Lets raise min wage and force small businesses to lay off workers to stay in business.

[Confederate]

Why not make the minimum wage $40/hour?

Make it $50,000/hour and then everyone will be millionaires and billionaires.

 

[ClydeCoulter]

Are there really many people making less than $10.00/hr?

 

[llepard]

Minimum wage earners live in poverty because of inflation fuck head.

ZIRP and QE steal from wage earners. End the Fed and stop squeezing wage earners.

 

[wgadget]

Fixed that for ya.

You stop being a citizen the second some bureaucrat accuses you of being a terrorist.

We're all terrorists now.

 

[anaconda]

Minimum wage creates unemployment by forcing producers to hire less labor.

Shouldn't Obama be signing up for an ECONOMICS CLASS????

Wtf?

I hear there is a pretty good institution down by Auburn, Alabama.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Why is Boehner crying?

 

[radiofriendly]

He actually said, "The American people don't expect government to solve ALL of their problems..."

Sen Paul will be on some time after 10:30pm....

 

[Keith and stuff]

Are there really many people making less than $10.00/hr?

Yes. For example, almost every intern in DC. Of course, they don't qualify for the minimum wage so Obama's plan will hurt them because the cost of all goods and services will sky rocket while their pay will stay the same.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

Why not make the minimum wage $40/hour?

Forget minimum wage. I think it's time for a maximum wage.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

Why do you have to offer incentives to US corporations to hire American workers? Maybe because you raised the minimum wage so high they're uncompetitive?

The perpetual hysteresis loop of government hidden tax... it's called inflation.

 

[wgadget]

I hear there is a pretty good institution down by Auburn, Alabama.

I hear ya.

 

[Confederate]

SOTU Fun Fact #10: Fuck it, I'm tired of this bullshit.

 

[anaconda]

Shouldn't Obama be signing up for an ECONOMICS CLASS????

Wtf?

I was thinking the same thing. This is a very unsophisticated speech.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

I think I saw Dorner in the audience.

 

[llepard]

This is rich. Legal Framework for killing people.

 

[donnay]

 

[tangent4ronpaul]

OMG - Cousin Janet is in the audience and tearing up

The greatest threat to 'Merica? - damn egotist is referring to himself again!

If the war against Afghanistan is over will Congress undo the Authorization of Military Force?
