Everyone get elected to a political position or get a gum't job. It seems they are the only ones keeping their heads above water. And everyone else pays for it!! (tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax,) and if the tax fails a the ballot box put in on again & again & again & again & again. I am so sick of this $&!t!!!!!!!!!! - the original northsidian Mon, 05 Dec 2011 06:16:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9457-study-a-mixed-bag-la#comment-25194 "Gee I don't suppose it would occur to you that the minimum wage is too low? No. It wouldn't." No, that wouldn't occur to me, because it would be ineffective and naive. Raising the minimum wage also raises prices, and it has no effect on the real wealth of the wage earner once the market finds its equilibrium again. Would you somehow, magically, raise minimum wage for single moms while at the same time freezing the pay of day care workers in your little utopian fantasyland? If not, then how would you address the eventuality of the day care workers' wages rising by the exact same amount that you raise the minimum wage? It's like standing in the shallow end of a pool and pushing water to the deep end. You're a pretty sorry central planner...:) No, I think personal responsiblity would work much better than government largesse and economic planning. - ragin_cajun Sun, 04 Dec 2011 19:39:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9457-study-a-mixed-bag-la#comment-25184 Minimum wage doesn't pay a car note AND daycare. Gee I don't suppose it would occur to you that the minimum wage is too low? No. It wouldn't. RC has the answers to all the world problems. Maybe if he didn't spend so much time posting on theind.com he could do something about them. - citizen Sat, 03 Dec 2011 11:17:39 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9457-study-a-mixed-bag-la#comment-25140 If Liberal advocacy groups wanted to improve the poverty rate, and have higher education levels, which would in turn decrease or eliminate the income gap between men and women AND black and white, the single most effective thing they could do is to start "advocating" for marriage instead of all the other stupid stuff they "advocate" for. If people get married, stay married, go to work and raise their kids together, then all these terrible social ills don't happen to them. On the other hand, a teenage girl gets pregnant, drops out of high school, and gets no help from the father or some grandparents, she's practically doomed to a life of poverty. Minimum wage doesn't pay a car note AND daycare. So don't get pregnant! There's pills for that, and they're free for the asking! If you do get pregnant, make sure it's with a man that's gonna stay around and pay the bills! If he runs off, then make the law track his ass down and garnish his wages! How come I've never seen advice like this on a billboard? How come Center for American Progress doesn't send an army of "activists" or "occupiers" down here to say that to all these poor uneducated southerners? - ragin_cajun Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:59:13 +0100
