How much MORE do YOU make?

Christine:

What happened in 1938 is relevant to today because it served to shape the world we are in presently. Do you really think that each day has no connection to the day that preceded it?

Jesse Jackson? You are a "libertarian"? (LOL - Ha ha ha ha). I remember how he buddied up to that despot Castro. Obviously Jackson has high qualifications to lead a free people into the next millennium. Give us all a break, Christine! Cheesh! You support labor camps, leaders who hobnob with communists, think Bill Gates is a robber baron -- you sure have been brainwashed real good!

BTW, the article Zoltan posted was right on. Do you really think that a black teenager who develops a high degree of computer skills will be unable to find a job? Or how about one of my best friends? Her son worked his tail off in school and interned with a California State Supreme Court judge. Now he's an attorney with a large Los Angeles law firm. His starting salary: $75,000 a year. But it didn't happen by accident and no one handed it to him. He had to work hard for it. Do you think he cares a bit about the minimum wage? No, he doesn't.
