That's just retarded man. Taxes are what paved the roads you drive on, clean the air you breathe, build the military that protects you.
Nobody ever says taxes are the answer to everything, the problem is with the Republicans who like to spend their way through life and then blame it on the Democrats. The Democrats, being the adults in this two party system, have to make tough choices in life, like raising taxes to pay for things like, ummm, the two longest wars known to man. Thanks Bush.

I believe BarryO has had it longer than Bush did, for the record. Thanks BarryO.
Now the question is were the people of Iraq better off when bush left or after six years of BarryO playing commander and chief? Answer that before blaming bush anymore.

Well London I will have to say we agree on something else. I truly do believe that. good one. and I will go push your like button for the very first time.
Yep, and Libya was better off with Gadhafi and Syria is better off with Assad.
For some reason we cant seem to learn our lesson though and keep doing the same thing...
I guess when all of our elected officials are invested in the companies that profit from dropping bombs on warehouses we will continue dropping bombs on warehouses.

So if I shoot you in the face, you survive the initial blast, and are sent to the hospital and you die on the operating table, it's the doctors fault you died?

You know that you were the one that pulled the trigger so the way things work, you are the one that did the killing. Doctors really only try to save lives. But you all ready knew that. try again.So if I shoot you in the face, you survive the initial blast, and are sent to the hospital and you die on the operating table, it's the doctors fault you died?

Thats true, he was commander and chief, and so is BarryO. The only difference is BarryO's seems to do things that make him look like he is on the wrong side when he plays. And Bush acted more like a commander and chief when he played.
Just ask a military guy what he thinks about the swap for a runner, And let me know what you find out. Oh and the military guy can't be london.

There are some E.U. countries which have NO minimum wage laws.
It is helpful to compare and contrast:
There are seven European Union (E.U.) countries in which no minimum wage is mandated (Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, and Sweden). If we compare the levels of unemployment in these countries with E.U. countries that impose a minimum wage, the results are clear. A minimum wage leads to higher levels of unemployment. In the 21 countries with a minimum wage, the average country has an unemployment rate of 11.8%. Whereas, the average unemployment rate in the seven countries without mandated minimum wages is about one third lower — at 7.9%.

The very simple concept of freedom seems to elude those who wish to dictate what wage a free human being should be allowed to accept. A truly free individual should be able to choose what is acceptable for his labor.
So much for freedom.
And here is a piece by the illustrious Thomas Sowell;
http://www.creators.com/conservative/thomas-sowell/minimum-wage-madness.html
Most nations today have minimum wage laws, but they have not always had them. Unemployment rates have been very much lower in places and times when there were no minimum wage laws.
Switzerland is one of the few modern nations without a minimum wage law. In 2003, "The Economist" magazine reported: "Switzerland's unemployment neared a five-year high of 3.9 percent in February." In February of this year, Switzerland's unemployment rate was 3.1 percent. A recent issue of "The Economist" showed Switzerland's unemployment rate as 2.1 percent.

At first Barry looked like he was on the Sunnis side, now it seems like he is a Shiite puppet. Its hard to
tell sometimes which side he is on but it's not the US side.

Raising the minimum wage will simply accelerate the coming of the robots.
Freedom!!
...............................................................................................................................
Japan’s Kura sushi restaurant chain has already successfully pioneered an automation strategy. In the chain’s 262 restaurants, robots help make the sushi while conveyor belts replace waiters. To ensure freshness, the system keeps track of how long individual sushi plates have been circulating and automatically removes those that reach their expiration time. Customers order using touch panel screens, and when they are finished dining they place the empty dishes in a slot near their table. The system automatically tabulates the bill and then cleans the plates and whisks them back to the kitchen. Rather than employing store managers at each location, Kura uses centralized facilities where managers are able to remotely monitor nearly every aspect of restaurant operations. Kura’s automation-based business model allows it to price sushi plates at just 100 yen (about $1), significantly undercutting its competitors.
Robots are coming for your job: Amazon, McDonald’s and the next wave of dangerous capitalist “disruption”

I didn't realize the price of apples in Vermont is directly correlated to the earthquake in Chile. Who woulda' thunk. But seriously though. These statistics are interesting and potentially could explain, but most certainly are not directly correlated.There are some E.U. countries which have NO minimum wage laws.

Let's look at Switzerland, a socialist country, by any means of the definition. Switzerland has a population of roughly 8.2 million, which is slightly smaller than the population of New York City. It's GDP is roughly $690 billion, or about 16 trillion short of the United States 16.8 trillion GDP. It's current unemployment rate is 3.4%, not 2.1% as you falsely claimed. United States unemployment is at 5.5%. If we were to compare apples to oranges, I'd say United States is better off, being that we have more people in New York City alone, never mind the other 360+ million, and produce 20x GDP as does Switzerland. Having 1.9% higher unemployment ain't too shabby.

As Saddam chained and brutalized children in torture chambers and threw innocent folks off 2 story buildings to their death. Built opulent mansions with every kind of comforts known to man, on the backs of his tax paying servants. Then there was the use of weapons of mass destruction killing thousands of his own, the Kurds.
Yeah, nice guy that Saddam was. Enough so that he was tried and hung by his own kind.
Bush was right......Obama runs.

Bullshit. If so, there would be thousands of businesses shut down by the IRS and taken to court.
I guess if you're digging ditches you might find some sap that doesn't report wages. Forget any bennies though.
