So you know how President Obama called for a minimum wage of $10.10 in the State of the Union? Well, that is a great plan if you HATE THE POORS. But if you love the poor, if you have compassion in your heart and a soul full of goodness, then you know that best way to help the poor is to lower the minimum wage! Where, oh where, would such brilliant logic come from? Robert Strayton, some former executive vice president of a big ol fancy company, put forth his magnum opus in the pro-poor pages of the
It's only "Class Warfare" when not-rich folks do it. Like if you were to shame a wealthy person for his overwrought terrible Nazi analogies comparing taxation to concentration camps. THAT is class warfare and it is terrible and you should be ashamed, you brutes!

&quot;Exploitation&quot; hasn&#039;t fucking changed. It&#039;s not stylish or hip or new.

Can we call these retrograde 1%-er calls to undo everything &quot;Pitchforkian Economics?&quot;
I&#039;m actually looking into a leasing option. You know, that way I can diversify my love across multiple industrial sectors and maximize my revenue.
I&#039;m betting Jamie Dimon&#039;s $20M will trickle up far more effectively than the poors minimum wage. Let Dimon and his pals work for five bucks an hour and maybe they won&#039;t have any extra time to crash the stock markets again.

By their own reasoning, shouldn&#039;t CEO salaries be reduced?
Do rich people <i>want</i> us to hate them?
