ABOUT THE MINIMUM WAGE

SPECIAL POST

There's been a lot of talk lately about increasing the minimum wage.  I think the situation needs some realistic examination and analysis. 

Yes, the minimum wage is geared at those just getting into the work force and no, it is not intended to be a lifelong wage.  Now comes the BUT...

Up until about 2008, those working these jobs were either part-time going to school, or full time with some benefits and making more than the minimum by that time.  Then things changed.  ObamaCare came along and many of the businesses cut everyone back to part-time so they didn't have to get into more expensive benefits and/or pay fines.  At the same time, unemployment soared and a whole ton of people were happy to get those part-time jobs at minimum wage just to keep food on the table. 

Who invented ObamaCare?  While the percentage of unemployment is down, the number of people needing a job has gone up; who do you blame for that?  The answer is, if you'll take a moment to verify what I'm, saying... It's all due to Obama and the Senate Democrats.  The plain simple fact of the matter is that we need to jump-start the economy and jump-start employment, just as we need to cancel ObamaCare. 

So, how do you correct the problem?  It's too late to correct the Obama tragedy, but you can still get off your duff and go vote the Democrats out.  Target the people who are started this mess.  Do not be one of those sitting in front of the tube in December wondering why the country is upside down... DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
