If the minimum wage were a genuine solution, why not make it $100.00/hour
and then everyone would be rich!!

BAH, HUMBUG! The minimum wage is yet another in a long series of Democrat
sponsored welfare packages (endorsed by unions) that fall on their face
in the light of reality. Not only is welfare a disencentive to work, but
it lowers the quality of life to those who accept it. At least people who
survived and were poor one hundered years ago had a feeling of self-worth;
they were survivors. What do the poor have today but an intimate knowledge
of the correct government agency to apply for money to?
