The minimum wage was never meant to support a family. At the entry level raising minimum wages rewards failure to get the education that is offered to all Americans.  Minimum wage as income enhancement is just that. An enhancement.  Rather than fixing the wage why not fix the job.  Each job type  could be fixed with a wage range from entry to experienced level(s).

 

If the argument is that outsourced American jobs promote growth in third world countries can we then cut aid to these countries by the amount lost in American wages?

 

Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda.  Those folks who now condemn the current Administration need to stand in front of a mirror to face those who are also culpable for September 11^th.

 

In Seattle – Ferry riders were screaming about their “rights” when the Washington State Patrol tried to screen passengers post September 11^th.

 

Nationally – Airline passengers complain(ed) about their “rights” and inconvenience when weapons screening was established after September 11^th.

 

Airlines have known since the ‘70s that they were vulnerable to terrorist attacks.  But the dollar and passenger inconvenience were the determining factor.

 

Liberals go on ad nauseam about “profiling” and “civil rights”, pre and post September 11^th.

 

Don’t forget the politicians, at every level, expounding from both sides of their mouths simultaneously while failing to recognize that Federal Law Enforcement agencies were established to act independently, and continued to act against our own best interests even into the new terrorist environment of the last 30 plus years.

 

The truth is America had been exempt from world terrorism and never considered the horror that was coming.  We paid an awful price for our naivety and now is not the time to tear our country apart when we need to work together to prevent it from happening again.  You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. 

 

May God bless America.

 

 

 

What is the similarity between Anne Boleyn, Professor Anita Hill, Thelma and Louise and Dr. Rice?  All are/were at the no mercy of power mad European males.
