Upping the min. wage isn't necessarily a bad idea as long as it is done LOCALLY

We should also cap corporate profits. No reason companies need to make as much

RalphWiggam

Exactly. Give it to the govt because they know what is best for everyone!

bald man

9/4/15 9:34am

But we could make exceptions for things like green companies! Fantastic!

Spine
