President Obama calls for the minimum wage to be set at $9 dollars an hour. What moron beside this president thinks you can raise a family on $9 an hour?

Did anyone read the viewpoint in the 2/25/13 Marietta Times . . . Section A - Page 6?

Munster: maybe my point is getting lost. You say $7.85 is something to be grateful for. You sound like a minimum wage person should come over to your house and kiss your ring. Dem and libs brag about raising the min wage. You think going to $9 an hour should make me c r a p my pants. Miller and Harkin, Democrats, will introduce a bill that would raise the minimum wage by 39%. The math shows that is better than your $9. per hour . $15 Would even better than Harkin's proposal. When you get in the business of setting wages you better make that level something you can live on or stay the heck out of the business of setting wages.

good morning munster. your calculation is inaccurate based on your statement.

A 39% raise in the minumum raise is better than your $7.85

You can't raise a family on $9 an hour. The president's proposal is gutless and HEARTLESS.

We must believe in Munster’s capacity to change his behavior.

Senators Miller and Harkin, Democrats, will introduce a bill that would raise the minimum wage by 39%, not the gutless increase that Obama proposed during a SOTU speech.

Well, we finally got a lefty to admit there is voter fraud. We are moving in the right direction.

And the most close minded ,stubborn , ignorant person is a rightie who just got their daily dose of Rush ! Talk about your NO -INFO voter !

Well the first person arrested for voter fraud during the election was a republican from florida !

Oneill, the more people try to have an open minded discussion with you, the more appealing that turning Republican or Tea party or Independent looks. You are impossible, close minded, and stubborn. I cant believe you were a teacher. Thank you from all of us for showing us the true meaning of the Democrat nametag.!!!

Melowese Richardson, a poll worker of Cinci Oh is being investigated for admitting that she voted 6 times for the VP and Obummer in 2012.Absentee voted for herself, 2 or 3 kids and sisters for a total of 6 votes plus she voted in person for herself.

Why didn't you just title this topic "stiffminded Insults Anyone Who Disagrees With Him and then pollutes on and on ? It would at least be "truth in advertising."

And with all the B.S. that surrounds rand and her followers like Lyin Ryan, she used S.S.I, and Ryan has benefited most of his life from Social Security Insurance. Uber acheivers are all around, some were created on the 8th day, some learn how to tie their shoes when they are 25 years old, some see the joy on a childs face when they get the answer to a math equation. And some try to force their failed political beliefs on others, and one was killed Friday morning in Taylor County WV. May you rest in peace and the lamb lay at your feet. You will be missed Mr. Brian Thomas Hopkins.

Ayn Rand`s philosophy works better under tyrannical fed plutocracy, than a small d democracy( elected representative republic), yea like Billyboy reps the masses of S.E. Ohio.

Henry Ford inflated his workers wages past their so called skill level, so he could sell cars, thats not going to happen in Ayn Rands world.

Edison had many creative minds under contract and held patent rights of such people as Nikola Tesla, we still use his inventions.

oneill: no. I am speaking from personal experience. My father moved our family to find work. Your comment about “them thar folks who live in trailers in W.Va. or S.E” is insulting and shameful. People who live like you describe should not be insulted. But I should not feel sorry for them either if that is how they choose to live. How typical lib.

"Objectivism" is a form of Social Darwinism - which has nothing to do with Darwin, but is a perversion of his alleged "survival-of-the-fittest" theories that translates as "survival-of-the-master-race" or (in more modern terms) "survival-of-rich-white-folks" ... The thesis of Social Darwinism started with Frederich Nietzsche and became very popular in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s ... THAT little "experiment" didn't work out so well for the "master race" ... Rand, a Russian refugee brought it to NY and Hollywood in the 1940s and peddled it in potboiler novels like "The Fountainhead" that mixed greed and uber-individualism with steamy hot sex! Just before her death in 1982, she appearred on the Johnny Carson Show and called then-President Reagan a "leftist phony"!
