LETTERS: Minimum wage is sickening

If electricity and internet bills don’t get ya — then the price of grocery’s and gasoline will.

I’m very impressed with letter writer Andy Homan’s advice suggesting people not go nude at the beach if you pack only the bare minimum?

Now about the huge increase of 20 cents to be added in September to the lowly minimum wage of $10.25 an hour. With increase’s a person can name on a daily basis, the measly 20 cents is gobbled up already!

If electricity and internet bills don’t get ya — then the price of grocery’s and gasoline will.

I would just love to see those politicians who could digest the minimum days pay in less than one minimum working day and I would bet they would still have to add to the golden credit card supplied by guess who?

I remember reading about one MLA (name withheld but think of Chow) who demolished $6,000 on lunch in one measly year. This next rip-off came right from a federal employee’s mouth who claimed that when travelling from home base they receive $90 a day to eat. Plus mighty fine accommodation.

Now if this is not true, let’s hear from one of the political greedy saying the $90 a day hog-fest just ain’t true.

There is so much hidden vomit that if the public did know, Canada would run out of barf bags and those bells would surely ring on the hill that needs more than a pill.
