[When his nephew asks why Luke does not get to wear chains] John-boy, lemme tell you something. You know, them chains ain't medals. You get 'em for making mistakes. And you make a bad enough mistake, and then you gotta deal with the Man [Gestures to Boss Godfrey]. And he is one rough old boy.

I heard the same. That black labourers would sing to take their minds off their work in the fields.

They also sang as a way to mock their slave owners and the owners wouldn't even know it. Also, they sang as a way to communicate, too.

Oh please. Maybe they sang because they are so darn musical.

And if they can do that, they can certainly pick vegetables and fruits, too.

You would love to be the overseer, wouldn't you? You would wear black jackboots and shout "Gherkin uber alles!" :roll:

I wouldn't like the idea. We wouldn't be able to live anywhere when earning 1.90 per hour.
 
Meh. We're being socially engineered to distrust and hate immigrants and are being lured into economic slavery. :roll:
 
Michelle Bachmann was a tax lawyer for the IRS and has a post-doctorate degree in Federal Tax Law. She represented the IRS in hundreds of cases against American citizens. So, I'm sure she knows a thing or two about minimum wage and taxation.

Here is what she wrote in 2009 on minimum wage.
Killing Minimum Wage Jobs (Rep. Michele Bachmann) - The Hill's Congress Blog

And tell me, which age group has the highest unemployment rate?

A quarter of teenagers were jobless in March, representing a surprising increase from February, even as the unemployment rate for the rest of the population decreased.

This figure may only get worse if budget-strapped states raise the minimum wage, and it could also be a sign of greater structural damage underlying our economy, analysts said.

The unemployment rate for 16- to 19-year olds jumped back up to 24.5 percent in March, up from 23.9 percent the prior month, according to the latest jobs data from the Labor Department.

[...]“Even when comprehending that teen employment is volatile in nature, the data that exists serves up some shock and awe,” said Brian Sozzi, a retail research analyst with Wall Street Strategies, in a note Wednesday. “If these (wage) increases do go through, the prospect for teen employment will remain grim as employers search for workers with advanced skills to fill positions.”

Twelve states, including Illinois and Pennsylvania, are considering a hike in the minimum wage. While this has been the subject of a long-running debate, many economists and analysts say raising this pay bar may cause more teen layoffs, even as it helps teens who manage to stay employed make more.

“Minimum wage increases over the past few years has definitely made it worse,” said Peter Boockvar, chief equities strategist at Miller Tabak. “In fact, there should be zero minimum wage for teenagers, or at most, something much less than the current rate.”

Teens typically are the first to be fired and the last to be hired back in a normal economic cycle, so this rate can be considered a kind of leading indicator of employment.

Taxes are what helps pay off the American debt. How does cutting corporate and capital gains taxes from the richest portion of the population help reduce the debt? If taxes are cut, debt goes up. This has been proven time and time and time again. Republicans are a big fan of reduced taxes and increased spending then leaving the legacy of the bloated debt to the next President who then has no choice but to increase taxes in order to deal with it then he gets blamed for his predecessor's failures.

What people fail to realize is that we don't have a revenue problem but a spending problem which creates that debt problem. You don't solve a debt problem by creating additional debt like using your credit cards to pay for your debts created by a previous credit card use. A better idea is to create greater revenue which in turn creates more jobs helps increase revenues to the Federal government.

That is an interesting article and she was absolutely right. Not only did the minimum wage increase cause more layoffs, a lot of minimum wage earners had their weekly hours cut. So instead of earning more - as was conveyed by the rhetoric from the left - what actually happened was much different. The damage done as a result of the minimum wage increase was severe. It made matters worse, not better. When minimum wage increased, so did the price of ... everything.

Another reason I vote Republican.
