I have to admit, that this Sen. Isakson seems to have a point. The
unemployment rate (UR) in Europe is much more than 6%, and their
minimum wage is higher, although I'm not sure where it stands.

Their unemployment compensation is probably greater than our minimum
wage and their health care is free. I am unsure as to why anyone would
call that a "failed economy". It is the result of a true representative
democracy in which the Greater Good is served.



Here is my question: In your opinion, do you think that raising the
minimum wage would be a benefit/burden to the US economy and US
well-being?


Increasing the minimum wage is a GOOD thing for all Americans other
than the rich.



Agreed. And per capita debt is lower in European countries, Canada, and Australia. I wonder which Americans will be paying that debt off? I bet it won't be those who got rich from running the debt up, will it?

Don't fret and worry your fat heads over complicated debates on the minimum wage and national health insurance. Just listen to Rush Limbaugh he'll tell his ditto heads what to think. After that, further lobotomize yourselves by watching football, baseball, American Idol, and Survivor.

GO BACK TO BED AMERICA. YOUR GOVERNMENT IS IN CONTROL.
