Pure Genious.......

Just heard an interview with a fellow who was obviously happy with the Federal Minimum Wage increase. I can't quote him word for word, but it went something like "Man, that might be some gas, that might be all kinds of different things! I might go to the Club twice in one week!".

Let me see.....a seventy cent increase. Let me get my calculator....

Ok, here we go. On the average 40 hour week, that's a massive pay increase of TWO DOLLARS AND EIGHTY CENTS! (before taxes) Wow!!! No wonder this guy was so excited! He'll be able to buy so much more gas, so much more food, and party till he pukes!

Why would I bet this guy voted for bho, if he voted at all?

Minimum wage has never ever increased since the begining of time! Minimum wage is $0 ie no job.

Now you know why he's making minimum wage...

Just wait until he finds out that he can no longer afford to go out to the club because they raised their prices to compensate for the rise in the minimum wage.

Whether he voted or not, it's obvious he took math and economics lessons from joe biden....

Well duhhhh......I just thought about this, and realized it would be $28 more for a 40 hour week (before taxes), not $2.80.

Oh yeah--like neither of you have put the decimal in the wrong spot before. The difference is I have no problem owning up to it when I goof, and correcting it.

Maybe I could blame it on a "figure of speech"?

Funny thing--that post was up for over ten and a half hours, but nobody corrected it. I'm sure there are excuses as to why.......
