Waka Flocka Flame is said to be running for president in 2016.

If you don't know who Waka Flocka Flame is, he a rapper with many tattoos.

Here are his presidential claims:
-Legalize marijuana
-Dogs not allowed in restaurants (even for the blind)
-People with 13+ sized feet cannot walk in public
-Education should be focused on "reality needs" rather than actual education
-No suits allowed in congress - only laid-back attire
-Minimum wage increase to $15/h
-Higher respect for women

Unfortunately for him, he is only 28 and must be 35 to become president.
This doesn't mean that he won't run in 7+years from now, however, and I almost feel doomed that our country will vote for him in the future as a joke, and he may actually become president.

This is the second time he has announced running for president.  

Education for "reality needs"?

No dogs allowed in shops?

My size 13 shoe really wants to meet this guy's face.  

#Support lol

No need to feel doomed, your vote doesn't really matter. We have something called an electoral college.  

-Legalize marijuana
Why make smoking a plant that makes people happy illegal?
-Dogs not allowed in restaurants (even for the blind)
Take out the blind part, and that's not a bad idea
-People with 13+ sized feet cannot walk in public
Sorry Wocka, that's dumb.
-Education should be focused on "reality needs" rather than actual education
Tell me when you've needed to balance an equation whilst sitting in your office?
-No suits allowed in congress - only laid-back attire
We all make descicions better when we're relaxed & comfortable.
-Minimum wage increase to $15/h
Amen.
-Higher respect for women
How is this bad?

I know some of my replies aren't very justified, but let's be honest his ideas aren't that bad.
Still better than any politician in the UK imo.

It's not the equations that are important. We can easily search them on Google. It's giving people the necessary knowledge of plugging in variables to make the correct question true.
Without the logic to be able to do that, our society will quickly become unintelligent in many fields of study and even work force.

And become unprofessional? Next you know, congress will be full of teenagers wearing snapbacks and shouting YOLO.

-Minimum wage increase to $15/h
Amen.

Inb4 prices rise to fit the new minimum wage, giving businesses chances to actually raise those prices beyond the correct scale ratio since no one is going to do the math to find what the new prices should be.
I.E 7.25/itemPrice should = 15/itemNewPrice
If the above is not equal, but the new price is higher, you're going to get ripped off. But who's going to take tabs on price changes every day and then spend time calculating that?
We all know businesses will up the prices and change the economy.

One could argue.

Thanks !
I had no idea who he was either, until today.
So I just looked him up on Google quickly.  

Chemists balance equations all damn day. So do accountants.  

Of all the rappers you could have chosen, you picked the worst.  

Bumping the minimum wage up to $15 will raise wages for 28 million workers. Since many of those workers will turn around and spend that money, that is a huge boost for the economy.

Also, a higher minumum wage wouldn't impact prices much at all, in fact if the minimum wage was raised to $15 an hour, the cost of a $16 DvD from Walmart would only increase by about 2 cent more. Does that really bother you?

And finally, if prices of things rose would it really be us getting ripped off? Or would it be minimum wage workers getting paid decently for doing hard work.
You could say that if they're minimum wage they don't have to work hard, but regardless of if you're a lawyer or a toilet cleaner an hour is still the same amount of time for each person and you're both doing the same amount of work.

It also means less money for the company as a whole, and that they need to be making more money in order to support all of their new workers or run risk of going bankrupt in a few years. The sad fact of the matter is that it wouldn't lead to more people being hired. It would probably lead to more layoffs and harder conditions on workers who are expected to do the tasks of the people who were impacted by budget cuts.

Also, it doesn't mean that people are going to turn around and spend money at the same company they work for. You can be a worker at a Coca-Cola plant and only buy products made by Pepsi, so there is no guarantee that the increased wages companies are required to pay employees will be returned.

But the amount of training involved is different. A lawyer and a mechanic have different skill sets than most people who work for minimum wage, so they make a lot more than a janitor would.

Also, granting a minimum wage increase for a job like that doesn't mean the person is necessarily working any harder than before. They'd just be compensated more to do the same job. (Unless they're given more tasks and responsibilities to match the wage increase, which would be likely to happen with any company forced to pay its workers more.)

Raising minimum wage is a bad thing. It hurts smaller businesses. It makes them hire less people, because they can't afford to pay people $15 hour. So, hurt the small business, and you hurt the middle class. Hurt the middle class, and you weaken the country.

Minimum wage should be lowered to $2  

Raising the wage will increase inflation in the economy.  

I wear size 16.5 US , **** you Waka Flaka Flame

Of course he wouldn't know that because that topic probably isn't covered with education in "reality needs".
