I read the whole thing, though. Good stuff.

Or a bunch of bullshit, depending on your point of view.

When stumped for rebuttal, call bullshit. An age-old classic.

I don't have the time or the want to write a several paragraph rebuttal. I called bullshit because, while well written, I disagree with pretty much everything he said. Its impossible to express an opinion thats not extreme left on this board without escaping insult. The scarey thing is I am not even a conservative or republican. I voted for Obama, and several other dems. But jacking the minimum wage up has negative effects (as well as positive) on the very people who depend on minimum wage jobs. The key is proper balance. The free market system, while not perfect, is one the top reasons why the U.S. has been such a successful country. Again, this is my opinion and you won't be able to change it - so I wouldn't spend any time trying.
