[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's odd that people feel personally insulted by an increased minimum wage. Like, they want low-wage workers to suffer in order to buttress their sense of self-worth.[/quote]
Or, basic economics. But I know stuff like that is hard to understand. [/quote]

No, if it was basic economics you wouldn't take it so personally. [b]You clearly need to feel that there are people below you.[/b] It makes you feel better, in some sad little way.[/quote]
Yes. You're right - I do feel better when there are people who make less than me. I also feel better by the fact there are people who make more than me. We do not live in a communist society where everyone is economically equal, nor should we. [/quote]

I suspect it twists your gut, actually, that some people make more than you.

Otherwise you wouldn't be so profoundly invested in punching downward.[/quote]

NP. Please stop. You're making yourself sound foolish. Stop making your decisions based on emotions alone. [/quote]
