Time to give America a raise!
 

pras Obama commander in chief no one who works full time should have to live in poverty and driven to RMT!

its time for a raise America, its also a time for a raise in Norrath!

I call for an EXP bonus, lets have one please in celebration.:D

Bush Towers only real option.

Minimum wage is wrong.

I heard some republicans want to repeal minimum wage; do you agree with these baby murderers ?

Raising the minimum wage is just a scam to get more money into government coffers, if they really gave a shit about working people they would eliminate the bottom 3 federal income tax brackets.

+ XP bonus on red before any bonus on blue :p

How much taxes do you pay on a minimum wage job?

Need to establish and then lower the maximum wage.

^ this guy doesn't understand progressive taxes.

Edit: Nvm, did the math. Apparently I'm just an asshole. My argument was much better before I remembered to include SSi & Medicare taxes.

Federal minimum wage = 7.25 / hour. 7.25 * 40 hours a week * 52 weeks = 15080/year.
Tax rate on SSi/Medicare = 7.65% = 1153.62 taxed on that = 13926.38 net income before income tax
2014 standard deduction = 6200 = 7726.38 taxable income.

Lowest income tax bracket of 10% ends at 9075. 7726.38 < 9075
10% of 7726.38 = 772.64

772.64 + 1153.62 / 15080 = 12% effective tax rate
