Minimum wage Rick FTW! We'll be able to compete with China and India on wages again. Hell, with a little bit of effort, we may actually get down to compete with Vietnam. We'll show them fcukers what really low wages are. What a grand vision for America! Perry, Perry Perry, Perry, Perry!

You'll be done loling when he takes the oath of office and you get in line to work for $5.00 an hour.

So at least if he wins the nod we know the status quo will be achieved. Business as usual.

at least in certain states minimum wage is actually livable.

Must be Texas and Mississippi seeing that these two states share the #1 spot in the ranks of states with the largest portion of workers making minimum wage. Not a number one spot I can find desirable in any way.

Of course everyone wants to earn more than the minimum, but the important point is that they're working and not on 100% welfare.

The unemployment rate in TX is 8.2%. That puts the state square in the middle of the states in the union. 25 states have an unemployment rate lower than Texas and 24 have an unemployment rate higher than Texas. The state ain't the economic miracle that some would like us to perceive it as. And Perry isn't a guy that made an economic miracle happen either - nor would he know how to do any such thing. He's Bush without brains.

We see Obama the Socialist has really shown us all how to govern. Huge record spending and Unemployment highest since the great Depression. Make even a known RINO like Perry a very attractive alternative. Sucks when the president of the United states is so inept and a proven idiotic moron that a Perry would look so good.

100% welfare? What does that mean? Does that mean you are OK with these workers still qualifying for food stamps?

Or rather, be happy that people might be given the opportunity to be no longer wholly reliant on food stamps and are given the chance to work.

Minimum wage will barely buy groceries and gas to work.
