No one I've heard of wants a $25 minimum wage. $15 would work as long as it was gradually raised to that over 3 years or so. 15 would be kept up with inflation. Jobs would be lost but so be it. It would be less than a million. 10s of million would be lifted out of poverty. The increase in consumer spending would inevitably create jobs.A day may come when you lose your job against your will. An economic crisis that leaves you without a job for months or even longer. Wouldn't you appreciate the help? Paying taxes serves a lot of purposes. Paying taxes is part of being a citizen. You commit to the system and you get services in return.Most of the money was given to unemployed people. They spent that money on business that grew the economy. $288 billion was through tax cuts. Tax cuts aren't free you know that right?It paid for 3 million private jobs due to an increase in economic demand.

$280,000 for each job you feel was created, and you think that was a good deal? LOL!
I see, It is bad to let the people keep THEIR own money?

I'll take Harding's recovery from a depression over the 10+ years wasted under FDR or 6 years now wasted under Obama. No, I don't want your welfare, it has impoverished millions of people.
The more programs we get that you support the worse off the nation has become... Ever stepped back and asked why that might be? None of your bullshit is getting repealed, Republican only add to these welfare programs.... You're at a point now where you want min wage to be like 15-25$ an hour. Fact is it won't happen because anyone with a slight understanding of economics since the beginning of the first economic structure knows you will create a depression you will not be able to get out of near instantly.
