A question for liberals: Washington State MW=$11 an hour, Texas MW=$7.25 an hour ..

[OKTexas]

BTW dupe, it was the commiecrats in the major metro areas that have been pushing toll roads. They promised one built in Houston would become free once it was paid for, to get the bond issue passed. Guess what, the commiecrats lied, it's been paid for multiple times and the tolls are still there and being used to build more toll roads.

You can be sure the GOP was on the wrong side on every instance...if you know the facts...

I know for a fact that the city of Houston lied their commie asses off.

The desperate measures that Fed Raygunist measures necessitate...

Nah, just commiecrats being commiecrats. It doesn't affect me, I drive the Houston toll roads for free.

They let the mobility scooters on the highways in Texas? For free?

Nope, just folks with disabled vet plates.

 

[Wyatt earp]

So why the fuck does both places pay warehouse workers $12 bucks an hour?


I thought it was supposed to be more in a pro union state high minimum wage state?

It appears that a Right to work state low minimum wage state like Texas employers are less greedy by paying $4.75 more then minimum wage, while in Washington State they only pay $1 dollar more then minimum wage...


I thought according to liberals a rising tide rises all boats?

I know that we argued about MW in Seattle at least in 3 or 4 separate threads.

The $4.75 is about shift differential for second shift --------- on top of the MW. Then you pick and choose one company --------- then compared it to the whole state. Is that fair?

Again in my thread I later posted. pick any field and compare it from state to state city to city

I really don't care I have not seen any huge difference in pay rates across state lines when you narrow it down to if your say a tool maker in Tennessee compared to a tool maker in Wisconsin... (I am excluding union jobs)



The shift differential was only $1 more in my OP..it remains the same premise.. Who was paying more then their states minimum wage.


.

I thought it was one of the key claims of the anti-minimum wager crowd that a higher minimum wage drove up labor costs all up the scale?

Not from me, that's my biggest complaint, if minimum wage goes up to $28 bucks an hour I better be getting $112 bucks an hour to keep up with my way of life.


.

Why talk about an absurdity?

Oh, wait, it's you...

It's not absurdity, it's the facts I make times four of minimum wage (not including over time and benefits).


There is no way in hell myself and millions of people like me will do what we do, if we just make $10 $15 bucks over minimum wage.

And that's not counting the others who make $15 dollars now, no point in it, people will quit and go work at Walmart , pick apples... If they just make a few bucks more then minimum wage.

There's always something with the dupes. Giveaways to the rich never a problem...

 

[initforme]

Why do some working folk condone low wages for other working folk? Superiority complex or hatred of others. Leve!s of patriotism are linked to wages. Low wage...loiw patriotism and rightfully so.

Why do some working folk condone low wages for other working folk? Superiority complex or hatred of others. Leve!s of patriotism are linked to wages. Low wage...loiw patriotism and rightfully so.

I'm convinced that every time someone 'reads into' other people all of these accusations, it's because they themselves are guilty of what they accuse others of.

I have never met someone that earned less money than me, that I thought "I am therefore superior!". That has never occurred to me.

Ironically, I have numerous times, told people on this very forum how much I make, and they respond "You only make that much, and you think we should care about your opinion??"

Of course, I'm a conservative, and the people who respond that way are ALWAYS left-wingers.

The people who have a superiority complex, and a hatred of others, are the ones on the left.

Not us on the right.

Moreover, you act like wages are something we can just magically 'demand' and they happen. Wages are a function of the value of the work. The value of the work, doesn't increase, because you demand it does.

If we raised the minimum wage to $100/hour, that doesn't mean that flipping over a McWhooper Flopper, is now a job worth $100/hour. Those jobs would cease to exist.

If those jobs ceased to exist, those people who have no other skills, or abilities, would simply be unemployed.

So in essence your question is "Why do people condone low skilled people being employed?!"

Well.... because we don't hate them and feel superior! That's why! We don't want low-skilled people to be impoverished and homeless, because you passed a law that made them unemployed.

We're better people than you, to be blunt.

