THE HARD LIFE FOR OBAMA’S KIDS

Keep your eyes peeled if you are visiting Washington DC this summer. You might just run into Malia and Sasha Obama working at McDonalds or Popeye’s. Moochelle thinks they need to get “a taste” of doing real hard work for the minimum wage. They need to experience the tough life path followed by their parents:

1.  Minimum wage job for a few months.

2.  Private College.

3.  Ivy League Law school

4.  Government paychecks.

The picture below is their arrival at their first day of work at McDonalds. This country and its leaders have become such a farce, it’s hard to take anything seriously anymore.

 

Obamas want daughters to get taste of minimum-wage life

President Barack Obama and wife Michelle want their daughters Malia and Sasha to get a taste of what it’s like to work for minimum wage. The president and first lady both worked minimum-wage jobs before they went to law school and tell Parade magazine they want the same sort of experience for their teenage daughters. As Reuters writes, President Obama has focused this year on issues including raising the minimum wage, now $7.25 an hour. Asked by Parade whether they want their daughters to work in “character building minimum-wage jobs” as their parents did, the first lady replies: “Oh, yeah. I think every kid needs to get a taste of what it’s like to do that real hard work.”

“We are looking for opportunities for them to feel as if going to work, and getting a paycheck is not always fun,” the president says.

IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT MANDATED WAGES IN THE REAL WORLD

Nothing is free in this world. What the government requires be given to one group of people must be taken from another group of people.

One photo reveals big issue with Seattle’s $15 minimum wage

By Dustin Hurst | Northwest Watchdog

It’s easy enough to discuss what could happen under a controversial policy, but it’s a little more difficult to provide evidence after enactment to prove a claim.

In the case of SeaTac and its newly minted $15-per-hour minimum wage, the proof comes from a single photo of a parking receipt:

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSANDS WORDS: Yep, that’s a $6.93 ‘living wage surcharge’ right there.

Northwest Watchdog called Masterpark to verify the authenticity of the receipt. Kevin, the attendant on duty Wednesday afternoon, confirmed the charge is real. To deal with the higher wage, enacted on Jan. 1, Masterpark is charging customers an additional 99 cents per parking day, a surcharge that comes on top of all other taxes and fees.

The Washington Policy Center, a free-market think tank, originally noticed the receipt and offered its own analysis of the situation.

“Contrary to what supporters claim, increasing the minimum wage does not create jobs and stimulate the economy,” wrote Erin Shannon, the center’s small business analyst. “The higher wages are not free money. The increased cost must either be absorbed by the employer, which is impossible for many who already operate on shoe-string profit margins, or it must be passed on to workers, in the form of reduced hours and benefits, and consumers, in the form of higher prices. Either way, someone pays.”

Shannon calculated that the new surcharge amounts to an 8.25 percent tax hike for Masterpark’s customers.

This should stand as a warning to Seattle, which just approved a $15-per-hour minimum wage this week.

This is just a taste of what’s coming.

 

WHAT A TOOL

The commander in thief decided going on a comedy website yesterday wasn’t enough. The Ukraine crisis deepens by the hour, but this Tool decides a photo-op at The Gap will turn the tide in his idiotic effort to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour. This pitiful excuse for a leader has done polling and sees this is an issue supported by the millions of brain dead drone Obama voters. He pretends to shop at The Gap in an effort to push this agenda item. The compliant MSM mouthpieces will all run video of the tool tonight. They won’t mention that if Obama succeeds, The Gap and thousands of other retailers will fire hundreds of thousands of workers. Forward Amurika!!!

I bet that red top will go perfectly with his pink biking shorts.

OBAMA USING EXECUTIVE ORDER TO GIVE A 39% RAISE TO GOVERNMENT DRONES

According to the Washington Post, our Savior/President/Dictator will ignore Congress and give a 39% raise to government drones. He unilaterally wages war across the globe with his drone army. He unilaterally collects electronic data on every American. He unilaterally enforces or ignores the Obamacare law which Congress passed and he signed. He uses Executive Orders to bypass the other branches of government and disregards the will of the people. As he continues to unilaterally run this country, we inch ever closer to full dictatorship. We are one major crisis away from this sociopath declaring himself ruler for life.

Obama now decides the salaries of government drones based on nothing. His reasoning is beyond question. The wage should be $10.10. Not $9.50. Not $10.20. Obama knows the right salary for every American. Especially when it’s your tax dollars used to pay whatever he chooses.

“Hardworking Americans — including janitors and construction workers — working on new federal contracts will benefit from the Executive Order (EO),” the White House said in a statement. “Some examples of the hardworking people who would benefit from an EO include military base workers who wash dishes, serve food and do laundry.”

Fifteen senators wrote to Obama in the fall, saying that “profitable corporations that receive lucrative contracts from the federal government should pay all of their workers a decent wage.”

We all know that politicians know exactly what a decent wage is. Just like they know what a decent education is. Just like they know which Arab country to invade.

Obama will blather for over an hour tonight about his vision of America during his State of Disunion address. The morons in Congress will act like trained chimps, applauding, giving standing ovations, and generally confirming the fact they are nothing more than corrupt idiots representing special interests. I will not watch one second of this kabuki theater. I’d learn more watching Honey Boo Boo or Duck Dynasty.

This will be the 6th time Obama has promised the economy will be getting better next year. It seems next year never comes, as we spiral downwards at an accelerating rate.

DO YOU REALLY THINK MCDONALDS WILL BE PAYING BURGER FLIPPERS $15 PER HOUR?

Liberal do-gooders are so funny when they attempt to control the world. Their latest media aided cause is doubling the pay of fast food workers so they can have a living wage. Fast food jobs are for teenagers and adult dullards. You can’t earn a living working as a fast food worker. It seems only liberals don’t get it. Obama and his minions can push for an increase in the minimum wage and doubling of fast food wages, but it will just result in more people joining his free shit SNAP army. You can bet that McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King and every other bottom line oriented corporation is experimenting with RoboBurgerBoy. Robots will be replacing more dullards over the coming years.
