America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

Teddy,
At 45 posts, you have now lasted more than four hours. You should seek medical attention.

There already is a minimum wage.
Raising it to an arbitrary point in order to predict if someone could "live" on it serves no purpose other than to harm business, reduce man power, and disincentivize learning a skill.
Oh, almost forgot: it would also make bleeding hearts feel good all over.

white guys fighting about which party is better for Blacks in America.

Get over yourselves.

Right, that's it! You are just never wrong, it causes me to writhe and stew in my liberal angst.....curse you TebbyBall!!!


Oh but, are you forgetting that Al Gore invented out internets?
And remember, Nixon played on your team......

Ahhh the gypsy curse.

Nixon played on my team? that is what you got?

Your party is still the party of slavery and add to it, now they are the party of anti semites.

Nixon was a great ally to Isreal..look what you have now.

Bunch of Palestinian apologists.

The anti semites party with a Jewish cantidate in the top 2 .

Your party started the income tax system.

The only trickle-down was the wealthy pissing down the back of the working class.

Hillary actually is a Republican she's lying about her policies and has been and still is bought by Wall street. If she wins the nomination all the Republicans need to do is not run a complete idiot to win . So far Donald Trump would be the Republicans choice kind of shows how smart the Republicans are .

Nixon was antisemitic among his many faults. I thought Bewha was white, but he looked a bit dark on Cape Cod.

Ok, so I do have red hair.
It's still profiling......

I taped the debate but haven't watched yet

I hear it was a contest to see who could give away more "free" stuff

I could just be acting white.
In my spare time.

Would you like me to post a tuna casserole recipe?

So, in your "world of economics".. you hike the min wage to $15, causing those with lower skills to either not be hired, or be replaced with automation and on top of that, the bad companies raise prices on their goods and wack the consumer again.

So the lower tier of our economic system gets nailed twice with your method. ( I am not using "class" as that is a Marxist term and there is not a caste system in the U.S.)


Your are a perfect mouthpiece for the left.

Typical lib call for gun control but not for yourself. Can't have it both ways.

Reminds me of the $15 per hour groups in Seattle that were looking for temp employees but were only offering to pay them minimum wage.

Of course all lives matter, but the question was about black lives and he answered the question specifically. You seem to be just looking for something to complain about.

automation creates jobs.

recycling has created tons of jobs.

changes can be opportunities...especially in our land of entrepreneurs.

Look at all those jobs

And when workers make more money they have more money to spend, creating demand for more products leading to a growing economy.

Nobody wants corporate tax breaks, but we all b*tch and moan when corporation move overseas for the lower tax rates.

The only obvious solution is to move towards higher import tariffs, even at the risk of being viewed as isolationists.

You're right!
Let's raise the wages to $75/hour!
Think of the spending they'll do.

Tailgater, I disagree with you here.

Many economists say we tax our businesses too much. We one of the few, if not the only country that taxes our companies abroad that would bring money into the U.S. They get taxed abroad and then taxed again if they bring that money back- so they don't do it.

If we lower the barriers on companies, they will invest it here, keep businesses here, etc. I am not talking about corporate welfare, where the government gives them money ( hello Solyndra) to do business.
Businesses just don't stuff money under mattresses, they invest, expand, create more jobs when more money is freed up.
Could you imagine the economic boom if we let companies bring that money back with no massive tax penalties?

Tariffs are not the answer. Massive tariffs from the Smoot-Hawley helped catapult the U.S. into the great depression. Other countries retaliated with their own tariffs and world trade plummeted by 60+% 2 yrs after this tariff act, the unemployment rate was 25%.

TBG,
Companies move their operations overseas for one of two reasons:
1. To support an overseas customer base
2. To save money while supporting North American sales.

It's bad PR to move abroad nowadays. But companies do it because it is the most cost effective solution in a competitive worldwide market.
How many Tens of Billions of dollars is our trade deficit?
We cry about the shrinking middle class, but where will they work when we move all operations abroad?

If we can balance the trade deficit and keep more jobs here it can only help the middle class.

When even our government and military is bidding out jobs overseas (Airbus anyone?) we are creating an economic avalanche that can only get worse.
We've accepted for decades the many countries who tax our goods coming onto their shores at a much higher rate than we tax theirs coming here.

It's time to reshift the balance in our favor.

Truth.

I agree. We need to boycott companies that move their operations overseas. Yet the front running republican clown has hats that say "make America great again" that are made in China and his signature suits are made in Mexico.

LOL

Somebody had to do it...

New Balance for me too!
