        @WSJ the only person that wins from this is the tax man. Mind you, I will be able to increase rents on my properties now too.

        @WSJ 시간당 최저임금이 중요한 것이 아니라 안정된 일터가 중요하다. 노동자들을 착취하고 자본가들만을 위해 존재하는 outsourcing이라는 것을 전세계적으로 불법화하지않고는 노동자들은 계속해서 낮은 곳으로 더 낮은 곳으로 추락할 것이다.

        .@wsj UNION members support a higher minimum wage since their wage often goes up in lock-step w/ rise in min.wage. #minimumwage #union
