As opposed to those worthless leeches who have no desire to earn a wage at all and are just a burden on society, true.


You say this as if acting responsibly is a vice of some sort.

Explain to me the logic behind the Laffer curve, why it has been proven that there is a maximum revenue percentage point, and beyond that? Increasing taxes only encourages folks to either cheat or flee the place where taxes are placed.

Explain why more regulations actually reduces market competition and economic growth, rather than increasing it.

Or don[t explain any of this.

The current administration knows all of this, apparently you don't though.

Democrats, for all their promises, didn’t dare repeal the Trump tax cuts after all

The Federal government needs a massive head count reduction in every department except air traffic control, and national security. Intelligence agencies need to be gutted and realigned. Drug Cartels need to be declared terrorist organizations. Fentanyl needs to be made a schedule 1 narcotic no matter what Big Pharma wants. We need to send military South of the border to start heading off the illegals before they get to the border.

That was to alleviate some speedbumps for soybean farmers on the road to more domestic production, moron.

Okay, so what should be done with excess labor value?

The Duke, what's "excess labor value"?
Any enterprises' managers believing the federal minimum wage rate's too high, can refrain from hiring anyone. They themselves can perform the tasks. The federal minimum wage rate's the legally lowest national permissible rate.

it should, (as social security retirement benefits now are) annually increased by the extent of the U.S. dollar's rate of inflation. Additionally, until the minimum wage rate regains its maximum purchasing power of February-1968, it should also be annually increased by some additional nominal amount.
