    It's not really 4 against 1. It's just that everyone else on your side is a sturg or aces whose superficial opinions can't really hold upon examination. And then you end up having to defend against the reaction to their garbage. I can understand how that must be frustrating.

    If you eliminate minimum wage, now only are you allowing more freedom in this country (something I always think is good), but you force companies to pay each employee on how much they actually value their position.

    I do find it hilarious that folks accuse pubs and libertarians of hating poor people, all the while they are openly stating how much they hate rich people.

    I respect anyone who is willing to work for their money. That includes a bottom of the rung job from a single mother who needs every penny.

    That doesn't mean I think companies or governments should be a charity foundation for these people.

    My opinion that a minimum wage is harmful to the people it intends to help is BECAUSE I care about these people, not because I don't respect them or hold them in contempt. So I could just as easily accuse you lefties of the same thing, especially when there has been research done suggesting these laws will negatively affect those most vulnerable in the labor market.

    And my "superficial opinions" on this topic are based on my own academic background in labor economics plus the decades worth of research others have done on this subject. I guess anything that doesn't fit your worldview = superficial when you're an internet pseudointellectual.

    And I'm willing to admit that the research done on this topic is still unsettled (which is why it should be a debate, not my side is right and yih just hate the poor)...something 57 apparently disagrees with because in his reality, he has made up his mind that his side is right and they have the "proof." The height of ignorance coming from someone who loves to lob that accusation at anyone who doesn't agree with his narrow worldview.

    Weso is right ..this board is short on honest debate and long on trolling, memes, one liner gotchas, and unfounded assumptions. I guess if you can't beat em, join em. But it's really no longer worth it.

    Show me where I've said anyone hates anyone?
    Perhaps you feel that way because I show stats and circumstances that put your side of the discussion in a bad light? I will leave you and have left you to draw your own implications.

    Good luck and read information counter to your ingrained prejudices.

    Quit being a baby AA and post. Message boards aren't fun if everyone acts like children in discussions.

    I appreciate what you're saying, and I would welcome debate about the issues rather than the pretense that one's set of opinions about economics are actually immutable laws of the universe.

    I didn't intend to sidetrack the discussion (such as it was) into a pissing match about who hates whom. I do think that the use of language that cavalierly devalues or even dehumanizes a subset of people is common during these—now very frequent—discussions of income inequality, taxes/spending, etc. I also think that it is a legitimate ancillary issue, but I'm not attempting to raise it in lieu of discussing the topic.

    I don't know if you're still mad at me because I liked that Lord of the Rings .gif that bdawg posted, if you are, I think it was silly to be upset at me to begin with.

    Don't know why you're on some protest. Just because I'm the Site Owner, that means I can't laugh at someone's post? Because I "liked" it, that automatically means I endorse it and can't laugh at it at face value? I try to be as neutral and fair on the main board as anyone (maybe not here in this politics forum because we all have real life personal views that conflict), but I'm not immune to funny stuff on the internet.

    He might be right, but it hardly comes exclusively from one "side" of these discussions, as he seems to imply.
