"at your age" I dont know why people keep brining up my age, who cares how old I am, that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. [/ QUOTE ] Thinking about it, I agree, your age is not germane. Frank |

Re: all minimum wage laws should be abolished
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] They did show results, the whole trickle down theory works, the governemnt racked in more revenue even with those 850 million dollar tax cuts (I believe that was the number) [/ QUOTE ] The rebates had nothing to do with trickle down. No offense to you, Fishhooks, but it sounds like you are just piecing together little economic snippets that you have learned over the years. The point you are trying to make is incomprehensible in over half of your posts. [/ QUOTE ] It has everything to do with trickle down economics, and how that fuels the growth and spending and doesn't just go to the pockets of the "rich" people. Many of the tax cuts were for the "rich" not all but a lot of it was. The only tax cuts that the middle class recieved from my understanding is 500 more tax credits per child and each household recieved 2,000 in tax credits under certain brackets, the rest of the 850 million dollar tax cut whet to the rich. Since the government has gained more revenue even with these tax cuts proves trickle down economics to an extent. That the money is being trickled down by growning companies and going into the pockets of middle and lower class families and thats why spending is up even despite the intrest rake heights. Tell me please how this has nothing to do with trickle down economics. |

Re: all minimum wage laws should be abolished
Many of the jobs you mentioned dont even pay minimum wage, even burger flipers are making 6-7 dollars an hour. The immigrants proboly do make minimum wage and they can't even speak english, do you think their worth that much, I dont if their selling buritos and cant speak english. Your complaining about our data not being shown, where is yours. My opinion on data is that it just depends on the source, liberal and conservative sources will give you two totally different analysis and they both say their data is "fair".

The middle class got much more than that. The 10% bracket was added for example, and the marginal tax rates were decreased as well. The top one came down from 39.6%, for example. |

Re: all minimum wage laws should be abolished
Unemployment rate is probably actually 10-15%
That 5% is NOT including people who DON'T or NO LONGER get unemployment payments, it's a lot higher than that BS 5 or 6% they continuously quote. Also, let's see 82% of ppl are not happy with their jobs. Also, let's see 1/3 of people working are still in poverty? Oh, and finally some of these corporate fat cats are getting jail time, golden parachutes are what we need outlawed. >TW< |

I've found my favorite liberal target, boy is this guy crazy, when you give information post your sources. The information is only as good as its sources.

I don't believe in this supply side stuff that I think you subscribe to, but I do believe that it is immoral for any more than what's necessary. |
