What is it about some who seem so intent on punishing success, and rewarding failure? Big Oil is evil because they are successful (in the past few years, anyway). Wal-Mart is evil because they are successful.

Let me ask a question--has a poor person here ever hired anyone here for a job? Could it just be that when companies are successful, they also create jobs and economic prosperity?

Anyone who believes a minimum wage job is designed to be a permanent job at a permanent fixed wage simply has a very skewed way of thinking. A minimum wage job is either an opportunity to begin a career, succeed and be promoted, or a temporary job until something better comes along. No one dreams of making a minimum wage. But some dream of managing a Wal-Mart, or owning a McDonalds, and begin their dream by accepting a minimum wage job.
