This Is How Leftist Policies Effect Our Lives Today

[mudwhistle]

Democrat policies have a huge effect on our lives in a bad way. Look at the price of a burger at Burger King or McDonalds. Why is it fast food costs nearly as much as a dinner at a diner or a restaurant? Answer: Democrat policies have done this.

What effects the price of meals the most:

• $15 minimum wage
• Taxes
• Energy prices
• Governmental regulations

Why is it when you go into Walmart there's 1 or 2 cashiers...but 6 automatic checkout stations? Answer: Democrat policies.
Just one more example of how Democrats and their crazy policies cost jobs.
If you really look at it....the higher cost of living caused by Democrat policies artificially raised the price of everything so that raising the minimum-wage seems like a good idea.

Democrats tell us that we all need a college education to be successful.....but if you look at it...there aren't enough good paying jobs for a person with a Bachelor Degree compared to someone with a skill or trade. The advantage of learning a trade is you don't end up with $120k in college debt and start working at least a couple of years sooner.

The Unintended Consequences Of Raising Minimum Wage To $15

The automated check-out lines at WalMart have nothing to do with liberals. It is a way WalMart can increase profits. Automation is always used to increase profits, and has cost more jobs than unions, overseas labor or taxes combined.

And taxes effect any enterprise. From the top to the bottom, all businesses are taxed. Whether they can qualify for loopholes is the difference between big business and small business.

Fluctuation in energy prices and gov't regulations don't cost enough to effect most businesses.

No offense, but you're full of shit.

30% of any business overhead is payrolls.
Never mind the demands by Democrats to provide full benefits including health care.
So the auto-cashier machine is a reaction to government that is overly intrusive.

Payrolls are not included in overhead costs. Now you might argue that is a technicality, I do have a point.

Payrolls are labor costs.

You can pay labor costs or you can pay welfare. While one can argue that automation is the reaction to labor costs, a basic wage is inevitably going to be the reaction to automation.

Payrolls aren't included?

Bullshit!!!!

I can tell you never ran a successful business..lol.

Dems selling drugs? Link?

And if people get hooked on drugs, how does the gov't take care of them. The gov't kicks them off welfare if they test positive for drugs.

And how is it the Dems selling drugs? Drug dealers attending political rallies now?

What are you taking about.. are you this unaware of current events or is just your IQ this really low loll

So your answer would be 'No', you don't have a link.

Why would I need a link to something everyone knows except you lol google bro! It’s set up for you lefties lol

Oh, so you make claims without a shred of evidence? Not surprising.

But let me ask you, are the elected politicians buy street drugs and reselling them on the street? Are they creating pill-heads by keeping people unemployed?

Why don’t you do research on the legalize drugs being sold in Boston today or given away.

You mean like medicine?

 

[pknopp]

Odd, there is no $15 minimum wage so how exactly has something that has never happened affected prices?

What???
I guess you forgot all of the attacks against McDonald's to raise their wages for workers to at least $15?

If you want to discuss this honestly, great. I'm seeing you don't.

No.....the problem here is the fact that hidden costs that the MSM never mentioned to you on FOX, CNN, or MSNBC.

Wages are not hidden costs and we do not have a $15 minimum wage. Try to be honest.

I was discussing wages. If you are discussing something entirely different you have to be more clear.

Who said we have a $15 national minimum - wage. I said that $15/ HR is being imposed on some businesses. It has been imposed in the federal government....and has been used as a club over businesses...specifically McDonald's

The argument was that the $15 minimum wage has made eating out at McDonald's almost as expensive as eating out at a restaurant. There is no $15 minimum wage so that can not be true.

McDonald's doesn't pay minimum-wage. They have been forced to pay more.

In some places. That wasn't the argument though was it? They have been forced to in some places because they can not get people to work there otherwise. That's free market capitalism, right?

Not exactly.

I never could get a job working at McDonald's because they knew they couldn't pay me enough to support my family.

They only hire people who just entered the job market or have supplemental income. McDonald's isn't set up to pay a living wage. To remain competitive they have to keep their prices lower.

So here comes socialist governments telling them how much they should pay their workers and yet keep their prices competitive.

That's what jobs at McDonalds used to do. Not so since we have offshored so many jobs. Is it McDonalds fault? No, not directly but you have your choices. The jobs that are left have to pay people enough to survive or you pony up more in taxes to provide welfare on top of what they earn.

Ask yourself who made sure all of those jobs left in the first place. It wasn't just socialists like Bernie Sanders. It was every president since Reagan that made deals with foreign countries to encourage outsourcing.

I absolutely agree..........at the behest of Wall Street. And for the record, I never blamed Sanders.

Trump policies: More dangerous food supply, more dangerous work places, high food stamps, gov. benefits to supplement the workers making $7.50 an hour, burger laced with growth hormones & presticides, but hey, its 50 cents cheaper.

If it were up to Republicans there would be no Medicare, no Social Security, no food safety laws, no workplace protections, and you'd be working 70 hour work weeks with no overtime, no vacation time & no benefits.

This is Trump's ideal America.

The working man gets fucked, the environment gets fucked while the business owners & wealthy thrive.

Trumpettes are getting fucked & they love it.

Exports. Ever hear of them?

Why don’t you do research on the legalize drugs being sold in Boston today or given away.

You mean like medicine?

No drugs ..
something used to be arrested for but now is sold by democrats.. why you trolling

I'm not trolling. I am asking questions about your claim. I googled "Dems selling drugs" and got lots of stuff about price controls on medications.

So the street dealers are democrats? Because I can't find anything that says elected officials are selling drugs.

You're only half right. The items you listed do affect the price of meals:

• The min wage also enables people to earn enough to live on. They might not need welfare or other support if they can support themselves.
• Taxes are bipartisan, it doesn't matter to the business if their taxes go to social programs or military programs
• Gov't should ensure availability of health insurance, clean air, safe drinking water, safe working conditions, etc. (at least it used to)

Increasing the min wage may speed up things like auto-check out but such changes are inevitable as AI and other tech develops.

If the GOVERNMENT wanted to take care of you......why the Hell are they bringing so many foreigners here...and giving them all of the stuff you listed, but never seem to get???

Government isn't here to provide you with health care, clean air, safe drinking water, safe working conditions. If you depend on the government to do everything....you'd better start getting in line (behind all of the Central Americans) with all of the other folks expecting the government to wipe their butts for them as well. We'll see how long it takes for them to run out of OUR money.

 

[anynameyouwish]

Dems are idealistic fuckwads...Republicans...are also idealistic fuckwads...just about different shit.

Of the two however, the Democrats are economically obtuse.

ok

fine

agreed


but republicans are authoritarian fascists who think beating people is funny.

so....if i only have THOSE 2 choices....

I'll pick the inept idiots.
