I.E Fail to rebut anything he posts and ignore our history.Everything targeted at the bottom works its way to the top. It's time for wage increases targeted at the very bottom. That is the one thing that will jump start this economy the fastest.
Tax Cuts For The Poor And Middle Class -- Not The Rich -- Create Jobs Research Shows
-Base Federal tax for corporations at 30% of revenue.
-Raise minimum wage to $23.50/hr. Based on where minimum wage should be using 1970-2013 rise in food, shelter, and transportation.
-Eliminate all business subsidies (deductions/write-offs/write-downs) except for employee expenses which are deducted dollar-for-dollar on all city, state, and Federal taxes and fees with the Feds refunding city, State, and fees.
-Companies with 400 employees or less, employee expenses above the deduction are subsidized at 100% with funds usually give back to the States.
-Adjust Social Security and private/public retirement and pension payments using 1970-2015 price structure.
-Remove the FICA limit.
-Back down ALL costs, prices, fees, to January 1, 2009 levels and hold them for 10 years which will eliminate inflation.
-Recall ALL off-shore investments tax free, and disallow any further off-shore investments.
-Make inversion illegal.
i.e. bankrupt the country so your glorious comrades can usher in the New Soviet Person in America.
Great idea.....
But that's what we need in this country, why should teachers make more than any teenager just in off the street bagging at the local grocer?It's completely valid.-Raise minimum wage to $23.50/hr. Based on where minimum wage should be using 1970-2013 rise in food, shelter, and transportation.
Non starter
It might be valid but if you think anyone is even going to consider raising the mw from $8 to $23 in one leap. You're going to be disappointed
Do you always have to create a character profile of imaginary people to be against something?
"teenager"..."just off the street"...."bagging groceries"
When in fact the MAJORITY of MW workers are on average 30 years old.
If you are over 30 and all you are qualified for is a MW job (and you aren't special needs, and most of those can also make over MW) then you more than likely have made some very poor life decisions. So obviously you should be rewarded with pay worth more than the added value you create due to your labor...
