[sturg33]

So I see this meme making the rounds

https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfl1/v/t1.0-9/12799438_1265894283421547_7083287834073710725_n.jp g?oh=de1d9906342f2c9ed981be896513677a&oe=575DA5E4

Here's the evasion in this meme: nothing is stopping you right now from giving money to a needy family. No one will stop you from giving a sandwich to a homeless man. You do not need welfare laws to do any of that on your own initiative.

When you're talking about tax dollars, you're talking about money extracted from people at gunpoint. If you don't pay these taxes, armed men come after you. What you're really saying is that if *other people* don't want to pay for others, you want the government to send armed men after them. Then you pat yourself on the back for being so generous. You congratulate yourself for generosity when you ask that the State extort money from *other people* against their consent.

He took money from SF and never gave it back. That would be a big story if he ever got far in the nomination process.

Well relevant to one who actually admits it, I can think of at least two others who are just like her (and him for that matter) they just hide their forked tongues and fangs a little better.

Oh and to be honest Ayn was pretty darn popular in this very forum not that long ago, if you'll remember. I'm a bit surprised you haven't caught any flack about posting this to be honest.

Yes I know, so was I. I was just making the point that he is that way, but he admits it, IMO his closest opponent on the R side as well as his likely opponent in November are too they just don't admit it.

Bernie Sanders would be killing her in the polls and liberals would be well on their way to rejecting her if she didn't have big media and Wall Street controlling the narrative in her favor.

Sorry they do, my dad and brother called him everything except Uncle Tom like me.

Funny when I bring up abortion /gay rights (I think they should be married but not in a church unless they allow it and can't force them or force a business do things against their faith like they do for Muslims. The black association for preachers in Illinois forbid those two until they were paid off to accept it while pinching their noses.

You have to remember, blacks are Conservative (more Bible thumpers than white, heck my dad wanted to go to a Catholic church so he can go to church) but don't like the rich white people for trying to take things away. This is why my parents will NEVER vote Republican. They want the bennies to come in because they think that schools and lack of discipline is killing our race (methinks white people still owe us something), drop outs, pregnancies and what not and they won't do anything about it.

When I raise the point that Democrats done this they deny it. My mom was a teacher and retired as one and she said the Republicans denied money to help black and white students (trailer trash) be more acceptable for society.

What the F*CK>???????

They've watched my kids for two weeks driving 10 hours from Kentucky border but we never got into a fight about politics. I told them I voted for Bernie because Hillary is a felon, Don is an Obama, a circus clown, Cruz is a snake oil salesman. Bernie crazy notions of free schit ain't going to happen but at least he is the honest one of the bunch.

There you have it, I do vote Democrat for president.
And I will not vote for Walker as governor, he is too stupid to have a conversation with and I have with him personally. Ryan is about 10 times more intelligent than him after speaking with him.

Right now taxpayers subsidize businesses which do not pay their workers a livable wage. This subsidy comprises health-care, food-stamps, rental subsidies, transportation grants and the like. If businesses claim they cannot afford true labor costs, they should close down, raise prices to cover labor costs or publicly acknowledge their thanks to the taxpayer for their subsidies. I


and the comments go on and on. These are not Bernie people but Forbes readers,
You really need to read and be aware of articles and links you provide instead of finding a headline ou think tells the story and running with it.

[cajunrevenge]

If your 30 and cant get anything better than a minimum wage job then your either lazy, stupid, or just an asshole. The other thing to me is that the government is not subsidizing these buisnesses not paying their employees enough they are subsidizing the mistakes that people make that cause them great expense like having kids. If you work for wal mart and have 4 kids is it wal marts fault you have 4 kids? I;ve worked **** jobs for a little over minimum wage my whole life and I live well enough because I dont have 12 kids to feed. Living in Texas I see a ****load of mexicans who for **** pay and make do. They might have to walk 2 miles to and from work every day because they cant afford a car. They might live 6 to a 1 bedroom apartment but they do what they have to do to improve their living situation.

Well sometimes you're a product of where you live. I can't vouch for anyone else, but I have never made minimum wage. My first job was only a quarter over minimum wage, after that I only worked one job under 10 an hour. Which isn't enough to live well off of, but for the most part I've made over 25K a year which is enough for one person to live OK off of, even in NJ one of the most expensive states to live in.

Honestly I don't want to see 15 dollar an hour minimum wage, it's terrible. The costs it would have on good would be insane, more importantly it would even further marginalize mom and pop stores. Big companies can always shift costs and have the cash reserves to make it happen, but small places can't.

As I explained to a Bernie lover at work, if the ****ty 14/15 year old dishwasher makes 15 an hour, what will you pay the cook with 10 years of experience? The inflation would be massive and ruin many people. There needs to be a minimum wage because it's the starting pointa nd it should go up incrementally over time, BUT it's not a living wage, it never was. It was meant to be the baseline for entering the work place.

I dont support illegal immigration because we need a way to control who goes in and out of our country but if it was up to me I would make it easier for people to immigrate legally. I used to own a mobile home moving company and there was no way to be competitive without hiring illegal immigrants as laborers. Thats not necessarily a bad thing though. It made prices cheaper to our customers.


Anyways, I dont know the immigration status of every Hispanic person I come across but the ones that grew up in Mexico are generally very hard working people. Theres nothing more American than coming to a country with nothing and working hard to build a decent life for yourself and your kids. I dont have the most sympathy for them because Mexico treates the people trying to immigrate to Mexico from Central America much worse than we do.

I got hired at my first job at 5.85 when minimum wage was 5.25. With no experience. Within a week I displayed myself competent enough to be a shift manager. That process took a few months but within 6 months already up to 9 dollars an hour. Eventually Assistant Manager on salary at 27k a year then RGM at almost 40k a year. I am not going to pretend to be the most competent or hard working person and I was high 95% of the time but these people who are so incompetent they get minimum wage they can kiss my ass.


edit - forgot the point of the story. Minimum wage was raised to 7.25 while I was a shift manager making 9 dollars and hour. I thought that was bull****. The difference in work wasnt work 1.75 an hour. The my rent gets raised 50 dollars a month. So all it did was make me poorer.

My point is that it's not really reversible as it talks about something that the right actually believes. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think the left thinks gun free zones will keep criminals with guns out, but impose additional crimes for people who break said law.

I think gun free zones are dumb for the most part, again to me the correct thing is to make all gun crimes much more serious than crimes committed without a gun.
