. Huh ?? Yet all it takes here is to cross that southern border, get to a sanctuary City, and then quickly find that indentured servitude job that your inside contact set up for you, otherwise where as it is expected of you (an illegal) to work like a dog for little of nothing, and have no protections, and then if complain get sent packing to be replaced by the next perceived slave or cheap laborer from across that border ??

That sounds like a good reason to go after the companies that hire illegals... not the illegals themselves.

Your comment shows you know nothing about wealthy people or the economy. What do you suppose the rich do when Uncle Sam comes to take their money away--open their wallets and bank accounts freely?

And why is it you socialists are so hung-up on CEO's? Let me ask: what do you think a star actresses hair stylist or make-up person makes compared to her? What do you suppose the guy selling popcorn at the stadium makes compared to the starting pitcher at a baseball game? What do you think a roady makes compared to the guitarist in a famous band? Bet you never boycotted or complained about any of those people.

I sure as hell do... Anybody making millions and millions of dollars is not being taxed enough... I am also totally against the price of tickets for all of the above these days.

And for all of you dupes who believed that the rich are paying too much, here are the actual rates that people are paying, basically all between 18 + 29%, with the rich getting basically all the new wealth while everyone else goes to hell along with the country.

Yes we know you are brainwashed and only can think in terms of federal income taxes, are only progressive tax and now less than payroll taxes. If you don't count all taxes you are a brainwashed functional moron. Talk about sheep LOL

For 35 years the GOP has been cutting federal taxes and what happens is state and local taxes go up to make up for that. Not to mention fees and surcharges which kill the non rich, super dupe.

As you can see, the poorer you are, the more state and local taxes bite into your income. As you get richer, those taxes recede, and you're mainly getting hit be federal taxes. So that's another lesson: When you omit state and local taxes from your analysis, you're omitting the taxes that hit lower-income taxpayers hardest, super dupe.

No, it's not.

And running your corporation into the ground isn't a skill that's worth 8 figures, but we still do that.

So here's an idea. The CEO can only make a multiple of what his lowest paid employee makes.

So if the lowest paid person is only making minimum wage, the most you can pay the CEO is 50 times that.

Not the way it works.

it's none of your business what a CEO gets paid unless you own the company.

Yep, it's just Grand for the country that CEOs get paid two three four hundred times as much as average workers now when the number was 40 times when Reagan started. The only way to stop that is to have higher tax rates on the richest like before Reagan. Also it's the only way to have money to invest in tech training and cheaper education for the many jobs that go begging because America is getting dumber and dumber as the GOP makes it more and more difficult and expensive to get that training as well as money for infrastructure which is falling apart and hurting business.

Holding businesses that are created with the employment of kids & college students responsible for the poor choices people make in life is wrong.

Democracy is restricting income? That doesn't sound like democracy, that sounds like dictatorship.

Um, no, if everyone votes that the rich shouldn't be uber rich anymore, that's democracy.

The main thing that protects the rich, is that most of us don't know how rich they really are.

the above chart shows what wealth distribution actually is, what people think it is (they are wrong) and what they think it should be.

While people are hardly voting for "communism", most people think that the bottom should have a fair share and the top shouldn't have so much.

Which would be the case if government were passing out money instead of people earning it. I have no idea why leftists hate when people keep something they created. Where this concept that all money belongs to government is beyond me. WE DON'T WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT. The government works for us. And the federal government (nor the people) have the right to other people's money simply because they feel others have earned too much.

"What is YOUR fair share of what other people worked for?
Thomas Sowell

 

[Cecilie1200]

Why do you keep making welfare an employer problem instead of a government problem? Employers don't put people on welfare--government puts people on welfare. So blame the government for it.

No, Employers do put people on welfare.

Let's look at it this way. Our GDP is bout 17 Trillion. If you divided that evenly across the 170 million in the workforce, everyone would earn six figures, have a comfortable life and never, ever need to so on welfare.

Instead, we have the top 1% who have 43% of the wealth and the top 20% who have 87% of the wealth.

The ironic thing is you whine about the pittance we pay poor people to not riot, but don't complain about the 40 million retired people living high on the hog with Social Security and Medicare.

But that's white people welfare.

You do know that the top 1% don't get their money from a paycheck don't you?

And I hate to tell you this but not all skills are equal. Putting burgers and fires into paper bags is not a skill that is worth 6 figures

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If I can train my 9-year-old to do it, it ain't worth $15 an hour. Period.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Yes I have, we have a number of fast food places/home improvement/retail stores that have these kiosks/self checkouts in them. Quite simple to use, one employee overseeing the checkouts verse 4 that would have been required to man the registers.

I think it is the way of the future and we will continue to see more and more kiosks in many industries. I also think Joe is very much correct in that most people would rather deal with another person, with face to face interaction. However as the younger generation is growing, they are more apt to order over the internet, go through self check out lines and order through a kiosk. It will take time but I remember how we were told ATM machines would fail because people wouldn't trust the machine to take a deposit or give them the right amount of cash, now we have businesses depositing thousands of dollars through ATM machines.

So I believe these jobs are going away.

I deposit business checks with a simple picture of them through my phone, credit cards get swiped through a phone attachment. I don't even have to go to the bank unless I need cash, which is rarely.

I agree, some people still like the interaction, but it is going away, and its doing it without much notice or fan fare anymore.

I agree, I take pictures of checks and deposit them through my phone. You are right though very little fanfare.

I just learned that Sam's Club has an application that lets you scan your items as you shop. When you get to the register, somehow they are able to know what you scanned and how much you owe. You don't even have to take one item out of your cart.

. You gonna take that unique 666 chip in your body in order to buy and purchase your goods and services before to much longer ??????

Don't you see what's coming ??

So we should reject more technology?

