What are you talking about? The government is ran by the people.Because that's a wage way out of whack to anyone who understands basic economics? You clearly don't. A standard of living is enough to afford an apartment without it taking more then 40% of your income, not having to rely on food stamps..Your entire argument is juvenile, the minimum wage is meant to ensure a basic standard of living for working people, no one wants to raise it to such an unreasonable Amount, however, it does need to keep up with the cost of living.
What's unreasonable about $100 hr.? Why is that unreasonable? Stop pretending it is juvenile and answer my questions. What is a basic standard of living? Is it the same for a high school kid living at home as it is for a single mother of three? We've had the minimum wage for 82 years and it doesn't seem to be able to keep up with the cost of living. Maybe if we raise it to $100 hr. that won't be a problem, right? I would think $100 hr. could meet the cost of living for just about everyone, don't you agree?
What do you mean "out of whack?" I think $100 hr. is adequate to provide a quality lifestyle to most anyone. You wouldn't need food stamps or have to worry about an apartment with that kind of money. Your standard of living would be excellent.
I don't work much now but back when I did work, my time and talent was worth $100 hr. If I couldn't make that it wasn't worth me doing. I didn't worry about how much I needed to make so that 40% of my income went to housing. I also didn't worry much about economics, it seemed to keep working just fine. So why are you so opposed to my idea of people making $100 hr.?
David is like government, just reasonable, damn it. They know what's best for us. I'm not sure why if they have the best, most reasonable answers, then why do they need to enforce their decisions with guns? That one is a poser
Gotcha, how's the kool-aid?
It's run by people, it's clearly not run by "the people." The idea that government can make our choices for us proves that. We are running the government to force us not to do that which we can just chose not to do ourselves? You are just advocating the tyranny of the majority
