Why do cons hate people who are actually trying to work for a living?

I can almost understand their unchristian hatred of the "something for nothing" crowd. That does not explain why they hate people who actually go out and get jobs, like minimum wage workers.

    It cracks me up when you guys say "unchristian". You are aware that only 51% of the Republican Party is born again Christian right? Also I don't hate anyone. Minimum Wage workers are supposed to be teenagers working for gas money. In a good economy at least.

    LOL

    I found out today that, due to a minimum wage increase in September, the store I work at is cutting its staff down and reducing the hours of the full time employees. We only have 4 people who get full time hours as it is.

    And who, exactly, is pushing for a higher minimum wage?

    Wrong, if you want to really know how one group treats another, check out the libs in Cambridge who look down their noses at the people who fix their homes, take their trash away. The ultimate not in my backyard snobs.

    A higher minimum wage can result to the following:

    -fewer employees

    -lesser hours for current employees or removed perks like tips, free food/parking, etc.

    -increase in prices of products or services sold

    -greater purchasing power for workers with the revenue going back to businesses they patronize and products or services they avail of or purchase

    -decreased interest in college education since minimum wage jobs are paid almost the same or can be more than what jobs requiring college education pay

    In relation to the minimum wage battle, here's an interesting report: http://bitly.com/1n4lqIa.

    Why do conservatives blame liberas for the problems of the world when Liberals supported Israel and democracy far more than bush or any other Republican President.
