the min. wage increase [View all]


how many mainers are aware that the avg family income is $14,000 less than a the avg. income of a mass. family or $269 a week or even closer our neighbors in new hampshire $16,000 a year or $307 a week! no wonder our economy sucks! we work to cheap! we are fed this drivel by the haves and their puppets (the cow-tows) you know we all have one in our families! think about the profit margin in certain items! think about the price increases compared to the wage increases during any republican administration! prices go wild ;wages stagnate! Reagan(bushs puppet) both bush's prices went crazy wages stalled!look at the price of healthcare! once the right got it out of the non-profit mode its costs sky rocketted!thats the secret of privatization=get it on the market and we will make billions!the 5% will the lower classes will belly up!
what could you do with $269 more a week or $307 more in your family budget? for one afford a vaction in maine!!!
