best news I've heard all day

[Sava]

Um. Actually you misinterpreted what someone else said, as far as I can tell.

from http://www.ips-dc.org/reports/wall_s...e_minimum_wage

The New York financial industry's bonus pool exceeded the annual earnings of the more than 1 million Americans who work full-time at the federal minimum wage.

Wall Street banks handed out $26.7 billion in bonuses to their 165,200 employees last year. That amount would be enough to more than double the pay for all 1,085,000 Americans who work full-time at the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.

Learn how to read, idiot.

Idiot. "Double the minimum wage" does not mean the same thing as "double the pay for all 1,085,000 Americans who work full-time at the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour". Learn English. Even Serb's reading comprehension is better than yours.

[Sava]

OH OKAY

DOUBLE "THE PAY" IS NOT THE SAME THING AS "THE MINIMUM WAGE"... when the pay is minimum wage

That's the wisdom you offer?

dafuq?

Dip****.

[100% Wolf]

No
I've already explained that doubling the minimum wage does not just increase the earnings of people currently working full time at minimum wage
RE-read the thread six or seven times and maybe you'll finally get it.

Yes

because doubling someone's pay doesn't mean they get twice as much money

You are criminally retarded.

[regexcellent]

Sava, you are begging the question of whether the pay will be doubled. It won't. It will be zeroed out.

Actually, that appears to be your position since you seem to think people currently earning $7.35 an hour rather than the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour wouldn't contribute to the cost of "doubling the minimum wage".

Again. I don't disagree.

Just give me some numbers...

like how many people make less than double the minimum wage

that's a start

What does "zeroed out" mean? Real income won't be affected? Are you serious?

**** you
I don't need to prove obvious facts like "the sun is bright" or "millions of Americans are earning between $7.25 and $14.50 an hour".
You live in America, right? You're not a Russian pretending to be an American, right?

[Sava]

mother **** me? no mother **** YOU

[Sava]

"millions of Americans are earning between $7.25 and $14.50 an hour".

I'm not disputing that.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY

you simpleton bastard

[Sava]

and using the "sun is bright" analogy...

me: Yes, the sun is bright. How bright? Do you have any data on scientific measurements?

you: THE SUN IS BRIGHT ITS SO OBVIOUS

[MikeH]

Why don't you just google it then Sava?

[Sava]

BECAUSE I"M LAZY AS ****
