Setting the living wage

It is not hard to do, Australia has much lower unemployment levels the the USA, it is the only developed country that suffered no recession during the Global Financial Crises, and yet our minimum wages are higher than the USA, you can live in honorable poverty on them, by which I mean you will have everything you need, not everything you will want.

You really should learn about the new invention known as the Internet.

Australia slashes immigration as recession looms - Australasia, World - The Independent

We are not in a recession and have the lowest unemployment in the Western World.

Perhaps the Independent should learn the art of journalism?

But do you think the "Arrogant" US would try and learn from a successful country like yours, maybe pattern ourselves by your system?? They would rather butcher every citizen in America than do something so noble.
 
Every country is organic to its culture, but Americans are particularly averse to learning from the success of others countries.

I love the USA; I do not think any nation has done more to advance democratic civilization since WWII, but the USA is now a self indulgent debt ridden nation caught in political debates that could be turned into a Wiggles song.

Where are the adults?
 
Socialism has never and will never work. It only ends in corruption, misery, and death.

Keep lying to yourself Avatar.

Ignore the killing fields if you'd like.

So Capitalism will never work because Hitler was a fascist capitalist of corruption, misery, death, nation builder, and more recently under Bush, of rape, torture & murder?? Do you think those criminal acts have anything to do with Capitalism? Probably not. At least I don't logically see an association.

Seems to me that capitalism breeds corruption, greed, and a shitty work attitude. I don't see that among socialists, I think because they pull together for the better good of themselves and their country. These are wired elements that underlie their work ethic. It can be achieved in the American worker, but only to the corporate level, where beyond that it breaks up. He goes home insecure and to the unknowns. ie. will I have a job tomorrow, can I afford a vacation, should I save more for retirement, do I need to buy more medical coverage, the dental braces & bills, and college, etc. The socialist is showered in his benefits, he sees them all the time, and he knows the unknown, he is confident and knows where he will be in retirement. He doesn't worry about his family's major needs like Americans. Ie medical, education, retirement, job security. He even gets free cable TV, food & rent prices are stable. And he is rested at 32 hour work weeks, mandatory paid vacations & twice as many paid holidays. He has bullet trains wisk him far off to weekend get aways.

Capitalism does not breed anything, people are corrupt, greedy, and lazy. What cpitilism does is gove people the most incentive to work for profit, while socialism simply allows them to be lazy, and let the corruption and greedy rise to the top.

That can't be, as you just stated people are corrupt, so capitalism is corrupt, greedy & lazy.

Hey dipshit, capitalism is not corrupt, nor is socialism. Socialism just rewards laziness better than capitalism.
