5. How do I directly connect this to a tweet? I'm still kind of stupid on Twitter.

[Omaha Steve]

6. I don't even have tweet

Do you click tweet at the bottom like the way I "like" it on Facebook?

[Maraya1969]

9. Yea but then it takes it to this link. I guess that's OK. I was just wondering how I could link

directly to the image.

7. Then there are the ones who claim the CEO getting "only" $9,000 an hour is "commie".

8. What?

10. K&R

As the U.S. economy recovers from the worst recession since the Great Depression, the explosive growth of food stamps remains a lingering legacy. And now the program comes with an irony, as the Republicans seeking to cut it also represent vast numbers of recipients.

Among the 254 counties where food stamp recipients doubled between 2007 and 2011, Republican Mitt Romney won 213 of them in last year’s presidential election, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data compiled by Bloomberg.

Kentucky’s Owsley County, which backed Romney with 81 percent of its vote, has the largest proportion of food stamp recipients among those that he carried. link

11. No doubt about that, sadly. nt

[Enthusiast]

22. "Some aren't too bright." Yes, but. Romney loves the baby Jebus.

Obama's a Commie Muslin.

23. ''So let it be written, so let it be done.'' ~Angel Moroni {sorry, Yul)

- It is a hard decision, ain't it? But Muslins have a Jesus too, also. So many Jesus', so little time.....

[Enthusiast]

24. "Then you can make a rational choice."

[truedelphi]

36. That's a marvelous bit of insight, there. Thanks, deSwiss. n/t

12. K&R....

[geckosfeet]

13. Well - the problem I have with $10 an hour is that it is still poverty wages.

And all the state proposals I have seen floating about incrementally increase minimum wage to $10 over a period of years. It is a cruel and cynical hoax that those pulling the strings play. They say "Look, we raised the minimum wage! What a great bunch legislators are we!"

Minimum wage should be scaled to cost of living and what it takes to maintain a particular standard of living in a region. It might take some planning and effort to work out but what is the point otherwise?

[airplaneman]

16. I'm with you

I think $15 minimum starting immediately is more in line with what is reasonable.
I am from California where $10 becomes effective in 2016.

26. Warren is right--It should be over $20/hr. She says $22.

That would put full time workers at $880/week--rounding off, about $40,000/year. Not a huge annual income, but enough to meet needs for one person living a middle class life. It is about what I make per year--though I am on salary, not hourly wages. I live alone since my kids grew up. I have to budget (college towns are kinda expensive, even in the midwest), but I pay my bills, buy books to read, cover vet bills and that sort of thing.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

35. Especially since a lot of these companies are using temp agencies.

[GoneFishin]

14. Because God clearly WANTS THEM to have $10,000 per hour.

Poor people are not intended to have money otherwise they would have been born with more of it.

Just in case.

[KansDem]

31. Besides, they worked hard for it...

Didn't they? I mean, to make a lot of money you have to work hard. Right? Isn't that what we've been told?

[GoneFishin]

32. Of course they worked hard for it, why else would they get $10,000 per hour? People who don't get

$10,000 are lazy and undeserving, so good enough for them.

[truedelphi]

37. And those rich folks who didn't work hard at least were

Smart enough to hire vast armies of slaves, er, serfs, er, underlings, to do the work for them.

So anyone having the last bit of a problem with the way it worked out should hire themselves some wage slaves of their own.

[tclambert]

15. Let me splain: Rich people are cool, and poor people are icky.

Says so in the Bible. Or somewhere.

[AngryDem001]

18. But, but, but.....

"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
"

Matthew 19:24

[zeemike]

20. Yes but they killed that Jesus.

Supply side Jesus took his place and told it right...

"it is easer for a rich man to enter heaven seated comfortably on the back of a camel than for a poor man to pass through the eye of a needle"

[lovemydog]

21. 'It's easier to get a poor camel

to vote against his interests than for a rich camel to pass gas through a needle.'

[tclambert]

29. Camels? Rich people don't have no stinkin' camels. Rich people con't need no stinkin' camels . . .

They can hop in their Gulfstream G550 and travel in better-than-first class luxury. If they really have to, they can build a big frackin' needle with an eye big enough for the G550 to fly through. The St. Louis Gateway Arch comes to mind.

[jeff47]

33. The supply-siders are actually trying to claim

that "eye of the needle" refers to a narrow gate in Jerusalem instead of the sewing implement. That the saying refers to the rich folk's entourage backing up traffic at the narrow gate instead of being impossible.

That way they can claim it's hard for a rich person to get to heaven, but each rich person can be sure that they are so special that they will pull it off.

The fact that the particular gate was never referred to as "the eye of the needle" before now is conveniently ignored.

17. KICK HIGH!

[defacto7]

19. Kick

for a simple question that sums up the status of life in the US in the 21st century.

And there's a lot to not understand about the state of the minds that control 99% of Americans.

[Mondavi]

25. Minimum wage should be $20 an hour, if not $25

and America desperately needs what every other nation has: National Health Care

[FailureToCommunicate]

27. Surveys show Americans actually DON'T understand. They are WAY off when asked

how income and wealth is aportioned...

28. K & R

[fasttense]

30. A society is NOT judged on how well they kept their kings

but on how they treated the least among them.

The US today will NOT be judged well. This nation will be the goat that Jesus will separate out.

[lark]

34. The $10 hr. person couldn't pay the big bribes they need.

This is all about the congresscritters and how they can rob the taxpayers to increase their own wealth/power/future.

[hue]

38. How about $15.00/hr. ?

[myrna minx]

39. K&R n/t

[DaveJ]

40. I hope people unederstand...

Republicans are not only opposed to increasing minimum wage. The hard lines ones do not want ANY minimum wage.

I can't quite figure out how to express that in a photo other than all the quotes you see by people on wsj.co and other sites. They don't understand that in a small town, people work at the jobs that are there. People cant just shop around for jobs that pay more.

[WillyT]

41. HUGE K & R !!!
