Yes, it helps if companies would pay their employee's in the ways in which they should be paid as according to the market place in which it's all being operated in, but the employer has to be the kind of employer to freely do this in an ethical and righteous manor. They should try and do this as a people who are good & fair in this way, and without being forced to. The best way to deal with bad apples, is to boycott their products or their businesses, and that shouldn't be hard to do. Why don't people do this ? Are these people so insulated that they can't be touched or is it that people are to lazy to change things in this way ? I guess again what they do is just leave it to the government to attempt their bidding in this way, even though the government is in bed with these companies more so than people think that they are. The best thing is for the people to boycott businesses that are bad, and change the landscape in this way than to expect the government to do it for them.Exactly, and now apply your concepts to the government in the same ways of thinking that you have, and we should be getting the same results that you are, but the government couldn't manage thinking like that if it tried to anymore, because it is in a constant struggle always against being led around by the nose by the wrong people. It appears that the wrong people are winning the prize these days (control of our government and the nation also through this control). The problem today is that the wrong people are leading it around by it's nose, and telling it what to do and who to do it to. We are all being abused by this now, so how do the right people take back the government is what this nation needs to wonder about and soon plan to do. People know what is right, but I think monopolizing corporations big part in all of this has made our government vulnerable also, because it has affectively separated it from we the people in that way, and so when you see the government being over generous in certain ways over a feel good issue (or) on programs that it picks to be sensitive upon, it usually does this to show the nation that look we are still the government in which you expect us to be, even though it is not that government we think that it is any longer.
When conservatives, like me, look at these programs our response is, well duh you can't solve poverty by having a guy in DC send out checks. Hand-ups are best done by people who care about and/or at least have an incentive to monitor and mange the person's progress. Hand-ups require "local" management, not remote management.
Take FHA loans, the DC approach to housing is to hand-out loans to everyone. The Habitat approach is to carefully select and manage help to turn deserving families around.
The liberal approach is to just "solve" problems by throwing other people's money at it. Every weather event.. throw a large sum at it to "solve" the problem. Never do we think, maybe they should have to pay for their poor choice to live in a flood plain. Instead, we bail them out rebuild and they get flooded out again, and again, and again, and ... Refuse to fork over what seems to be an undue amount of money, and you get accused of tossing grandma off the cliff.
Do you agree that the only way to get from here to what you want is a living wage paying job for everyone who wants one?
