Quote:The federal minimum wage in 1968 was $1.60

That's equal to $10.90 in today's buying power. Alternately $7.25 has $1.03 worth of buying power in 1968. Well under than $1.60 minimum wage at the time.


Doesn't sound like the same cost/effort/output to me.

Quit with the facts. What's wrong with being the only civilized country with no off time benefits? Working builds character, so the 60 hour work weeks many claim to work, must have these people in the highest echelon of character status. Shrinking middle class? Who cares, everyone wants to work to get to the 1% bracket.

Who cares if standards were better in the 50s and 60s when family time was important and both parents didn't have to work to make ends meet.. So yesterday and old school.

And don't forget, campaign contributions equals free speech...so the more you work, the more you can contribute and get more " free" speech.

Then finally, the more you make, the more some pay in taxes ( some ). The more we can use to rebuild the Middle East countries.

C'mon man. Be American. Buy American ( lol ) and work like an American . Hard work will make you free... Wait...I've heard that somewhere before....oh yeah...labor camp somewhere.
