| Message | Minimum wage isn't a right. If you don't like the wage they're paying, start-up your own business or go down the street and find a higher wage job. Employers owe you very little. You didn't set-down the bucks to start the company. You don't collect the payroll taxes and keep the books. If they lose profits because of subpar workmanship, they get hit first. You're entitled to nothing. |

And corporate Aloria stand together, and if these laws do not exisit, they all pay the same low wages. Thisis the real world!!! |

| Message | Entitlements, entitlements, entitlements. In the real world, FSDP, I have no more the right to impose a minimum wage on employers than I do a maximum wage on workers. You have to be consistent with government laws/policy! Well...you liberals don't, but the conservative block at least attempts such. Without "corporate" Aloria, the workers would have no work. Which means, the government would have no taxbase. Which, again, means none of your lovely government services and programs. That is reality! |

| Message | 1. WE are not liberal. 2. Without workers, there would be no corporate Aloria. |
