[QUOTE="rod, post: 1255129, member: 5382"] Back when I was in high school minimum wage was $1.25. Gas was 35 cents a gallon at most. A NICE new car cost $2,500 to $3,500. Now Federal minimum wage is what - like $7.25 an hour. Gas is 3-4 bucks a gallon and a NICE new car will run you 25 - 30 thousand. If they raise it to 15 buck an hour the only possible outcome will be gas will be 8 -10 bucks a gallon and a NICE new car will cost 50 or 60 thousand. The "ultra-rich" crowd aren't affected as usual because they control the prices and reap the profits. I guess what I'm trying to say is its a losing battle----especially with the medium wage crowd shrinking every year. My advise---Invest in bullets. [/QUOTE]
