Source:Associated Press– talking about living on the minimum wage.
“Shaniqua Davis, a fast food worker in New York City, talks about the struggles she faces trying to raise a family on the federally mandated minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. She plans to participate in a nationwide strike scheduled for Thursday.”
From the Associated Press
I’m in favor of raising the minimum wage to 10-12 dollars an hour under certain conditions. Like a break for small employers and allowing them to deduct thirty percent of it from their taxes. But that alone won’t bring down poverty, but it would be a big help to these workers as well as the economy. And the fiscal outlook for the country because you would see more people on public assistance going to work as a result.

I use the American Liberal photo as the cover photo for this blog, because that’s exactly what I am. And no, not in the stereotypical, sort of pop culture sense of what an American Liberal is supposed to be. But someone who represents what American liberalism, as well as European liberalism, and perhaps the liberalism of the rest of the world outside of the United States.
Liberals are people who believe in defense of liberal democracy, as well as the preservation of liberal democracy. And of course we also believe in liberal democracy with all the individual rights, and other liberal values that come from liberal democracy, the liberal democratic form of government, like equal opportunity, equal rights, equal justice, property rights, individual freedom and freedom of choice for everybody, as well as limited but responsible government, and fiscal responsibility
