I completely support this. Minimum wage SHOULD be the minimum to have everything you need to live in the US.

But ... the job creators! How will they pay for this?

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Paul Ryan looks like a douchey Zach Braff.

Wow the rumor was true.
MAKE IT RAIN WAGES OBAMA!
Youll note that Bush raised the wage by a good amount

Obama wants to raise the minimum wage. YES
Maybe but at least this gives the idea more momentum.
That was kind of fucked up. And a hint as to why the GOP struggles with women voters even with women candidates.

Biden popped a blood vessel in his eye
It's really creepy.
I like most of the ideas, but just about everything he has said involves higher spending, and zero income into the government outside of raising taxes for old rich people. Oh and we are going to bring US company production back to the US and not overseas how? Because Apple is going to make a computer out of all US parts while the vast majority of their business is still overseas. Pre-School increased level of education, colleges somehow reducing costs, health care reform, renewable energy projects, immigration education and reform. He is hitting every Utopian point. Oh and he is fixing domestic violence, and women equality wages for females, which I agree with, but again is another thing that makes running a business more expensive. Oh and minimum wage raise to 9 dollars an hour, again something that will hurt local business.
Edit: My mistake, we are going to bring companies back by subsidizing them. And we are going to rebuild communites by highering people to rebuild them, encouraging fatherhood, and target resources to public safety, education and housing.
This is all government spending.

So, Zach Braff.
Same here
I agree 100%. You shouldn't need 3 jobs just to afford a one bedroom apartment.

Instead of raising minimum wage, how about enforcing laws that make unpaid "internships" illigal.

It's blatantly obvious too. I think it's the only thing I've seen both sides clap like mad for.

so even though he said the min. wage should be raised, that doesnt mean its actually gonna happen, huh?

Common sense reform here for sure. Never understood the point of minimum wage if it wasn't tied to cost of living/poverty line. Problem is that's not gonna help convince manufacturers to come back here.
Aren't there already regulations on unpaid internship that get broken all over the place with no consequences? It is fucking ridiculous though. Kids get out of college with unprecedented amounts of debt, and they get the privilege of working for some corporation for free. Fuck them and fuck that.

Unless the executives at corporations decide they'd rather cash in on the extra money that low wage workers will have and cut or not increase their own wages.... lolololololol.

Boehner stand up you lazy fuck.
i would totally be in favor of this. The only legal unpaid internship is one that you get through a college course

I didn't think such a thing was possible but Ryan sure proved me wrong.
