Why is it that Republicans keep proposing big new government spending programs to address perceived (or nonexistent) problems? Do you think government is insufficiently meddling with our lives and livelihoods? I thought that was the democRats' job. We certainly don't need two Big Stupid Government parties.

Unemployment and it's consequences are not imaginary problems. And the minimum wage law causes unemployment.

So eliminate the minimum wage, right? Fine by me. The trouble is that 90% of the people out there demand that there be a minimum wage. If the Republicans were to eliminate it, they would certainly be called villains. They would not stay in power.

You don't want that, do you?

Okay. So how do you get rid of the minimum wage without pissing off 90% of the public? I offered a way - a way that doesn't cause the unemployment of minimum wage and spreads the burden around instead of saddling just businesses with it.

What I'm suggesting is changing the form of "government meddling" so that creates less problems. Is that really that bad?

Can you source this silly assertion?

In reality, 90% don't care.

I'm not interested in keeping Republicans in power; look what they do with it. I'm interested in strangling government and restoring more individual liberties.
