But you must consider this. The minimum wage as it was in the late sixties would be $8.17 today adjusted for inflation and small business was surviving.

Then the minimum wage ought to be raised to $8.17.

how has the cost of buying the basic necessities changed based on inflation?

Uh, that's what inflation is. It's an increase in cost.

Yeah, he wanted to keep small businesses from closing.

Yeah, he wanted to keep poor people from making any more money.

I don't think any politician actually wants to stop poor people from making money.

Apparently you've never heard of Newtzi "The Nazi" Gingrich, "Dirty Dick" Armey, "Phascist Phil" Gramm, "Toilet Tommy" Thompson, and George Dumbya Bush. Scuzzbags they are.

Ok, regardless of me not liking any of the mentioned politicians that I've heard of, what exactly have they done to intentionally keep poor people poor?

Remember all that Contract With America garbage?
