Are republicans opposed to the leftwing simply because they don't understand it?

[Billy000]

The minumum wage in terms of inflation is stuck in the 60s. 18 million people make less than 10 per hour. Don't you think that's a problem? Millions of people have NO CHOICE but to accept low wage jobs.

Regulations to protect the environment, food and drugs.

Medicaid only pays for so much. Poor people can't afford basic cancer treatment. Big Pharma makes all it's money off of the middle class and wealthy.

Shift most of the tax burden to the wealthy. This will improve education and infrastructure. Both of which improve jobs for the middle class.

Lets put that 18 million in perspective. That means that over 94 percent of the population is making over minimum wage. Of the 5.6 percent that is making minimum wage, how many are teenagers or young adults who live at home or are entering the work force for the first time?

Just throwing out numbers means very little without context. A 5% minimum wage rate is not the crisis some people would like to make out.

That's easy to do actually. The average person in fast food is 29 years old. Most of that 18 million are adults.

You of course, have an unbiased source for that? Because if a person is 29 years old and has been in fast food making minimum wage since 17 or 18 (A period of 11 or 12 years) the problem is not the minimum wage. IT is the person.

And apparently you did not answer My question. How many are first time workers or young adults living at home?

Lol why do you assume these people have been in fast food that long? You're just making your own assumptions. Look it up. The average age of someone in fast food is 29. Of course those far from the only jobs that pay less than 10 per hour.

Again, answer the question. How many are young adults entering the workforce for the first time, or living at home.

A person who is 29 is 11 or 12 years removed from when people traditionally enter the work force. So, if after 10 years you are still making minimum wage, the problem lies with you, not the wage.

Thr problem simply isn't fast food. It's low wage jobs outnumbering higher wage. How many people do you think make less than 15 per hour?

Most fast food workers don't make minimum wage for more than about a month while they are trained, and prove they can show up on time, properly dressed, and with a decent attitude.

BTW, how old are you?

What is your level of education?

More than a month? What? That's bullshit. There's only so many manager positions and they are the only ones who make more.

28, Bachelor's degree.

Hey, Billy. We understand the left wing only too well. More government dependence, less freedom. That's all you need to know.

Billy, every thread of yours goes the same: stupid premise that gets kicked to the curb repeatedly while you claim others are wrong until you abandon the thread because you've been so humiliated.
Why do you bother?

I think I found your problem Billyboy...

Starting threads like this:

We understand it so goddamn well it's why we can barely stand assholes like Clinton and Obama. Just to name two.

 

[rdean]

Food stamps have doubled in 8 years with fewer restrictions and you claim Obama is a centrist. NO asset means test on ACA, folks with a million or 3 in the bank can qualify with low income, and Obama is a centrist. Roll me one out of your bag. Obama grows socialist programs.

So you admit that under Bush over 40,000 factories closed. That millions of jobs moved to China. Do you admit these things?

So, is it easier to send jobs away or bring jobs back. How have Republicans helped to bring jobs back?

Please answer the questions.

LOL! Yeah, that's why th unemployment rate on Bush's worst day in office was better than all of Obama's first term and a good part of his second.
RDerp lies again.

 

[healthmyths]

Republicans seem to only use labels such as "socialism", "communism", or "facism" in regards to the left. They make outrageous claims like Obama and democrats want everyone to abandon their jobs and live off welfare. They think liberals wants to end capitalism as we know it.

None of this is based in reality but they believe it anyway. They just believe what they want to believe. Do they even understand what liberalism stands for? I think if they did understand it, they would embrace it.

When will facts permeate their stupidity bubbles?

Here is a FACT for you... Obama said and I quote exactly:
"I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care program."
If he is a proponent of a single payer... then what happens to the 1,400 health insurance payer companies that
1) Employ 400,000 people
2) Pay over $100 billion a year in Federal,state,local and property taxes?

