101 MILLION people in America getting some form of Food assistance
101 Million Americans Receive Food Aid From Federal Gov’t… More Than Number of Private Sector Workers… Is It Fair For People On Food Stamps To Buy Prime Rib And Lobster While Working Families Barely Survive? | InvestmentWatch
And 98 Million work in the private sector. While 101 Million is most likely wrong due to counting kids whose parents get food stamps and they get free breakfast and lunch PLUS the illegals taking their share this is just WRONG. Quote:

Makes me want to cry. What has become of a country that use to pride itself on self sufficiency and hard work? We are now a nation of leaches.
100 years ago we had no Federal income tax yet we could fight wars, build roads and had a vibrant economy. Now we have a Federal tax and more people are taking than paying. |

Once of the solutions to this would be to raise the minimum wage and close tax incentives for exporting jobs overseas, but I know none of you will have any of that.
See you later middle class, its a race to the bottom! |

Trade you on the min wage gig, IF you agree to shut down useless .gov agencies...like EPA, for starters, the list is VERY LONG.....layoffs for about 200k fed offices/workers......

As for the mimimum wage, if you pay someone more than they produce in economic benefit, you go broke. Econ 101. Get a labor pool that's worth paying well and pay them well and things work out fine. |

What "tax incentive" do corporations get for moving jobs overseas? Should we end tax incentives for moving foreign jobs here? |

The better solution is to stop rewarding failure. But that's not going to happen because it will destroy the Dem political base.

I'm in the environmental business. Virtually NO COMPANY spends money on environmental compliance UNTIL THEY ARE FORCED TO. Without the EPA your St. Johns paper plant down the river would make where you live uninhabitable. Quote:

You said "close tax incentives for exporting jobs" but somehow think that the lower taxes on money earned in other contries and kept in other countries doesn't incentivize companies to move production offshore? You posted a thought about minimum wage needing to be elevated without any expectations about increased productivity. You are therefore in favor of giving people money without them earning it. I posted a thought in favor of allowing people to keep more of the money they have earned if they bring it back to the US. They may not be related in your mind, but each is equally relevant to the OP. Last edited by Loco Vette; 07-10-2013 at 4:31pm. |

Ask the DC city government how well that living wage ordinance they just passed is working for them.

... it's amazing that any person could be so completely ignorant to the most basic concepts of economics and so brain dead that this doesn't even begin to register.

But when the goal is to bring down the upper class not bring up the lower class, weakening the dollar is the way you do it. Others are just completely blind to the economics of it. I'm just not sure which category Phil fits into. |
