I can at least say Dems are not trying to take away medical rights to my own body or dictate what books I can read or classes I can take in college. I also know that Dems are also leading the charge to raise minimum wage which helps low and middle class workers. |
It literally CREATES more poor people. |
| Sure you are, Jan. |
Humor me. How? They can't get it out of Congress. |
So that is why Biden did vaccine mandates, taking away peoples medical rights? Democrats are full of crap as well, medical freedoms my ass. How about thinking ahead about how a child is made if you don't want a baby. Is it really that hard? People too stupid to understand that rising minimum wage causes the prices of everything to go up are the only ones asking for it. Example 1: Fast food worker, makes $10 an hour burger is at $5. Wage is now $15 and burger becomes $8. You could have had two burgers in 1 hour of work but now you can't. Example 2: AC business' charges $100 per service call. The secretary was making $13 but will now make $15. AC business now will charge $130 per service call. Whenever minimum wage increases the prices of goods increase. You will never catch up and then other people near closer to minimum wage gap get hurt the worst. Why do you need to work a minimum wage job to begin with? Most of these were for people going to college or high school students. If you want a degree get something that will make money such as engineering. An underwater basket weaving degree will only leave you with student loans you can't pay back. If you don't want to go to college pick up a trade like working on A/C units or similar. Many make more than a college student once trained and don't have any student loan debt. |
NP. I’m pretty sure it’s the typical DCUM poster who’s clueless. Lucky in life, but absolutely clueless. |
NP. PP, you’re the one with the tired argument. The Democrats are an obvious charade, a small insular group that plays on fears and accomplishes nothing to keep their grift going. |
Sorry but outlawing abortion is clueless. And impossible. |
Lots of things create poor people and the Democrats have minimal interest in actually dealing with those issues. But the love to fundraise by fear-mongering about the tense cultural issues, while never putting together a program to fundamentally change things. It’s a grift! |
You’re free to your opinion, but I am pretty sure I can see some bad judgment/over-reaction in your response. Lots of crappy politics out there! |
The republicans are going to go down over their abortion nonsense and they bought in on all by themselves. |
Biden never did "vaccine mandates." There are still millions of people running around unvaccinated that are breaking absolutely zero laws. I assume you're talking about the requirement for federal employees to get vaccinated which was a private matter between an employer and employees. (Which strangely Republicans love until it's a matter that affects them...) Every single employee was still free to remain unvaccinated again, without breaking any laws whatsoever, they just weren't free to remain in their job.
First of all, in your own example the fast food worker experienced a net benefit of $3. Your second example makes absolutely zero sense unless the AC business employs only one AC tech and their average service call lasts 15 hours. Second, your examples are ludicrously, absurdly wrong. Actual studies by economists have shown that on average, raising the minimum wage to $15 would increase fast food prices by only 4.3%. So if your example was based anywhere near reality, that $5 burger would increase to a whopping price of...$5.22. The horror! https://okpolicy.org/the-cheeseburger-economics-of-the-minimum-wage/
Why do you need to work a minimum wage job to begin with? Nobody WANTS to work a minimum wage job, but somebody has to. There simply aren't enough engineer or plumber or business executive jobs for everyone to have one, and even if there were, who would flip the burgers? This is just yet another example of uninformed right wing "feelings over facts" thinking. |
| Is OP trying to jump on the “Why I Left The Left” bandwagon? Lemme guess, you’re a fan of Jimmy Dore and Russell Brand? |
The House passed a bill codifying Roe. Please tell us which ten Republican Senators would have voted for it? |
Why won’t Democrats eliminate the filibuster so this wouldn’t be an issue? |
