I don't have an issue raising it, just don't more than double it.

Most people make more than that anyway because of competition, Ive seen signs at Popeyes and Arby's advertising $9 starting out.

The only way to achieve equality is to have a tired system whereby we treat people differently according to their race and gender.

It's like they're separate, but also equal at the same time.


A majority of people would probably unironically agree with this without even realizing how funny it is.

This fixation on race, which is all really just an elaborate euphemism for “frick whitey,” is all we’ll get going forward.

Keep voting for Democrats, white people.

There has been some pretty compelling evidence that minimum wage laws have artificially suppressed wages. It should be $0. It's a voluntary transaction between employee and employer.

I always laugh at people that say “contact your rep!” or something similar.

In fairness, he might’ve been talking about using TNT.

Representatives also suggested expanding the state's Angel Investor Tax Credit Program to allow for qualifying investments in woman-owned, minority-owned and veteran-owned businesses — not just high-growth startup companies.

Inclusion? They won't even include North Louisiana in their economic development plans.

Just think about it folks, this is only possible because of "conservatives" that were sky screaming about David Vitter and his hookers and literally voted to put a democrat in the Governor's mansion.

They kept moaning and whining about how Vitter was going to embarrass Louisiana.

We're surrounded by idiots everywhere.

We're fine if you have ties to organized crime and swindle taxpayer's money. Just don't commit adultery

Can anyone imagine what our state would be like if we did not have NOLA tied around our neck? The NOLA delegation?

Unfortunately we're seeing the same thing on the flip side with pissed Trump voters threatening to boycott the Georgia runoffs and help democrats win the senate. LINK

Take my ball and go home disease afflicts everyone.
