Do you believe Americans who work full time should earn a living wage?

[UncleBuck]

True. Now that everyone knows who you really are, might as well be honest. Good move, Adam.

i am buck adams and i approve this message.

 

[deadgro]

see, there's the problem.

you are not anywhere close to a millionaire, so when i say that i make more than you, it simply means i am not getting paid a shitty wage to do shitty work.

but if you want to see a sample of some of the wealth i married into, i will be happy to post some pics of the half a million dollar wedding i just attended on long island. it was a black tie only affair. tuxedos and gowns. 17 piece band. a dozen hors d'ouevres stations. all the free 30 year aged scotch you could shake your dick at. all at a country club where you need a quarter million annually to even be a member.

Please post the pictures.

Back to the wages...i think minimum wage shows how much the federal government wants to oppress ppl, how can u raise a country while holding ppl down? U cant but i thinks its the governments way of have a scap goat, they can blame the lower class for the problems they cant fix cuz they already fucked it up

How is guaranteeing citizens a minimum allowable wage oppression?

 

[ttystikk]

U should get payed for what ur worth and the skills u have

I agree. So why aren't we?

 

[gunnar&carey]

I agree. So why aren't we?

Cuz our bosses dont respect us enough and they are looking out for number one

Because they raise prices for living u cant afford to live on minimum wage i live in denver and average rent is 1050$ a month at full time minimum wage u can barely touch that

 

[ttystikk]

when i was 22 i was making about $20 an hour with full health benefits, 6% match on my 401k, employee stock sharing, and more.

i don't have to suck dick to sell weed either.

That was a long time ago in an economic reality far, far away, too.

Since there's no shortage of people who need a good job- and so many jobs in America we apparently have to import people to work at them- somehow I think we can afford to pay folks a bit more. If it comes out of the pockets of the corporate fatcats, well that's only one in a thousand of us, in trade for ninety percent getting a raise. I think it's a good trade, personally. Why does that one greedy fucker in a thousand get his way instead?

Only as long as they can get away with it.

here is the view of the clubhouse as you make the final turn down the secluded drive.

and here is the view from the clubhouse looking back down the drive

here is a shot i took of one of the holes you see looking out the back of the clubhouse

and here is the last shot i took of a 180 degree panorama view that you get when you walk out the back of the clubhouse

if peasants like deadgro and gunnar&carrey set goals and work real hard, my family can afford more memberships to exclusive long island country clubs like this.

It's not the government itself, it's the politicians who set its policies. Those politicians are bought and paid for by large corporate interests and their owners. Therefore, the Federal Government has become the tool- and the weapon- of Corporate America. Follow the money, it always leads to the answer.

That doesn't answer my question

Wouldn't it be a much worse situation for the worker if their employer didn't legally have to pay them a minimum wage? Like the example I used earlier, if your employer only paid you $245/week, wouldn't that be much more oppressive than $600?

This is yet another good point; it turns out that building a strong middle class means that the millionaire owners of large corporations will see their revenues and profits increase, because they'll be building and growing their own customer base.

This is fundamentally what's wrong with republican economic policy, and why a shift to the left need not be a recipe for austerity.

how much money do you think you would have to pay to see that place if you weren't invited to a wedding there?

Its no surprise that now we know your identity, you've gone from having superior ideals to having superior privilege and wealth. Classic troll behavior, needing to feel superior to everyone else.

 

[gunnar&carey]

Yes that would be worse but ur argument is open-ended of course ots better to nake more but in america we have a minimum wage period