My mistake, TX max sales tax is 8.25%, in unincorporated areas it's usually 6.25%.

We are taxed right out of our paychecks though in other ways.....sin tax, gas taxes are making prices just under CA (currently we pay just under $3 per gallon, but changes daily), several counties along Puget Sound area have to pay RTA (Rail Transit Authority..for that rail tunnel) that is included in our car tabs, bridge & hwy tolls and I don't know what else

Yep about all large cities have public trans taxes, and TX is getting big on toll roads and bridges, our gas here is 2.15 for regular. They built a highway flyover connecting two free roads in the Woodlands, TX and it is tolled.

Texans for Toll Free Highways Heavily Reform Toll Roads by legislation or litigation! Sign the Petition.

The legislature is considering a buy out plan, I hope it passes, but I won't hold my breath.

EVERYWHERE has high state and local taxes and fees to make up for lower fed aid, all to save the greedy idiot GOP rich from paying their fair share the last 35 years. The GOP just LOVES dividing us up, here about states. Wake up! Count ALL taxes and fees and we have a flat tax with basically ALL new wealth staying with the richest and the country slowly going to hell. "I know, a tax cut for the rich!" Enjoy, dupes...

Now wait a minute.......the GOP isn't the only ones with big pockets ya know. There's a whole lotta Democrats that have more money than they know what to do with too. Only the GOP did it the old fashioned way.........they earned it. So wake up yourself, financial prosperity however gained isn't party specific.

When you consider the cost of living those Seattle warehouse workers are getting screwed.

But but liberals will say the quality of life is better...


What warehouse worker in their right mind living in Texas making $12 bucks an hour and living in a $500 dollar a month apartment would move to Seattle to make $12 bucks an hour and live in $1,500 dollar a month apartment?



Oh so he could have a better quality of life..



LMFAO...

After this past year and especially since the election.......I have NO desire nor do I care about Democrat policy. They have all shown just how pathetic they really are

They've always raised taxes on the rich only, dupe. All that corrupt Clinton bs has been investigated and NOTHING. That's the character assassination- same with Kerry, GORE- anything to avoid policy talk. How's the lock her up bs coming, dupissimus?

You might want to rethink your statement of Democrats only raising taxes on the rich. And it seems to me the middle class got stimulus checks under a GOP President, if I'm not mistaken. Even though we were also taxed on that, but I'm not denying GOP tax increases either. Guess what?? Both sides raise taxes on middle class.

Apparently the Democratic Policies are to make promises they have no intention of fulfilling.

Obama......
Obama loads taxes on the middle class. Again. | Human Events

President Obama raised middle-class taxes and lost an election

Obama’s Plan To Help The Middle Class: Raise Their Taxes




Hillary Clinton (even though she didn't win)......

Clinton Backpedals On Promise Not To Raise Middle Class Taxes, Calls It A "Goal"

Today, Clinton Hedged On Her Previous Pledge Not To Raise Taxes On Middle-Class Americans, Instead Calling It A “Goal.” . STEPHANOPOULOS: “You’re also saying no tax increases at all for anyone earning under $250,000. Is that a rock solid read my lips promise?” CLINTON: “Well, it certainly is my goal and I’ve laid it out in this campaign and it’s something President Obama promised, it’s something my husband certainly tried to achieve, because I want Americans to know that I get it.” (Hillary Clinton, ABC’s This Week, 12/6/15)



Bill Clinton.......

Bill Clinton on Tax Reform

Reneged on promise to address "forgotten middle class" One of his most contentious disagreements with the press was his pledge early in the campaign to cut the taxes of the "forgotten" middle class--those making less than $80,000/year--by 10%. He continued to promote the idea even when he knew it was unworkable after hearing new deficit projections in August. As late as a week before Election Day, he said he would "absolutely not" consider postponing the tax cut. But afterward, when reporters pressed him at a news conference, he unwisely flashed his anger, claiming that "the press thought the most important issue in the race was the middle-class tax cut. I never did meet any voter who thought that." Reporters rebuked his coverage to aides, some of whom began calling NBC the "Nail Bill Clinton" network.

