NEW rules

Ryan said to get the 47% jobs. He didn't mention the low minimum wage.

Won't approve a raise in the minimum wage? Pass a maximum wage and or profit law. Or tie increases in US law maker pay to increases to the minimum wage. Or BOTH!!!!

GE made billions and paid no tax while shipping jobs to China. It was in all the papers.

yes kiddies, at one time the Empire had MAXIMUM WAGE LAWS... in fact, one Mr Smith wrote a whole chapter on why we needed LIVING WAGES and not MAXIMUM Wage laws... given he is the father of Capitalism you might say he had a clue.
