I get this mad too when I had set up this highway bill that just happened to make my buddy in the Highway construction business a heap of cash, and a chunk of that was supposed to be kicked back to me in the form of a campaign contribution...

San Francisco Subway has cut the $5 footlong due to the cost of doing business
in a city with an extraordinarily high minimum wage. As the San Francisco Weekly, “Unless you like tuna -- that's the $5 footlong of the month, and that's all you can get in this city for five measly dollars.” In San Francisco, minimum wage is based on the “August-to-August change in the Consumer Price Index,” meaning that as of January 2012, it jumped to $10.24 per hour. As one worker put it, “The rent, the food – the owner says it’s everything.”

Dedicated to YOU, Brainy.
P.S. Please remember that this dark, dark red state has 1/3rd of it's population on foodstamps - of which the majority of the population on food stamps is White.

Ran into this old thread today. So great. And yet, it proves that nothing really changes even over years.

Last Friday, former Obama economic transition advisory board official and Clinton labor secretary Robert Reich dismantled the supposed Obama economic recovery as a massive boondoggle for the rich:
According to an analysis of tax returns by Emmanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty, the top 1 percent pocketed 93 percent of the gains in 2010. 37 percent of the gains went to the top one-tenth of one percent. No one below the richest 10 percent saw any gain at all.
In fact, most of the bottom 90 percent have lost ground. Their average adjusted gross income was $29,840 in 2010. That’s down $127 from 2009, and down $4,843 from 2000 (all adjusted for inflation).
In other words, the Obama “recovery” hasn’t leveled the playing field – it’s tilted it more. That makes sense, since most of Obama’s measures have been aimed not at providing jobs for working class people, but at subsidizing friends, allies, and union bosses. The rich continue to get richer – and much faster – under Obama, even as he claims the mantle of class warrior.

Meet the new boss, Brainy. He's the same as the old boss.
/Amusingly, looking back at political postings when the old boss was in the WH, certain posters had no problem with him. Oh, the power of a R or a D!
