What do you think is an appropriate raise for someone working minimum wage?

I am talking about personal empowerment. Are we on the same wavelength?

There go those damned bootstraps again.

Your idea of "personal empowerment" is a fantasy dreamed up in fantasy land. Here in the real world, hundreds of millions of American taxpayers pay the difference for Walmart employees to survive because Walmart won't, all the while eating up all the benefits and subsidies our government provides, and here you are, adamantly supporting it

Color me shocked!

The pie is growing, but the only ones benefiting are those at the top. Padawan showed you this in the increases in CEO salaries now verses 1975. I'm still waiting for you to explain that. And I'm not worried about my financial situation, I'm fine. But I'm smart enough to know that a rising tide raises ALL boats. I just hate to see people struggling when they shouldn't have to.

He won't address it

I'm talking about people starving when there's plenty to go around, do you have any thoughts which don't come off like "let them eat cake"?

The government bailing water from one side of the boat to the other does not rise the tide.

So you want to eat your neighbors grass because it is greener. Pass the pipe.

I want to eat all the billionaires.

 

[Padawanbater2]

do you have any thoughts?

Long shot..

 

[bu$hleaguer]

It's common sense that any worker working full time (40 hours a week) in America should be paid a living wage

If the job isn't important enough to pay the worker a living wage, it's not important enough to exist

Lol.



Are you a lumbersexual, pada?

Please stop skirting the question.

Where are all the news reports of people starving due to slavery and minimum wage? Oh wait, you might be exaggerating a tad bit... MAYBE????

He's right and your retort lacks substance.

Me too

I'd capture them first though, make a game out of it, then make em work off all the years of gluttony they've accumulated, I know I hate eating fat on the cows I eat.

"C'mon Ralph, run on the wheel or else you get the prod again.."

"But I hate running!"

"That's why you're a fat ass, now make my meat lean and tender, you're the special guest this Thanksgiving! : prod prod:"

Aren't you one of the dudes who talks about pedophilia nonstop on this site? Who needs a retort to you jokesters.

You're the utopian who thinks capitalism will somehow end poverty.

Either that or you want there to be a lot of poor people

 

[TBoneJack]

This means that independence for everyone is a crazy pipe dream. No matter what, there will never be enough jobs to go around, but there is far more than enough wealth and resources for everyone on earth to live well.

That kind of rearrangement of wealth and, uh, everything will be a long time coming I think...

Do you really think the world will ever transition to that kind of balance? Serious question.

Careful, you're talking to someone who pays teenagers $60,000 a year (undercover 1%er). This could be construed as a threat.

You clicked the reply button, but your words lacked substance. If you want to contradict someone, make a convincing argument.

I'll take the latter for 500, Alex.

Not as long as the gov't is around to protect capitalism.
