Really?  a RETARD?   What are ya a third grader?  You got kooties!!!

I'm thinkin' that Ex aced that class and they are probably using him in the updated youtube clips....

They can't answer your question HH so instead they get all indignant and try to change the subject with their smart ass little comments. 

Did you by any chance catch these posts?   That second one fits them very well.   

Blah fucking blah. . . 

Both of those posts demonstrate none of you know what the hell you are talking about. Extremist, and knee-jerk reactions to that which you do not understand, nor hold any desire to understand.

Now there's a fucking surprise. . . 

That first one by RC has no small amount of irony in it as it uses those behaviors and decisions flagrantly bandied about by the so called "conservatives"  as a means intended to demoralize those taking a supposed "liberal" viewpoint. How fucking ignorant is that? You guys don't even recognize yourselves!

Ph, I know exactly what I am talking about.  Quit being all mighty.  I fully understand the ramifications of raising the min wage.  There are ramifications.  I would LOVE for ONE of you guys to be honest, and admit this POTUS has made a mistake or two.

bottom line, just as you stated earlier.  I really don't give a rats ass.  I know what I know to be facts.  I am here only for the entertainment value. There is plenty.

You seemed to have plenty of time to dig that one up...but didn't have any time to answer as to HOW, raising the min wage is going to help our economy.

hmmmm. You don't have time...

From www.economist.com:

America's minimum wage has long been low by international standards, equalling just 38% of the median wage in 2011, close to the lowest in the OECD (comment: Henry and me won't be satisfied until we're nothing more than a third world country in which everyone is poor except for a few at the top). Congress changes it only occasionally, and in the interim inflation eats away its value. The wage was last raised, to $7.25 per hour, in 2009. Since then its real value has slipped back to where it was in 1998. Twenty states now have minimum wages above the federal rate, compared to 15 in 2010, according to the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal research group.

Mr Obama's proposal would boost the nominal wage to $9 per hour by 2015, restoring it, in real terms, to its 1979 level, though relative to median wages it would still be lower than in many other rich countries. Thereafter, it would be indexed to inflation. He would also raise the minimum wage for workers who receive tips for the first time in over 20 years.

The proposal drew the predicted response: labour and liberal groups said it would reduce poverty and raise the spending power of the poorest workers, while businesses and Republicans (whose co-operation is needed if the proposal is to become law) said it would cost low-skilled workers jobs.

The economic consequences are hard to predict. Economists historically frowned on minimum wages as distortionary price fixing that reduced demand for workers affected by the wage. But that assumption has come under fire from a growing body of research. The introduction of Britain's minimum wage in 1999 had no notable impact on jobs, for example. In America, the White House approvingly cites research by Arindrajit Dube, William Lester and Michael Reich that compared counties where the minimum wage rate rose to neighbouring counties in states where it didn't and found no negative effect on employment. The theory is that higher wages reduce costly turnover, reducing the incentive to lay workers off.

Some minimum-wage proponents go even further, arguing that a higher minimum boosts jobs by shifting income towards people who consume more of what they earn. The EPI, for example, last year claimed a minimum wage of $9.80 per hour would create 100,000 jobs.

Emphasis mine.

Why not make the wage $15.00 a hour? Is  that not better?

Why don't you STFU?  That would be better.

Just trying to have a civil exchange on a ideal.  If 9.00 is good why not 15.00.

No, you aren't.  You're being an ignorant douchebag; it's all you know.

Ex seems to be a classic example of how liberals handle things in the video I posted the link to.
