in this country hates racism not just Progressives.
