#1 Personally I think boxers should only make money if they win the bout, otherwise they should get nothing.

#2 She is a cheap B-tch.... Minimum wage should be 16 BUCKS.... Shock and Awe has been the hallmark of the Big O administration..... " Spread the wealth around " nes pas ?

#3 Actually it should be much higher than 16 BUCKS....possibly as high as 31 BUCKS....owing to the need for restorative measures resulting from discriminatory retroactive impacts, etc. I recommend lump-sum retro, katch-me-up payments or free Obamamobiles.

#4 I agree Besoeker but lets pull ou all the stops - F the 40 ACRES and a mule.... you need a DOLLAR a minute, $60 an hour, $2400 a week,$108 Thousand a year, flip them burgers for a "liveable wage". ---- Spread the wealth around -- FiNger --- to the O ---- OHHHHH I missed and it ended up in the boxers ---- OHHHH --- She had her Thrill for the year...

#5 Yes, 40 acres sounds like a lot of weed eating and work. And a mule.... no air conditioning on one of them, and they don't breed well either. Take the cash and lump sum. Like winning Powerball, prolly need a 'good lawyer' [pardon the oxymaroon].

#6 Boxer pushes to make 25% more unemployed, by denying them the right to work for their productivity level.

#7 You can grow a lot of weed on 40 acres. Way more than $108,000 a year. But you'll sweat!

#8 10 plus unemployment insurance, disability insurance, employers portion of social security, etc.

More central planning. Cause the right people weren't in charge last time (never understanding, there will never be the 'right' people)

Wonder why the economy sucks and is flat, just keep lying to yourselves about the real world around you. Taking actions based upon falsehoods usually doesn't generate the intended result.

#9 $10 / Hour should be the maximum compensation for any elected official.

#10 P2K you have given me an idea. I am a story teller or try to be. Remember the Bible story of the three sons who are given money to manage. Then the results after a time. We have people in power with similar difficulties. They attack the one who has grown his money.

#11 So companies hire illegals because they don't want to pay minimum wage.
So we make the legals legal so they hvae to be paid above the table and then we raise the minimum wage to ensure that the illegal workers are still doing the work as before, cutting the newly legal folks out of their jobs. Did I get that right because it makes little sense to me.

#12 ...which means it fully qualifies as a Donk initiative. Feels good, but ultimately leave you worse off than before.

#13 It's a hard pill to swallow, but I suppose we could agree to pay Babs $10/hr for her work in the Senate. Still overpaying...
