Walmart says it will kill plans to build 3 new stores if DC wage bill passes

No it isn't. They're already paying well above minimum wage. Try your hyperbole elsewhere.

Oh come on now, be honest! You Conservatives love those low wages! Slavery would be even better, but that's probably out - at least for now.

Ooops, I forgot! You're a 'moderate'!:lamo

I do love those wages...it gives unskilled and young workers a way to cut their teeth and learn how to work. If that's a life wage....you get what your worth.

It is almost impossible to believe that any black man would willingly accept discrimination. It's sad when you think of the number of black people who were beaten, fire-hosed, and in some cases lynched to achieve an end to this sort of crap. Clearly you wouldn't have been one of them.

I'll accept discrimination long before I'll accept government thought police.

That's actually pretty high. Did you think I said higher than some other group?

No. I just challenged your false assumption that votes among poor were high in 2008. Note that they were lower the lower you go in income, making the poor the lowest among voter turnout.

And since Republicans are Satan's Spawn, doing everything they can to reduce voter turnout, fearing of course an actual measuring of the majority want, they can of course keep people poorer to reduce voter turnout. No doubt that's why the Satan-spunk-stained blouse-wearing Republican stool samples oppose every poverty-reduction program.

I have to go now, since even typing about Republicans makes me feel filthy and I need to shower.

Comparing one to another group is not a proper measure. Comparing it to the same group in another election is. Wow, homey.

How are they trying to reduce voter turnout?

Well, I doubt your going to wash the stink of Democrat racism off you.

Do it.

Which is not the same as saying that 85-95% of the Black community supports Democrat policies. This really isn't difficult to figure out, even for you.

and who said that 85-95% of the black community supports Dem policies? please, try a little intellectual honesty for a change ... and you of all people should not be insinuating that someone is not very smart ... really ...

as I said, you're too much work ... it's like teaching an upper division course to someone who hasn't taken intro ... take intro, then we'll see about getting you into my course ... until then, go color or something -- just as long as it's not near me ..

So passing laws making discrimination illegal is now what the Far Right considers 'thought control'? Thank God your philosophy wasn't what guided the Civil Rights movement. Otherwise you'd still not be allowed to use the white folks toilet or eat in the same restaurant or stay at the same hotel. What a pathetic philosophy.

I have to admit I'm beginning to doubt you just a little bit.

Of course you do. Slavery would be even better for you, wouldn't it?

Well above minimum wage for non-skilled labor is far from slavery. Strike 2 for your hyperbole.

Ah, it's clear now. You're what...19? 20? Second to third year of college?

The so called anti-discrimination laws that exist today spit in the face of the Civil Rights Movement.

There is no Civil Rights Movement; there is only the Civil Rights Industry. "Content of your character not the color of your skin", doesn't mean **** to the Leftists.

What's that supposed to mean?
 
We're Conservatives. We oppose slavery.
