Why do most conservatives think it necessary for wealth to trickle down from he rich???? Think how the rich spend their extra money.

Why not raise minimum wages across board and let wealth trickle up?

GOP types just have this aristocratic view of life like lords of the manor are necessary.

Sorry, it is the regular everyday people who ought to paid a decent wage and a lot of this economic mess wouldneverhav happened.

The GOP is just enamored of the rich, and big business and it warps their perception of reality. Conservatism is about reality, not wishful thinking.

Do you really think that Bill gates did it all by himself?

parsy, the conservative who is not afraid to ask questions.

No. IBMs colossal stupidity coupled with Gate's dad who was a pretty damn sharp IP lawyer helped a lot.

Raising minimum wage causes job losses and harms the economy. Like Marxists, your conceptualization of economics is concrete—you view it as composed of static entities. Such distortion will cause you to be wrong every time.

Lower taxes, and regular everyday people will be paid decent wages. Raise minimum wage, and many of them will lose their jobs. Why would you wish economic harm to individuals, and to the country?

(Funny—you’re a conservative but all your positions are far left.)

Conservative? All the while supporting obama economic policies and talking points?

There's not one conservative statement you've made in this post.

How'd you manage to last on FR for so long?

Spoken like a true liberal/socialist without any connection to reality and common sense.
