I still can't see how a restaurant owner can only offer employees $2 per hour.

Maybe these owners shouldn't be in the restaurant business.

If he pays them more, you'll pay them, not him.

The rise in min wage just hit your Grand Slam.

Plus, waitstaff will undoubtedly be cut, forcing those still working to handle more tables for the same pittance. Add to that, the rising cost of food thanks tot he dems and thier moronic ethanol corn idea and you see a preveiw of a dem controlled governement.

Ethanol subsidies are a dumb idea.

The only reason it is dumb is because the ethanol should be coming from sugar cane, not corn. By using food crops, they are cutting into the food supply, and since food prices are already way too high, it is a bad idea.

Besides, there is no reason at all in this day and age for there to be any fuel burning cars. The only reason we have them is because the government can't figure out how to get the same amount of money out of your pocket without it.

Sure, Big Gov has. The Libs have been conditioning us for years on the man-made global warming hoax (which has now been changed to "climate change" since the warming trend is reversing). Big Taxes by Big Gov to fight this hoax are right down the road...

There is no reson NOT to have fuel burning cars.
This is America, at least for now, where we have the freedom of choice, and we have vast oil reserves to satisfy our demand. The only thing causing fuel problems is democrats.
