Given your 0-for-the-century record on predicting Presidential Contests....that is funny. But hey, your looks aren't everything.

“We are a country that is being beaten on every front — economically, militarily,” Trump said. “Taxes too high, wages too high, we’re not going to be able to compete against the world. … People have to go out, they have to work really hard, and they have to get into that upper stratum.”

Trump is right. Minimum wage increases kill jobs. Everybody with a brain knows that, it's simple logic.

He is absolutely right. It may not be popular but it's true.

I actually like his style on this... shut down the liberal talking point about raising the MW. No mealy-mouth Bush up there trying to slobber around and find a way to agree with the libtards... just pop them square in the kisser with a jolt of sheer reality. We can't compete globally, our wages are already way too high due to years and years of liberal unions and special interests whining until they get their raise. Having government step in and strong-arm business into forking over more money to labor isn't going to help fix our problems... so sit down and shut the fuck up!

The problem with debating minimum wage with conservatives and especially republican conservatives is the issue is not about fairness or morality, it is rather about ideology and opposition involving perceived assumptions about who would get the raise. Underlying the opposition is economic agitprop from corporations whose only concern is next quarter earnings, and the Pavlovian response to anything that helps all Americans. It is part of a mindset created by business for over sixty years. The conservatives are well trained and facts have no place when the idea is an embedded belief. Tell them Clinton raised the rate and all went well and you have sufficiently countered them, but they still follow, as again it is not about rationality but rather about opposition based on ideology. Belief systems run deep for some. See book at bottom.

Raising the Minimum Wage to $12 by 2020 Would Lift Wages for 35 Million American Workers

Wrong Idiot. It's a proven fact that Repubtards kill jobs & slow economic growth. Not one Republican on USMB or running for president understands how a government stimulates private sector job growth. Economist Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes, etc have all proven how it's done, yet Repubtards get their economics education from political campaign TV ads.

oh wow, a socialist and a nasty one to boot.
HOW is that we now have 94Million working age people WITHOUT A job? Obama FOLLOWS your scared Keynes, etc and believes how the government is the god of all mankind. Of course that would be because he's in Guberment and how he thinks of himself, the rest of us he could care less about

Liberals know nothing about growing jobs or handling the economy. The only thing liberals know about money is how to steal it from somebody who works for a living. You aren't qualified to discuss this issue, moron.

No... you're right, it's not about fairness or morality. We want you to suffer miserably. We're tired of your shit. We've listened to your whining long enough and it's going to stop. If you want to call us mean names and stomp your feet, that's fine... go for it!

You sons of bitches had your chance to be reasonable and work with republicans and you didn't want to do that. All you ever want to do is whine and moan and pull at everybody's heart strings with your liberal bullshit until you get what you want, and then turn around and be as ungrateful as you can. Your era of influence is over.

Not about fairness.. we want to be extremely fucking UNFAIR to you. Can you blame us?
Not about morals... which you wouldn't recognize if it were sitting in your lap calling you "mamma."

Trump has acknowledged Porky as someone he agrees with, and to Trump and his MessiahRushie we need "plum" jobs like China's to compete with them.

DONALD J TRUMP: We are a country that is being beaten on every front — economically, militarily,” Trump said. “Taxes too high, wages too high, we’re not going to be able to compete against the world. … People have to go out, they have to work really hard, and they have to get into that upper stratum.”

January 23, 2012
RUSH: As I say, they leave out one crucial factor here and that's unions, to help explain why manufacturing in America can't compete with the way the ChiComs do it.

Let me give you a fascinating statistic that will put this in perspective. The primary manufacturing company for Apple's products is called Foxconn, Hon Hai Precision Industry, and they make electronic gadgets for practically everybody. Apple is one of their largest customers. They have, at one factory, 230,000 employees. One factory: 230,000 employees. Most of them live in dormitories on the site of the factory. There's a hospital, there are kitchens. This place goes through... I wish I could remember. The tonnage of pork and rice every month this place goes through to feed its employees is astounding. They have 230,000 employees in one factory. They work six days a week, 12 hours a day. They earn the equivalent of 17 US dollars a day, and they are plum jobs in China.

Obviously YOU are changing Trump's words as if he is a LOSER to STUPID to know what words he wants to use.

 

[Care4all]

So, the way to compete with China getting all of our manufacturing is to bring USA wages DOWN to China's wages?


What a STUPID comment and thoughtless idea.
