Doesn't Wallstreet dictate what we will pay for gas? That's ok though right? I would say outside forces are at work in just about everything that effects us.

All you dingbat wingers are the same ones who whine about food stamps, people not paying tax, people getting earned income credit, people on welfare, you complain about the welfare state without end, Seattle has come up with a living wage that will eliminate this tax burden, the Nation should follow their example!
A car salesman, an insurance salesman, a commerce trucker would all see the boon to local and national economies with a living wage!
According to an analysis conducted by the Economic Policy Institute, raising the minimum wage will increase the gross domestic product as workers spend their raises in their local businesses and communities, this economic activity in turn will generate new jobs!
Here’s a chance to end the Welfare State, to close prisons rather then build them!
But what will stand in the way of this progressive policy, the party of NO already whines! Vote the Republicans into extinction!

There is no whine from me. With all that money, the city will be able to buy their own shovels.

QUOTE ^^^no, that would be market forces.
Market forces. Pffft. It's a nice myth, but that's all it is. Everything is buggered by special (central banking) interests, now. It's been a poopstorm ever since 1913. Clinton's repeal of Glass-Steagall didn't help. Lehman and Goldman-Sachs and all the others would be feet up by now if your increasingly hypothetical "market forces" were actually allowed to play out. Instead, they shoot craps with trillions, and yet the American taxpayer is on the hook when they lose. And they did lose. Big. And not one of those mother frakkers went to jail. Sure, there was a Tom Petters here, and a Bernie Madoff there, just to make it look like somebody somewhere was trying to something something justice-y, and then the next news cycle happens, and it's as dead as the Chandra Levy story.
Nobody who is making money right here, right now, really cares, as they figure they'll be dead before the whole shooting match collapses in on itself. Our grandchildren are gonna love that crap.

What is the ratio of increase in the price of a Big Mac and the rise in the wages of the employee? This will tell the story. I remember back in early 70's or late 60's when McDonalds come to town. A BIG Mac, fries, and a coke was $.99.
