>Geez. Brilliant. It isn't the nature of the employer that determines whether minimum wage is paid. It is the job that is being done. Walmart, fast food, car washes -- all have one thing in common -- they use totally UNSKILLED labor. They give people jobs who don't have skills to do something else.

The problem with the economy right now is that there are plenty of people with other skills that are doing those jobs...

>You say this because you've heard Kerry say it. But it simply isn't factual. Bush has given the working poor and middle class the only relief they've had in 20 years from the burden of a flat payroll tax that consumes them.

I saved $1000 last year. Great. Couldn't tell you what I did with it.

>I appreciate your good intention and that you are an intelligent kid. But you are so ignorant of this area, and so ready to buy into Kerry's bullcrap, that you really have no chance to be adequately informed.

I didn't know a damn thing about Kerry's policy towards the minimum wage until I checked up on it after the last debate. My feelings on minimum wage lie in real-world experience and from being an economics student.