I would probably get a lot more for them... IN fact, I'm probably going to up my pricing next year.

Not if the people say you shouldn't. Under your idea of capital destruction, if people think you make too much, then they should be allowed to take your money after your price increase and government should give it to them.

I can't imagine where we would be today if liberals were allowed to implement your leftist ideas. We would probably be on computers right now that were manufactured 20 years ago. We wouldn't have the internet, and if we did, we wouldn't be able to afford it. Our cell phones would probably be like the first ones where you had to carry around a car battery in order to make it work.

Liberal ideas suck. Only a liberal would think that taking rewards away from people would make things better. Reward the non-producers instead.

Nothing personal, but you don't have the experience you claim. Insofar as the temp agency issue you described, that is not true. It may have happened in one or two instances, but I've spent decades on all sides of that issue. There are many companies that the only way in the door is through the door to some companies is via a temp agency. Sometimes it takes a year or more, so you are actually an indentured servant (aka s

Oh, so I don't have the experience working as a truck driver with industry day after day with hundreds of clients. I didn't work for a temp agency myself when I was younger

Okay, you know it all. I guess we can all agree to that, can't we? You have more experience with everything than anybody here. Gotcha.

Nothing personal, but I don’t think you are paying enough attention to this thread to be engaged in it.

How could I not? You have been repeating the same shit over and over on this thread since you joined.

In many instances, a company will tell you that if you work hard, the job will become permanent. So, the temps work long hours for low pay and when the company gets caught up, the temps get laid off, the company hires another batch in a few weeks and the charade keeps going on and on.

Wrong. Some of our customers hire strictly temp workers. It's too costly to hire people, train them for weeks or months, find out they are crappy workers, lay them off, and then start all over again. It's a waste of time and money. Plus if you're talking about minorities, they can try to claim their dismissal was because of their race.

Even though labor is much more expensive through a temp agency, it's the surest way to try out workers before you hire them. And no, very few temps bust their ass at any job because the pay is usually pretty low. Plus they want to stay on their social programs so it's not worth their time to work anymore than they have to.

Dude, some people have experiences at one thing; others have experience at others.

I'm not "wrong" as you assert. Like I said, I worked with temp agencies for many years (20 +.) I've not only hired through them, but I've also worked for the temp agencies and even started out as a temp. The temp agency I signed on with me hired me to recruit workers. I worked for the agency for a year and a half.

I'm not going to change your mind; you're not going to change mine and I think we should just ignore each other. If you can't discuss something civilly without getting your boxers in a bunch, it only says to me that you're not that confident in the swill you post.

No, Employers do put people on welfare.

Let's look at it this way. Our GDP is bout 17 Trillion. If you divided that evenly across the 170 million in the workforce, everyone would earn six figures, have a comfortable life and never, ever need to so on welfare.

Instead, we have the top 1% who have 43% of the wealth and the top 20% who have 87% of the wealth.

The ironic thing is you whine about the pittance we pay poor people to not riot, but don't complain about the 40 million retired people living high on the hog with Social Security and Medicare.

But that's white people welfare.

You do know that the top 1% don't get their money from a paycheck don't you?

And I hate to tell you this but not all skills are equal. Putting burgers and fires into paper bags is not a skill that is worth 6 figures

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If I can train my 9-year-old to do it, it ain't worth $15 an hour. Period.

Then they can try it for 8 hours...

I have not personally attacking you, dupe I am attacking your politics and the fact that you believe a gigantic pile of crap. I live in a county where there are more cows than people and voted 73% for Trump. I love these people except for their incredibly stupid politics. it is not their fault it is the fault of the amazing gigantic GOP propaganda machine. Most of my friends are dupes and super dupes. We don't spend a lot of time talking about LOL

Calling me a dupe is a personal attack. That you hang around with people you think are dupes and super dupes is your business not mine. Thank you.

No, that is a political attack. A personal attack is what the dupes on here call Democrats... Like faget, unemployed gay stupid, on welfare etc etc. I always call you people brainwashed functional idiots morons stupid Etc. I know you're not stupid and I don't assume that you are on welfare or anything else like most GOP voters do our here... Because they are brainwashed...

So calling someone a dupe is political? You are so full of it.

So if I called you an idiot, which to me is the same as dupe, then that is a political attack? Lol!

If you really believe that then I think you yourself are one. Unreal logic!

An idiot is someone who is stupid whose brain doesn't work right. I say no such thing when I call you a Dupe
Look it up. They ought to change the name of your party to the Greedy Billionaire and Dope Party. You're not stupid or idiotic, you're just not paying attention or the victim of a brilliant gigantic propaganda machine. Get it yet?

I am not a Republican, so you are wrong, I didn’t vote For Trump or Clinton, I have a distaste for fake people. I am not deceived, I realize that neither party looks out for the people. I think you have been duped but I wouldn’t call you a dupe. That is me, I also don’t respect you for calling others a dupe. Also it is not just Republicans that make personal attacks on this board. Humorme and The Derp have made several personal attacks on myself without warrant. But I also know you live in a fantasy world. So enjoy the rest of your life.

Actually the Democrats do care for the people, just have been obstructed for 50 years... Obama had 34 days of control and we got Medicaid for the poor workers and a solution for our Healthcare mess given the time... It has to be worked on forever.

. Huh ?? Yet all it takes here is to cross that southern border, get to a sanctuary City, and then quickly find that indentured servitude job that your inside contact set up for you, otherwise where as it is expected of you (an illegal) to work like a dog for little of nothing, and have no protections, and then if complain get sent packing to be replaced by the next perceived slave or cheap laborer from across that border ??

That sounds like a good reason to go after the companies that hire illegals... not the illegals themselves.

So we can't tell people how much to hire, but we can tell them who to hire????
