Whatever screws over the poor the GOP is for it.

So the GOP is against raising the minimum wage. Why does that not suprise me? They are against food stamps. They are against unemployment benifits.They where against social security during the FDR days. They where against Medicare and Medicade. They are against entitlements period. The right wing hates the poor unles they are stupid rednecks or religous fanatic's rural voters who they have duped into blindly voting for them in spite of the fact voting for dem's would be in their best interest.It is a joke to think they act like they don't know why their party is falling apart nationally and can't win anything outside the freaking bible belt.Keep up the good work conservatives.Good luck ever winning the Whitehouse again.

Wow. Anything with factual documentation you'd like to discuss, or would you rather keep posting blind partisan hyperbole ?

You will find you get back in discussion what you offer.

You've offered nothing here.

I don't know how expensive it is to live in AZ but in Washington state you can't get an apartment (2 bedroom) for under 750 a month. minumum wage means you are going to be homeless if you want to eat or pay your bills. all Americans deserve a living wage. Either cut prices or raise wages. It is that simple.

I am not sure of your age group, but you sound you are of the " I am entitled" group.

It is noted you did not answer any of my questions from my post, except to say everyone is entitled to a living wage.

It is my opinion that entry level jobs were never meant nor should they be a "living wage".

So if we raise the minimum wage to a living wage, do you support getting rid of all the entitlement programs (food stamps, low income housing, etc?).

We are the richest country in the world. There is plenty of money to give away my friend like the money of those fat cats who are just sitting on it while the rest of us go under.

Fine. You pony up your check to help all those you think need help for a year. It will likely not even come close to what those 'fat cats' give up in a month.

Dollar for dollar, they pay more than you ever will.

My first queston has to be how in the hell do you side with the most anti woman people in the world conservatives? They most certinly don;'t have your best interest in mind unless you are one of those Jesus freaks or something. I think the fact the house tried to defund foodstamps and have blocked every atttemt to extend unemployment benifits speaks for itself. The right hates the poor and does not want anythig to do with helping the down and out. I don't need anything else to prove my point.

I am 54. The minimum wadge was $2.30 an hour when I first worked in a auto warehouse (Schucks Auto parts). In 1976 that was not bad pay. It kept weed in my pocket beer in my fridge.

I say take all the money out of politics. It has corrupted the system.

and what politics would that be, (federal, state, county, local, and business?

So basically, everything must be corrupt by your view.

What about internal business internal politics that influence company decisions and effects wages.

I see your listed as very liberal. So what form of govt would you support to reach your ideal of no money in politics?

Based on what? Define this "living wage" that you think all deserve to be paid. Does that mean none deserve either more or less that that "living wage"?

Maybe they believe the poor should try to better themselves and that others should't carry laziness. Not everyone who gets entitlements deserves them....

There you go again. Defending the right wing position while having the nerve to call your self a liberal. Sorry AP. I respect you but this is BS. Everybody deserves a living wage.

That is where you are wrong. 64% of people on foodstamps work so this right wing crap of calling everyone lazy does not hold water.

People who sit around doing nothing but demanding a paycheck all day don't deserve a wage at all. They are greedy, selfish people. And I am a moderate.
