What ever happened to education. Go to college, pick a degree relevant to the jobs of your area or surrounding area. Then you wont have to worry about minimum wage. I believe raising the minimum wage will be a band aid to a gushing wound, it will help for a brief moment. Then we will be back to people bitching about how they can barely survive off of minimum wage in a few years once merchandise balances out to the hike. Not to mention are we not loosing enough jobs to other countries as it is.

Education isn't the ticket when the game is rigged. I think many people badly underestimate the benefits of a strong and prosperous middle class, ESPECIALLY at the expense of the plutocrats... because this country is supposed to be a fucking democracy, not a plutocracy.

True this is a country ruled by the rich and I would figure the minimum wage proposition would be against their agenda. Unless they like jobs going overseas, think about it as it is we are losing jobs overseas imagine when/if a 15$ minimum wage is established. Those china sweat shops are really going to be cranking then. If we keep raising our minimum wage there will be far to little profit margin compared to other countries to make it a logical reason to keep facilities here other than that rare "Made in U.S.A." sticker.

Well, we could sure start by eliminating the current structure of subsidies and incentives for corporations to offshore. That kind of shit just boggles the mind in its misguidedness.

I'm not all too familiar with those incentives, would you mind throwing a link to a site that best describes those nasty incentives.

That's an excellent idea. Why stop there though ?

If a corporation is really just a shell for people, it would seem NO forced subsidization of ANY person, including corporations. would be more consistent and rational.

Well, you can say any idiotic thing that you want.

It appears to other members that you do that regularly.

I'm 62 years old, and Uncle Buck is half my age. Since you've been here 7 years, I'd think that you would know that, but simple observation is obviously not in your realm of ability.

On the very contrary.

Simple obvious observations:
-UncleBuck is above the rules, a coward with the debating skills of a stormfront member trolling up the site, spreading hate, dividing a community as the extremist he is. A rotten apple, as anyone who ever read his posts can easily observe.

- UncleBuck and his misled brainless followers are foulmouthed degenerates puking their nastiness out over members any site owner with brain would prefer to have on his forum.

- 99% of the posts you read are in the politics forums, usually shortly before unclebuck replies to the same thread.

- You fucked up SkunkD0c's account (while already stalking him at others sites), the best grower this site has ever had, because he said "senile old cunt". Absurd, ridiculous, straight up idiocracy, and above, extremely hypocrit and butthurt. If that is inappropriate language, why are all the others saying much nastier stuff not in the discouraged group. Why is unclebuck not in that group... (Rethorical, we all know why).

Whether he is you or your retarded little brother is irrelevant, you clearly and obviously act as one, hence you should be treated as one and the same. Appearantly there are people who think a site admin/owner would let a butthurt rotten apple like unclebuck troll grow stickies, journals etc,etc... Lol... Good luck trying to silence those who speak the truth, good luck trying to limit freedom of speech as you see fit creepy extremists...

SkunkD0c speaks his mind. The truth is something altogether different. I'm not saying that fucking with peoples accounts is something to be taken lightly but I also don't think this site does that.

True I was even kind of thinking about starting a weed farm in a 3rd world country cause I could do some shit with so little money better mass produced outdoor bud than anything else in the US after legalization of course but it would be cheaper then any weed grown in the USA because grow lights are expensive and so is labor you pay $8 a day they are happy now it's over $100 a day for American labor. All hand trimmed and properly cured on large scale not to mention I could give nice Christmas bonuses. Wax and all I really think I might just go that route so much money Colorado ain't gonna have the monopoly. :)
