This is a fax from the National Federation of Independent Business that my wife fetched from work.
TELL YOU STATE SENATORS-DEFEAT MINIMUM WAGE BILL
The Louisiana State Senate will vote on a two bad bills shortly. SB-32 by Senator Cleo Fields would enact a Louisiana minimum wage increase of $1.00 per hour over the federal minimum wage. The minimum wage in Louisiana would go from the current federal level of $5.15 to a new level of $6.15m and whenever the federal minimum wage is hiked, the Louisiana minimum would automatically be $1.00 higher. No other southern state has such a requirement. This would put Louisiana at a serious disadvantage to our neighboring states in the job market. It will increase labor costs and reduce employment -especially for younger, inexperienced and low-skilled workers. Please contact your state senator immediately and insist that they vote against this very bad bill!
Ok WTF! I understand this is probably directed toward small businesses, but can these people be more ruthless? Apparently these people don't have a wife that makes 6.50 an hour. (I make 7 an hour and I'm in school.) You will just have to trust me when I say we still don't make the bills after the best of managing finances. Yeah minimum wage is more than enough to live on apparently. I guess I've been eating ham sandwiches, with 3 bad wisdom teath that hurt desperately, for NOTHING! Apparently I was just making sure I had enough money in the bank for that new house when I decided to take my wife to a 5 dollar clinic downtown last winter when she had the flu. I mean, what was I thinking. I guess the reason I didn't have hot water all last week is because I don't know how to work a shower, not because I couldn't pay my gas bill. Look, I don't want to bore you with my rants, but I've been living in this crap for far too long to have no pity for these selfish fat cats ^&@%#@!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah and another thing, don't come to Louisiana wearing hip hugger jeans girls because you might get fined 500 DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See it here, I can't believe this is all this state has to worry about!
P.S. I realize the cost of living in Louisiana is lower but I was making an argument that it's just not enough for low-skilled people to make ends meet. This was probably not the best site to post this LOL!
