Yeah but kind of tough to say if you are a 18 years old you get less than the
40 year old beside you, when you are both doing the same work. I understand
what you mean, tho.
It's kind of funny because I recall many years ago when they started this minimum
wage thing and laughing when it increased back then....every time it would increase,
we'd always say the same thing.....'there goes the pricing on everything going up AGAIN'.
The REAL PROBLEM is our jobs are GONE! I can remember very very well because I grew
up South side of Chicago, 30 minutes from Gary, Indiana. Trains trains trains steel steel
steel and huge factories every where...and all my friends families worked for big big big
manufacturing companies. All my uncles worked in the steel mills... 'Inland Steel'.
So in that day, there wasn't a minimum wage, there was employee raises based on
hard work and talent. There were huge bonuses and huge parties especially the HUGE
Christmas parties those factories would hold for their employees and employees families.
Gone gone gone!

This is why God punish the entire world due it's unfair society. Why only a few enjoy living a good life compare the rest of the world.
There has always been an UPPER CLASS in every society, there always will be, including yours.
Illegal immigrant are by definition, criminals since by stepping over the border without permission immediately they are committing a crime.
As for global economies, the US is much more capable of standing on it's own than most of the world could without the US. Where would your precious countries be without the protection of the strongest military in the world.?
The only reason this nation has fallen into disrepair in the past eight years is because of a weak leadership.
Greed, not money is the root of all evil.
I normally don't get into political discussions. I WILL NOT GET INTO A RELIGIOUS DEBATE WITH YOU.

1) Slaves don't get paid to work so you are not working slave labor.
2) You think the world owes you a living a bigger living. Think again. If you want a higher minimum wage in the EU, that's your problem, not America's. It's your union, fight for it yourselves. Just as we have not relied on the EU to fight for what we've got.
3) A world minimum wage would only hurt the US. We already subsidize the European nations with providing most of your defenses through NATO.
Please note: your comment here really touched a raw nerve of mine.
