    Raise of Minimum Wage

    Promoting the general welfare means something different to me than what it means to you. As much as I love to debate, I don't think that anyone would appreciate this portion of the debate going further on this forum.

    Raise of Minimum Wage

    I do like this solution. I don't know how far it will get though because politicians will see this as a massive decrease in tax revenue to them, even if it is truly the same.

    Raise of Minimum Wage

    Perhaps it would be best to stop worrying about what others have, and instead, enjoy what you have. If you don't like what you have, then get a better paying job, a second job, an investment, or something else. Yes, that may take years of college education, sacrificing your day or days off, or...

    Raise of Minimum Wage

    Defense spending is provided for in the Constitution while education is not. Also, fortunately, the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights prohibits the censorship of Fox News. I can see that no amount of argument on my part will convince you to see my side of this, and the reverse is true as...

    I can't tell if you are serious or trolling any more.

    Raise of Minimum Wage

    With all due respect, I fully understand how a flat tax works. I agree, you are correct. The data shows that wealth distribution is highest in top earners, however, understand that net wealth includes debts, which the lowest % of earners has a chronic problem with in this country. People in the...

    Raise of Minimum Wage

    When is enough enough though? In 2009 the top 10% of income earners paid 70.47% of this country's income tax revenue. The top 50% paid 97.75% of taxes. That means that half of this country's workers paid for only 2.25% of all income tax revenue. Don't you think there is something wrong with...

    So what is your solution?

    Raise of Minimum Wage

    The immigrant can go to school. The "teenage parent" made their decision, but can also continue their schooling. I think that your comment about EMS just now was very offensive. Perhaps you would rethink your comment if someone close to you is alive today because of EMTs and paramedics.

    Raise of Minimum Wage

    Which is exactly how the market works. Employers do not risk their capital to get anything less than the maximum profit return, and the government imposing new minimum wage or other regulations will never change that. I forgot who said it but, "capital is a coward. It goes where it feels...

    "Ex-cuuuuuse ME!". Ever drive or walk in on something unsafe?

    My "scene safety" instincts kicked in once recently, although you would have to be pretty dumb to miss it. A little preface: My dad has been a crane operator for much of his life, so I hear about stupid stuff that happens with object lifts all the time. So basically, I was driving through town...

    EMT-B Recertification

    I'm signed up for the recert course at Crafton for this upcoming semester. I can't believe that it has been nearly two years since I was certified. It makes me all the more determined to get a job this time around. I just noticed that your signature is a quote by me. I feel so important now. :D
