I merely pointed out his post about "saving" money didn't save any money. So I was doing exactly what you demand, showing his argument was NOT factual. You seemed to have failed your own "test"

But it does save money because those people would not be on the government programs.

Don't bother. He objects to 'free stuff' and he objects to paying people. I think Red just wants poor people to know their place and not get uppity.

How many times a day do you call anyone who disagrees with you a racist? You are extremely dishonest. Possibly retarded. Does someone pay you to post this nonsense?

yeah, no one should be called racist just because they think obama is a kenyan muslim homo who founded ISIS. you poor persecuted thing.

Eric Garner wasn't killed for selling loosies. He was killed for being a fat blob with a weak heart who wasn't paying NYC taxes on the orders of a Democrat mayor.

you forgot all about the illegal chokehold.

but i'm sure you're just happy to see a black man dead.

You can look at all of my post and see I don't throw the racist card into my conversations unless warranted, in reality the cop who killed E.G. Laughed afterwards.

He may have had a weak heart, many folks do, but being put into an illegal choke hold caused the heart attack.

not to mention selling loosies is not even an arrestable offense, hence no reason to try to arrest the guy.

Minimum wage laws discriminate against individuals rights to make their own agreements and use threats of offensive violence against people who violate them.

They also cause unintended consequences which harm the people they purport to help.

But, please, let's not let facts get in the way of this discussion.

they don't harm the people they purport to help. every time wages go up, they go up at a faster rate than inflation does, meaning a net benefit to the worker, and not harm. this is demonstrable through a quick examination of goods listed on the BLS survey and comparing it to wages over time.

so i can see why you don't want facts getting in the way of your rhetoric and propaganda.

racist pedo.

you accused me of racism

we start out slow, with accusations. but those are not really needed at this point. to call you a racist is just a factual statement.

SO in the end the result would be a ton of people on unemployment

there is zero correlation between the minimum wage and unemployment.

seattle's minimum wage keeps going up and their unemployment keeps going down.

try to at least not outright lie. only idiotic losers do that.

Dont believe in the laws of economics in capitalist society i see. No use arguing with you. When you increase price demand drops, this is simple and a FACT, hard to deny it. Maybe dont troll a weed message board ALL DAY EVERY DAY and read a book?

Gosh, more people with money to spend means a better economy?

Raise the minimum wage to $10 in the south and many people will lose their job. One price doesn't fit all in this nation, its too large and economically diverse, and must be determined on a smaller scale. The minimum wage in San Francisco is $16 if i remember correctly, which is still not a living wage, while $15 is a decent job in Mississippi.

Whats wrong nationwide? I'll move from SF to Atlanta if thats where the american dream is, problem solved.

haha its funny how he takes 2 things that corrolate and makes a conclusion from that. Seattle must have a strong economy right now, but to say that is due to the fact that they have increased the minimum wage is a stretch at best, calling me a liar then spewing bullshit. Hahahahah get a life

Yet you remain wrong, trapped in your tower of beliefs and propaganda, unable to see, assimilate, understand or act on factual data.

I pity your kind, for you're trapped in your own prison of useless ideology.

You'd be amazed what we know. You might try it sometime, but it only works if you have an open mind.

You've already failed the facts vs beliefs test, so I don't expect much from you.
