Because that's exactly what raising the minimum wage will do.

Its simple really. If people pay more to make things, then they will charge more for those things. Having to pay more for things raises the cost of living.

At the same time, many businesses will be put under an immediate financial strain causing them to lay off workers.


I actually support Bush's idea to raise the minimum wage as long as it is coupled with tax cuts. Hopefully the tax cuts would be enough to cover both the cost of living increases and potential job loss.

At best raising the minimum wage will maintain the status quo.

For example, if there's another explosion in Iraq that kills scores of innocent women and children that is being shown, why doesn't the newsreader ever hang his head in shame, and say, "Oh my God, why did I ever vote for that idiot, Bush? I am so sorry viewers."
Is it pride?

The puppy was healthy, wormed, vet checked, and had its shots, gave the ok for it to go to it's new home. This morning the woman who we sold it to called and said that the person she gave it to called her this morning and said that the puppy had had 10 siezures and would not eat or drink during the night. The woman didn't put the puppy in a cage and let it sleep in the bed with her all night. She wants to bring the pup back and get a new one. She didn't take it to the vet or even call the vet. She can't bring it back until tonight. I said that I would pick him up right away. I don't have the phone number to their home I only have the phone number to their freind who bought it for them. More info: I just talked to the woman who bought the pup. She said that she talked to her firends boyfreind and her boyfriend said that his she was overreacting and the pup was shaking because it was scared. He said this morning the pup ate, drank, and was running around playing.

Last night my boyfriend and I got in our first disgreement in 5 months...its kinda a long story. Awhile ago I told him I was not a big jewelry fan, I am very simple and dont wear a lot. I usually wear the same watch and necklace everyday bc that is all I have. He offered to go shopping with me and I pick something out bc he wouldnt know what to buy me. I told him I like jewelry I just dont wear it much and was nervous about him buying me anything. He got confused and mad that I had told him one thing and then something else. We sort of argued about the fact he listens so well to me then I end up changing my mind. He told me he just wanted honesty. I cried bc I am honest and he kinda shut down bc he was frustrated. We ended things fine, kissing hugging but he told me he wasnt buying my apology. I am worried he is going to break up with me bc he wont want to deal with it. Should I worry that he will walk away bc we had our first fight? It was a stupid disagreement, should I worry?

...AND also beleive that they are right no mater who tells them other wise and you can have £1,000,000. BUT, even if you do follow their word to the letter yet don't believe this person is right, you will be locked away in a cupboard for the rest of your life with nothing. Just because of a belief.

This person would be arrested and imprisoned for abuse. They would be condemned by sosiety and be a hated figure.

Yet it's ok for God to do this?

Makes no sense to me.
