entertainers......what don’t they know.
Hollywood morons....their agents, managers and accountants must rip them off constantly! :)
If you want to find out the “real” level of poverty in this country, let’s give the German Workfare System a try. Under this system, if you can fog a mirror and are collecting any type of gov’t transfer payments, you show up at 7AM for work M-F at a gov’t job. That might be cleaning toilets, washing the street...something that makes you work 8 hours each day. Evidently, people would rather find a “real” job than put up with the kind of jobs the gov’t offers under this system. Sounds like a plan to me.
I never take seriously anything people who dress up and play pretend for a living say.
Who?
Stupid attempt. “Mary Poppins” shows how taxes have drained her take home pay and then goes on demand a higher wage as if taxes won’t drain that as well. Just pure intellectual disconnect directed at morons who are incapable of rational thought.
Btw, the author missed that point as well as others that have tried to put down Bell’s asinine skit.
Here’s the simplest way to put the minimum wage argument:
If an apple has a actual value of 25 cents,
and the gov’t demands that apples be priced at 50 cents,
there will be (at first) a lot of people providing apples at 50 cents,
and very few buyers of apples at 50 cents.
If a worker’s output is worth $5 per hour,
and the gov’t requires employers to pay $10 per hour,
there will be a lot more people willing to work for $10 per hour,
and much fewer “buyers” at $10 per hour.
This is called “unemployment”.
Missing from this article, as with so many, is that Union wages are indexed to the minimum wage. So, all the useful idiots go out and commit employment suicide so that already-overpaid union shills can suck even more productivity out of the economy.
The reality is that minimum wage jobs are either entry level jobs for young workers, part time jobs for people looking for extra cash or jobs fir very low skilled workers.
As soon as the minimum wage is raised, the wage hike rolls through the economy as many Union Wage scales are tied to the minimum wage.
Higher wage costs fuel inflation of goods and services which raise prices to the point that they offset and purchase power increase from the wage hike.
So the minimum wage makes not only it harder for young or low skilled workers to obtain entry level jobs , it does not raise the living standards of the low wage workers , it just sets a higher priced bottom floor of the economy for them to live in and a steeper set of stairs to climb the job ladder
If you elect me President I will make the minimum wage $1000/hour. There will be no more poverty. Everyone will only have to work one hour per day to make $5000/week. That’s over a quarter million a year. We all can drive fancy cars, fly airplanes and vacation in Colorado, chilling.
Pretty, but stupid. Actually just pretty stupid.
She let Dax Shepard but a baby in her, obviously she’s not too bright.
They named the kid Lincoln. It’s a girl.
How about Jeffery, Roderick, Lawrence, Bleu Chesse, Space Cadet, Waffle Iron, or Barack? All fine names for their next daughter.
OK, if they really believed that raising the minimum wage by $3 gets everyone above the poverty line, then the same bill could eliminate all welfare programs.
Here’s an idea to blows the minds of the Socialist left:
Fine, increase the min. wage $3. At the same time, since there are no longer those in ‘poverty’, remove the ‘safety net’ and (finally) end the War on Poverty.
Course, my first suggestion has always been: Open your OWN business and pay your employees what YOU wish; don’t forget the bennies. Then, ping me in 2 years to let me know how it went (as I’ll presume 99% would be closed/out-of-biz).
....”It’s cheeky, and it’s fun”....
Which is half the problem in our nation...it all has to be “cheeky and fun” to get this generation to pay attention. Being a “cute” society leaves much to be desired otherwise....
