Ted Kennedy wants to raise minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.00. That's absurd. It will put many small businesses out of business.


If he is serious about a living wage AND eliminating poverty just raise the minimum wage to $25.00/hour. (I fear many viewers of this thread will actually see wisdom in this idea!)

So much for stopping outsourcing then! Smiley

Why don't we go back to the Gold Standard...Yet another reason why I despise FDR.

FDR ended the gold standard in 1939.
