Bill Gates: Raising The Minimum Wage Destroys Jobs

One of your most ridiculous responses ever....

The problem as it exists today is one that cannot be resolved with a few well paying jobs. The problem is with 30-40 million workers who cannot earn enough to support themselves or their families.

A "few" well paying jobs? Walmart employes 1.4 million people chief. So again I ask, why don't you ever provide good paying jobs? Why do you demand other people do it? And don't you see the remarkable and despicable hypocrisy of you demanding of others what you yourself refuses to do?

Who makes up the difference? Taxpayers who foot the bill for housing, food and medical care so that employers do not have to pay a wage someone can live off of

And once again this is a case of the Dumbocrats creating the problem and then crying the loudest about it. The answer is simple - stop having government unconstitutionally providing food, housing, medical care, transportation, frivilous cell phones, etc. You support it more than anyone, and then you cry about it the most because you think it makes a case for share-the-wealth communism. All you're actually doing is proving that the policies you support are absurd!

It's YOUR TAXES that supplement the incomes of those low wage workers - whether through Medicaid, food stamps, housing, energy, etc., etc.,

in other words, the corporations have stuck you with the bill and you're too stupid to see it.

I do see it - which is why I've been calling for Dumbocrats to be removed from office. Because they are the asshats who have made you their minion, beholden to them, by subsidizing your failures.

Stop subsidizing failure (medicaid, food stamps, housing, energy, etc.) and the problem goes away!

What have you got now junior? Come on - I'm waiting here...
 
Why Microsoft Should Fire Bill Gates, Too

If anyone was wondering about Bill Gates brilliance read this.

He built a multi-billion dollar Fortune 500 dynasty. What have you done besides sit on your lazy ass calling for conservatives to acquiesce to liberals in your quest to further progressive views? :eusa_doh:

One OPINION piece by an idiot and you want to declare that as "fact" while ignoring the iconic company that Bill Gates built. Amazing.... You are such a prototypical liberal.

The title is certainly opinion but the contents are fact. But im sure your mutual "friend" of yourself & Gates says otheewise huh?

And, uh, where did I say that my friend was a "friend" of Gates? I said he WORKED for him. Never said they were "friends" (quite the contrary).

You're proving once again that you're incapable of dealing in facts. You're a typical liberal. Keep up the false narrative junior (not to mention the unhinged ranting). It's doing wonders for you right now... :)
 
Raise minimum wage or not MACHINES are going to replace those workers (and most of YOU, too) sooner rather than later.
 
Yes Rottweiler, I'm a liberal lol

I hope you don't consider yourself a good judge of character.

It's too funny that you're touting the words of a HUGE liberal (gates) simply because he said one thing you liked. It never occured to you that he simply doesn't want to take the financial hit a minimum wage increase would likely cost him.
He is right about minimum wage but it doesn't take a ceo to figure that out and that was my point all along.
I'm sure as soon as he spouts his typical liberal nonsense you will then distance yourself from him as the convenience of using him for your argument will be gone.

The country's not going to do that. Normal Americans have compassion, they're not addlebrained sociopaths like you.

Get rid of the safety net AND keep the minimum wage low and all you'll do is bring third world poverty to America.

Bingo! Now you're thinking junior! Just like ALL other business owners. None of them want the additional cost and they will NOT accept them. They will pass on the cost to the consumer, which will cause the price of everything to increase, which will mean the minimum wage worker will be unable to afford it - putting them right back to where they are now. So who really gets screwed? The middle class. They didn't get a big bump like the minimum wage worker, and yet the cost of everything went up for them.

And by the way, the fact that you're losing your mind over Gates being a liberal indicates you are a partisan hack. Yes, I disagree with about 90% of the things that Gates says. But on this issue, he is 100% right. And I will stand with, and defend, anyone when they are right on an issue. Because I'm not a partisan hack.
 
So the question which you and your fellow Dumbocrats refuse to answer is: why don't you provide good paying jobs?

Build your own Walmart and pay everyone $75,000 per year. What is the problem here? Help me to understand.
Because average working people need the capital to invest in the first place, and dozens of trillions of dollars are being hoarded by a few thousand people on Earth. The richest 85 people on this planet have as much money as the poorest half of the world population. That's why everyone can't go into business for themselves- because they don't have any money.

Apple is the largest company in the U.S. right now. It was built out of Steve Jobs garage (literally).

Amazon is one of the most successful companies in the world right now. It was built out of Jeff Bezo's garage (literally).

Dell became the #1 computer seller at one point. It was built out of Michael Dell's dorm room (literally).

HP is currently the #1 computer seller. It was built out of Dave Packard's garage (literally).

Facebook is one of the wealthiest corporations in the world. It was built out of the dorm room of Mark Zuckerberg (literally).

Disney is the most iconic U.S. company ever. It was built out of Walt Disney's garage (literally).

Google is one of the wealthiest companies in the world right now. It was built out of Susan Wojcicki’s garage (literally).

