Imagine what the United States economy would be like TODAY! IF... we had IGNORED THE LEFT!

Sounds like my first job when I was in high school and had nothing more to pay for than gas and insurance. This is the Leftist delusion, that people are trying to raise families, pay mortgages, and carrying family health plans based on their work at McDonald's. Some jobs were never designed to be "living wage" jobs. Anyone can flip burgers and work a cash register which is why you typically see kids doing these kinds of jobs, kids that don't need a lot of money. As people age, they acquire skills and experience and their pay goes up. I now make much, much more. I'm not supporting my family on my high school job. Anyone that is must have screwed up very badly, maybe did some prison time. Sucks for them, but that's the price you pay.

What were you making per hour then? How much is that in 2014 dollars?

Answer honestly. Then tell me why my son makes less than $9 per hour making sandwiches.

Who cares how much it was in 2014 dollars? It paid for gas, car insurance, and maybe some CD's; all a 16 year old needs. If you're working at McDonald's in your high-earning years, you screwed up. Don't demand what you don't deserve.

Dude.......how much were you making? Can you answer a simple question? Of course it matters.

Please. What was your hourly pay back then?

It was $4.50/hr like I ALREADY SAID. What did you not understand about "Sounds like my first job"? Are you borderline illiterate?

You made $4.50 per hour. Thanks. Please.....tell me what year that was. Thanks.

1991

If the conservative path were taken every time over the last 60 years our country would no longer exist and neither would the world. We would be nothing but irradiated cinders blowing across the face of a dead world.

Do tell! Now can you provide any actual basis for that, beyond your feelings, or is vacuous nonsense the extent of your means?

(Sadly, your screen name is the first bad sign. But I gotta say, claiming membership with the most feckless 'movement' in modern history... is HYSTERICAL! And in every sense of the word.)

Had a conservative been president during the Cuban missile crisis the world would have never made it. The more you find out about it the more amazed one becomes that we survived and it was thanks to one liberal who faced own not only the Soviets but a defense establishment that was convinced that a first strike on our part was the only choice.

The good news is that most human beings are aa hell of a lot more ambitious than the average RW so this scenario isn't realistic. We don't have to give up science and technology and the advances we've made just so we can live in the RW dream world of earning nothing while making iPhones for China.

And you can thank those darn ole liberals for the US and for the Constitution. If not for them, you lazy RWs would be speaking with a British accent.

That's wonderful. You were ripped off almost as badly as the kids today are. You are young enough to be a victim of GOP economic policy.

Did you know that in 1991 you were making the equivalent of $1.78 in 1975 dollars. The minimum wage in 1975 was $2.10.

Does that piss you off?

It should.

Gas. Car insurance. Music CD's. It's like you were never a teenager.

Did someone force them to work for that value?

They don't get it. They grew up being taken care of by their parents. They still live at home or they live off welfare and now they believe they should work for the 1% overlord.

We had the last president that proudly called himself a liberal and people like you despised him even after he saved the world.

 

[Mr Natural]

We would all be working for $4.50 per hour without benefits.

If we were lucky enough to have a job at all.

ROFLMNAO!

You're conflating "Liberal", which is to say 'one who advocates for individual LIBERTY', with a socialist, 'one who contests individual liberty'.

Jack Kennedy would have beat you into a blood stain before he would allow you to claim any kinship with him. Bad back notwithstanding.

 

[Toro]

Today, we would have THRIVING Textile, Steel, Electronics and Auto-manufacturing industries, where tens of millions of good, highly skilled people would be making excellent wages... providing high quality products, which would be sold throughout the world. Teenagers would be working in low-skilled service jobs, making the wage which reflects minimum skills and everyone would understand that THAT IS HOW CHILDREN ACQUIRE MARKETABLE SKILLS... .

Black families would be thriving with a majority of such having two parents of the distinct gender... and US Medical Care would be cheap and plentiful and the envy of the species.

But no... Instead we sought to normalize abnormal, perverse reasoning and those industries are GONE!

hahaha

Hilarious.

Where_r_my_PubliusInfinitum displays his ignorance of economics once again.

You assume a lot in those few sentences but the fact remains that conservatives of the time hated his guts, you seeking to claim him as a conservative is pretty ignorant.

Social conservatives hated him because he was a philanderer and was an unfit role model as president. They didn't oppose his push for tax cuts or his opposition to communism and stand for national strength on a global scale.

JFK WAS a conservative. That fact alone makes your argument look more than a little silly.

I know it nearly by heart and it perfectly describes my ideal of a liberal politician.
