Just like Don't Taz Me Bro, you missed my point.
But how do you know that we did "just fine"?
Were you alive before SS?
Or the income tax?
No, I didn't miss it. We didn't need govt to take care of us before all of FDR's social programs. Why was there such a big conundrum in the 30's to push for a nanny state that answers all needs....but doesn't?
No, you did miss it.
My point was that whether or not SS, welfare, and the income tax were necessarily at the time is meaningless NOW.
NOW, it's politically impossible for those programs to be ended. We didn't "need" them then - but our society certainly "needs" them now.
Just like the demands of the morons on Wall Street.
When people are paid $7 an hour some jerks will still call that a "job". That isnt a "job." I would work at 1/16 speed for that kind of pay. And yet some who occupy these jobs say they are "happy to have a job." Thats bizarro.

I gotcha. You're right. It's meaningless now because everyone is entrenched. If it were voluntary, I would never complain.

Exactly.
"Really, I mean how ever did we survive before Social Security, the nanny welfare state, and the income tax? Everyone knows expecting personal responsibility and accountability is as radical as expecting everything to be handed to you on a silver platter for doing absolutely nothing at all. That's just crazy talk, man. Crazy"
I need my Social security and I never got anything handed to me on a silver platter. That only happens to the very wealthy for they havent gotten wealthy from hard work but from barely paying others to make them rich. I paid into for 50 years. Or would you rather have people live in squalor because thats where we are headed. Back to the feudal system. Hope you like serfdom. The so called "american dream" is a complete joke unless "barely getting by is the definition of it."
My parents are what you would call 'very wealthy'. They worked for it. They certainly didn't 'barely pay others' to make them rich, you fucking moron.
Stop fucking blaming others for your own failures.

When people are paid $7 an hour some jerks will still call that a "job". That isnt a "job." I would work at 1/16 speed for that kind of pay. And yet some who occupy these jobs say they are "happy to have a job." Thats bizarro.
So you are too good for it?
well newsflash: You aren't.
And if you arent willing to work a job that isnt important, why the heck would anyone want to give you an important one?
What bugs the shit outta me is the demand for a guaranteed living wage even if unemployed............... well now?????/ why in the fuck would any of us opt for employment????? you'd be the biggest dumb ass on the planet to actually toil for money whilst the left winged shit throwing monkeys sat around and laughed at ya...

That's just it, today kids show up at the job site with an arts degree or some fuckin' useless piece of paper, and feel entitled to the same pay and job as the guy who's done it 20yrs. They are waaaay to good to do the grunt work while paying their dues and working their way up, like the rest of us on the job have done.
They feel that they're owed. The thought of working thier way up never occurred to them. Actually? Those that want high pay and little/no experience are spoiled jerks in my book.When people are paid $7 an hour some jerks will still call that a "job". That isnt a "job."

Sounds like you have been recently replaced by someone with a "fuckin' useless piece of paper."
Usurping the 9th and 10th Amendments perhaps?Find the biggest radicals and make them the general rule...pfffft- TY propaganda machine...I'm for $10.50, the equivalent if 1968's min. wage. Doing away with the min. wage is just more Banana Republic stuff, unbelievable. BTW, the min wage in Australia is $15, NZ $13. Hello!!!!???
Why does the federal government need to establish an minimum wage if it can be done by a state government, if that government finds it necessary?
They feel that they're owed. The thought of working thier way up never occurred to them. Actually? Those that want high pay and little/no experience are spoiled jerks in my book.So you are too good for it?

Crazy idea. Let's eliminate the Federal minimum wage.
That's not crazy. Minimum wage mandates would not be necessary if we lived under a system of fair taxes and a budget balanced by law.
why not just balance the budget? Why do we need a law to do what we all know needs to be done?
Why dont we have a system of fair taxes? a 9% flat tax seems good. Why not that?
And throw fits like the jerks protesting Wall Street.They feel that they're owed. The thought of working thier way up never occurred to them. Actually?

My experience has shown those who skate through school just to get a useless degree will also try to skate through life expecting the America they condemn to look after them. I try to toss these resumes now, fuck 'em.

Oh I'm sorry...what percentage of the population are your parents?
