That's interesting...I've worked a minimum wage job.  There was always money taken out of my check every week.  hmmm...I wonder when this started.  I must have been in the 7% or 40% under $16,812 that had to pay.

Ohh...Silly me...That chart only measures federal income tax.  It doesn't take into consideration state taxes, Medicare, Social Security, or SDI.  You know, the other 50% that make up the total amount of taxes paid on labor.

well, maybe the minimum wage worker could join the military so they can really get their fair share of respect and honor and worship...or
maybe Box would like to give up that vet discount to pay that fair share, you know, being American where everyone is equal regardless
of their profession/job/career choice at any given time in their life......

Maximum Wage

When workers need additional assistance from the government, that’s not welfare for the workers,
that’s welfare for the businesses that choose not to pay their employees fairly.
All the while, the CEOs of many of these companies pull in astronomical salaries.
Break those salaries down by the hour:

If these corporations won't pay their employees a living wage, maybe we should offer their
CEO's a "maximum wage"!



The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

I can't blame her.....there is zero tolerance and no one to blame because, let's face it, HR and management would have to actually
fu(king work and fire people....but no, it's a 'time out society' and 'everyone gets a fu(king trophy'.....

standards? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha......talk about them at the campfire singing cubaya and hope everyone is happy and
legislate behavior modification laws kinda like church: bullying laws; sex offender registries there are some goodies out there that the
hippies find good..after the institution they didn't want, they made something worse and more infringing than the churches of their
parents....

instead of minimum wage how about trading in hashish?

So... the "RECENT stock market collapse... is a bigger deal than
the Bush Economic Meltdown???
Or is it just a hiccup in the market

We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.   Funny how that works.