Woud you like to try again junior? Maybe this time grow up and have a mature discussion? Maybe stop throwing yourself such a pity-party and falsely claiming that only people with billions in capital build successful businesses? The greatest corporations in US history (including Harley) were ALL built out of garages with no money: Microsoft, Google, Apple, Disney, Amazon, Harley, and on and on and on...

10 World Famous Companies that Started in Garages

With the exception of Disney, the others are virtual companies and did not exactly become incredible overnight successes.
In fact, Amazon spent years on the verge of bankruptcy, Dell and HP, when handed over to "professionals", went into the toilet.
Google was funded by massive grants.

And most importantly, for every success there are tens of thousands of failures.

And please don't compare a visionary like Jobs to a pimp hustler like Gates.

Interesting since you call me a liberal every time you don't like what I have to say... lol

What you're doing is WORSE than partisanship. You're using someone for your agenda and will quickly discard them when they're no longer good for your position. Just like you do here.

That's called SHALLOW

Bill Gates: Raising The Minimum Wage Destroys Jobs

Mr Gates is correct.

Only the ignorant fascist/socialist , aka, progressive axis fails to understand that point.

Outlawing Jobs: The Minimum Wage

In truth, there is only one way to regard a minimum wage law: it is compulsory unemployment, period. The law says: it is illegal, and therefore criminal, for anyone to hire anyone else below the level of X dollars an hour. This means, plainly and simply, that a large number of free and voluntary wage contracts are now outlawed and hence that there will be a large amount of unemployment. Remember that the minimum wage law provides no jobs; it only outlaws them; and outlawed jobs are the inevitable result.

The reason I demand other people do it is because I am not making a profit off of their labor. WalMart is

But as a taxpayer, I am subsidizing the profit WalMart makes off of substandard wages by providing subsidies for food, housing and healthcare for their workforce

America is the wealthiest nation on earth and as a society, we choose not to allow our poorest citizens to suffer

I seriously doubt that you are a taxpayer.

If you are a taxpayer , you are more than likely employed by a government agency.

But be that as it may, write a letter to Harry Reid (D-USSR) and tell him that you do not want to subsidize the profits Walmart makes.

I'll do better than that.....I'll bitch about it on a message board
 
Very good CC - you can cut & paste! :clap2:

Now how does that differ at all from my initial post? You know, since you implied it did with you "what was actually said"...

The context; "if you really start pushing it". Your absolutist statement is simply a lie.

"it does cause job destruction"

Direct (and accurate) quote from Bill Gates on raising the minimum wage. Like all liberals, you're trying to back-track now and play semantics on Gates quote. Next you will claim that we're NOT really "pushing it" unless minimum wage is $75 per hour, so a $45 per hour minimum wage is ok. As always, you're being disingenuous and you know it.

Put down the crack pipe for once.

Cost of an average yacht: $64 million

Cost of an average tv: $435

$64,000,000 x 1 = $64,000,000

$435 x 100,000 = $43,500,000

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Not very good at math, are we?

Oh - and a billionaire doesn't just buy a yacht. They buy the yacht, the insurance on it, the fuel for it, the staff for it (jobs!), the storage costs for it, the maintenance costs for it, and then they purchase the private jet, the mansion, the limo, the Lamborghini, the...well, you get the point now.

So are you ready to stop with your absurd scenarios of a hundred thousand vs the purchase of ONE item by ONE person? Ready to be a big boy and have an HONEST conversation?

Oh that's hilarious. Are you really that stupid? Forbes says the average cost of the MOST EXPENSIVE yacht is 64 million. But how many of those yachts actually exist? While TV's on the other hand. At least 200,000,000 just in this country. Times that by $500 and you get $100,000,000,000.00??

That means there would need to be around 1,500 billionaires just in this country buying 64 million dollar yachts. And we know there are only about 400 billionaires. And you can bet most don't have 64 million dollar yachts.

And that's just TV's. What about average cars? Stereo? Refrig, stove and so on. All times a couple of hundred million.

How dare you be such a stupid fuck. You need both ignorant faces slapped and slapped hard.

So let me get this straight, you're not only changing ALL of your original figures (from 100,000 people to suddenly 200 million), but you're also attacking me for simply doing the math you were too lazy (or ignorant?) to do? Really?

"How dare you be such a stupid fuck" - yeah, so stupid for taking YOUR numbers and proving mathematically that you were wrong. Don't project your fury at your own stupidity on to me junior. You created an absurd, false narrative (ONE purchase by ONE billionaire) and even playing that immature level, I beat you at your own game.

My original post: Which is better for the economy? One billionaire buying a yacht or a hundred thousand middle class people buying a TV?

I said this as an "example" because it's so fucking obvious, I thought no one was stupid enough to do what you tried and failed to do. Make an argument that trickle down works.

At that point, I actually went and looked up the number of TV's and the number of billionaires and the AVERAGE cost of the most expensive yachts in the world. And I only did that to give you that savage and most satisfying Atomic Bitch Slap that you richly deserve. The second slap was for being dense.
