The kid wrote an article "Everything Republicans believe is wrong" on the heels of his article "Marx was right".
The kid should have known better. He has endless summer nights to ponder his mistake. The hazard he faces after making such claims just might haunt him now and forever. His assertions don't mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. It's too late to say goodbye to what he's already written at this point. However, I'm satisfied that the 8th will be right here waiting to hold him accountable for any such assertions in the future.
What has happened is, the average person thinks they have to have a 3000 square ft house, have to drive a Mercedes and a BMW, a giant screen TV in every room with HD satellite, and take three vacations every year. Only problem is, they yhink they should be able to do all this while working 30 hours a week at Home Depot.
i put as much faith in a rs article about republicans, as i do a fox news article/story about democrats.
Why has the system developed this way according to you? Answer that first please. Being the highest paid people in the world is being a serf? When have people ever wanted to pay for other people's mistakes
i think his current job woes are certainly leading to some resentment. that's another thing wrong with kids these days (old man rant) is that they expect to walk into a good job immediately after graduating. it took me 4 years to find a decent job with a future after college. that doesn't mean i was unemployed, only that i wasn't making much money and didn't see much future.
looking back at this, I damn near laughed. The red herring the point he kept attributing to Republicans has the heart of the argument about min wage. He has absolutely misrepresented the argument and you bought it. Congrats, you just bested the fox news church crowd. Your take on savings relative to today's economy is awesome. Savings results in investment. Investment has been limited to fat cats because the only lenders working are hard money or equity types. Traditional lenders have been shut out of mom & pop by the Fed and its regulators. Savings are historically low because the returns suck and money is now poured into different vehicles. The system no longer funnels capital to banks who reinvest with small business owners. Banks provide no return on savings and don't lend when they do have savings. That's a systemic problem that has arisen from poor regulation, idiotic policy and bank consolidation run amok. Limited understanding of the mechanism(s) isn't helping you make this argument. Have you seen the deficit?
i've posted him at least 3 different studies showing that raising the minimum wage has never decreased poverty and that the majority of people on minimum wage are under the age of 25, most students, but he continues to tell me that those studies are invalid even though common sense would tell anyone that people who have worked for 20 years ain't making minimum wage even at burger king.
