| #13 Please correct me iff I'm wrong, but AFAIC the US$15.00 SEIU-supported minimum wage is mainly for non-Supervisory or Non-Management Employees, wid Supervisory or Management-level Employees earning higher still than the US$15.00 scale??? * See also DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS + CYBERCAST NEWS SERVICE [CNS] > OBAMA'S "NO GROWTH, NO JOBS, NO RECOVERY" ECONOMY GIVES UP THE GHOST. To once again paraph ANDY GRFFITH's GREAT "NO TIME FOR SERGEANTS" MOVIE CLASSIC > WILY USAF GENERAL BUSH = "THATS RIDICULOUS ... ... ITS GOOD US-LED ANTI-US OWG GLOBALISM + GLOBAL FED UNION-ISM, + AS A GLOBALIST POTUS OBAMA IS DOING IT INTENTIONALLY"! The good news is that Ex-UN GenSec KOFI ANNAN says OWG Globalist Amerika should eat bugs ... * DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND > [Daily Caller] KOFI ANNAN: EAT BUGS TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING. This is good because iff my old or childhood dreams-visions about GWCC prove true, + usually does, DE SMALL/TINY BUGS NOW = DEVOL INTO BIG B-I-G OR GIANT BUGS/BUG-ZILLAS LATER. THE ABOVE IS WID SO-CALLED "MINI-ICE AGE",OR WIDOUT = NO "MINI-ICE AGE". As a general rule, "Better to Eat Them Before They Eat You". Yuuup. Works for me - where do I sign or enlist!? |

| #11 "Your staffing levels may not be decreased without prior approval from the State Dept. of Labor. Your appropriate number of employees and their rate of pay will also be determined for you by the State. If your business doesn't meet the decreed levels, or in fact, closes, you will be subject to a fine of $250,000 or 3 years imprisonment. Thank you, and remember, 'you didn't build that' " |

| #8 You're doing it wrong. You need wage AND price controls. I suggest Seattle hire some Venezuelan economists to help them sort this all out. Maybe it will finally work this time. |

| #6 Good call Mr. Fool, forgot about that one. I'm waiting for the reimposition of many tax brackets. Remember the "good" old days when inflation kept pushing the middle-class into higher and higher brackets? I do. Someone labeled it the inflation tax and pointed to all the incentives for the Fed and gov't to feed the inflation beast. |

| #5 Easy fix. Raise tuition or get the state (aka taxpayers aka suckers) to make up the difference. Ain't seen nothing yet. Wait until those union wages which are based on the minimum wage (plus so much) kick in. |

| #4 San Franciscan are finding out the same thing. One comic book store owner will have to close. His patrons all told him, "I voted for this but I didn't think it would affect you". Clueless people. |

| #3 No toilet paper and its unintended consequences? Dirty butts or raw butts from using corn cob like paper. Now there's a reason for a revolution. |