To me that just shows his stupidity of how economics 101 works because to have a SINGLE payer means doing away with 1,400 companies.
Here is another FACT Obama has said he'd prefer:
"I'd like higher gas prices, just not so quickly.."

Embedded media from this media site is no longer available

WHY would any person let alone the President of the USA poor people to pay higher gas prices?
Shear stupidity on his part when he made this statement because I know he thinks we should do something about "global warming"...right.
At the time his OWN NOAA drops 600 weather reporting stations because they are reporting inaccurate temperature readings!
Temperature readings are biased as NOAA assessed when closing 600 weather stations amid criticism they're situated to report warming thanks to temperature readings from sweltering parking lots, airports and other locations that distort the true state of the climate.
Indeed, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has closed some 600 out of nearly 9,000 weather stations over the past two years that it has deemed problematic or unnecessary, after a long campaign by one critic highlighting the problem of using unreliable data.
* In Canada the number of stations dropped from 600 to 35 in 2009. The percentage of stations in the lower elevations (below 300 feet) tripled and those at higher elevations above 3000 feet were reduced in half. Canada’s semi-permanent depicted warmth comes from interpolating from more southerly locations to fill northerly vacant grid boxes, even as a pure average of the available stations shows a COOLING. Just 1 thermometer remains for everything north of latitude 65N – that station is Eureka. Eureka according to Wikipedia has been described as “The Garden Spot of the Arctic” due to the flora and fauna abundant around the Eureka area, more so than anywhere else in the High Arctic. Winters are frigid but summers are slightly warmer than at other places in the Canadian Arctic.
Distorted data Feds close 600 weather stations amid criticism they re situated to report warming Fox News

Why did Obama drop after ACA was past the commonly used figure BEFORE ACA "
“I don’t have to explain to you that nearly 46 million Americans don’t have health insurance coverage today. In the wealthiest nation on Earth, 46 million of our fellow citizens have no coverage.”
Today after ACA passed he SAYS 10 million of the 46 million are not citizens!!! Did he just learn that?

These are just THREE facts that shows me Obama is both ignorant and incompetent!

Oh and had Obama been successful in raising the minimum wage, far less people would be eligible for food stamps. You didn't know that did you?

They would still be poor and the food stamp limit would have to be raised Ass hat

Why would they still be poor? If the minimum wage was increased to 10.10, the price increase on goods would be pennies on the dollar. Not only that, but the boost to consumer spending would keep prices down.

FACTS!
In 1979 6,912,000 or 13.4% of all hourly workers worked at minimum wage
In 2009 there were 3,572,000 people working at minimum wage of the total work force of 72,897,959 at hourly wage or 4.9%

WHERE would the consumer boost in spending come from??? 3,572,200 people? BIG INCREASE in spending to do what? Prices down???
How dumb are you? When the supply of a product increases does that also follow an increase in prices?
For you economically shrift LIP...
You said boost spending keeps prices down...right?

Prices go up when the supply goes down. Called law of supply and demand.
So in your lame scenario more consumer spending means less supply which means....DUH prices go up not DOWN!

It's because we understand it all too well. So does anyone else familiar with history.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Obama has spent over $20 TRILLION dollars and all we have to shoe for it is record debt, deficits and food stamps

Progressives Fail 100% of the time

About 3 trillion is from Bush's tax cuts. The bulk of it is defense spending which you repubs love.

Right, and they lie about everything.

Everything

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

"Are republicans opposed to the leftwing simply because they don't understand it?"

It's because most on the right are frightened by the change, diversity, inclusion, and expressions of individual liberty those on the left represent, embrace, and champion.

Conservatives are for the most part reactionaries, they fear change and perceive it as some sort of 'threat,' however unwarranted.

Good god dude. I've already explained this to you. If you boosted the wages of everyone making under 10.10 per hour, that's 18 million People. The 4% making 7.25 are hardly the big picture.

Um prices go down when demand is up. That allows businesses to sell stuff cheaper.
