Some supporters of the minimum wage do so on the grounds that even it is costly, that corporations simply “pass on the cost” to their customers, who are so obviously different and richer than the workers “needing” the pay increase.
Fine.

This is apparently all done overseas in order to evade rules that govern domestic data collection. According to the story, “Two engineers with close ties to Google exploded in profanity when they saw the drawing.”

That was from Wonkblog.
I had to Google Russell Brand to find out who he was, but, then again, Katie Couric is still working for CBS, right? We are expected to pay attention to their philosophical musings?
I would like to see more defenders of socialism on this blog defending its success, even if it means something of more value than freedom. We will not jump all over you, comparing you to Frank Pallone, attacking your parenthood, et cetera. Wintercow insists on fair arguments. Be brave.