OpEd: Broke campaign promise by tax rise & no spending cuts
Tim Penny was a Democrat from Minnesota whose frustration with Washington politics reached a tipping point when Pres. Clinton proposed a big tax increase with few spending cuts, going against his own campaign promise. Tim had enough with empty Washingto Tim's response to Bill Clinton's about-face actually cost the good people back home, but very quickly Tim took on a kind of folk-hero status--in Congress, in Minnesota, and across this great land. His stature grew enormously, simply because he took a stand. He was disillusioned with Clinton's plan, and with a political system that seemed bound to support it; more to the point, he didn't like how Clinton promised one thing and then went out and did another, so he stood against it.



Besides........what does all this (including Clinton crimes) have to do with the OP????? Let's get back on track here.

Washington state has been a Democratic safe haven for the last several cycles, and we are taxed on nearly everything.

1. At or near 10% sales tax on everything except food and online purchases (yet, they have been considering this)

2. Pot is legal and now regulated by the state and subject to the 'sin' tax just like tobacco, alcohol, etc (pot has become their new cash cow)

3. Tolls on certain bridges and HOV lanes. If you're a regular commuter you have to pay it daily, that adds up to quite the chunk of fund$

4. Car tab fees.....A few years ago Tim Eyman managed to get our excise tax (one of the top 5 highest in the country) dropped and we were supposed to only pay $30. We have never paid only $30, because the state instituted other 'fees'/taxes/costs that even with an old (20-30 yo) vehicle now costs around $100 or more.....that before would have only been $20. New car owners have seen the greatest benefit, since theirs would have been around $1000 to $1500 per year previously. King, Pierce, Snohomish counties have to pay RTA tax on their tabs. That includes everyone in those counties....even though 75% of the population would never use the damn thing even though we have to pay for it.

6. Gas taxes... we are #2 in the nation, right behind PA

7.Property taxes...we are #23..somewhere in the middle at .92%...not the worse, but not the best either

8. Camping/park use fees-we've had these for a few years now (10+?), but there are many parks that now have fees/permit requirements that we didn't have previously (less than 5 years, I think)

and that's all I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure there is plenty more.


In the last 20 years since we've bought our house, we were doing pretty good. After the kids were born & I stayed home (astronomical daycare costs), going from 2 paychecks to 1, things were tight but workable. Every year since, overall costs have increased, income flattened and became impossible to pinch those pennies any tighter, it became necessary to return to the workforce. Early on was able to bring my kids with (childcare & other odd jobs that made it possible) to supplement our finances that helped to balance out. Costs continued to rise to the point I had to go elsewhere to get enough hours. Our combined income of $30+ an hour was JUST enough to get by & put a small amount aside for savings......and we don't live large by any means. Older home, used cars, no active credit cards, rarely any type of 'outtings'. Our lifestyle hasn't changed much in those 20 years, but the costs and income necessary to maintain what most would consider 'survival mode' have.
So don't be telling me that Democrats (whether Federal or State) are looking out for my best interests & going to help me cause I haven't seen it yet.


Now.....I invite you to contribute some factual content based on the OP....that has more to do with the income vs cost of living between Texas and Washington state

 

[francoHFW]

They ALL earned it to the same degree, dingbat dupe, the only difference is that rich Dems want to raise their own taxes for the good of the country, aren't greedy shortsighted a-holes always trying to screw their workers and the environment DUHHH- AND brainwashing the rubes with bs propaganda.

You actually believe that and you call me a dingbat dupe???

I'll get back to ya......when I can breathe again.

What's the problem, dupe. You don't know Dem policy? Shocking lol- Just the bs character assassination you people know...

They raise taxes on the working class so they can fund their interests......and that has very damn little to do with 'the good of the country'. Anyone in politics is greedy whether for money &/or power.....just ask Obama or Hillary.

If the GOP would allow taxes on the ridiculously bloated and undertaxed rich, dupe, none of that would even be considered by Dems. And BULLLSHYTTE- thanks for the Pubspam propaganda, dupe.
