Why do democrats hate poor black people and want them permanently on welfare?

So we have had soaring profits which would allow for better wages. That is my point.

That's why you don't understand business. Wages are not tied to profits or success unless you have profit sharing. If your company is doing well, you can exercise your option to buy stock in the company if you wish to share in their good fortunes. But in most cases, you get paid a certain wage for your particular job no matter how the company does.

Sorry but it's a fact, plenty of profits for high wages. You don't understand labor. If Walmart paid more they would have a better business. But hey you are defeated. The best we can do is hope to keep bad jobs. Loser mentality.

So Walmart and all it's success doesn't know of your little secret? Sorry, but why don't I believe that?

I'll tell you why, it's because the unions told Democrat leaders to spread the word around that all Walmart jobs are low paying garbage jobs. What they don't tell you is Walmart offers the best possibility for advancement. Low level Walmart jobs pay the same as Target or K-Mart. Walmart pays their management pretty well, they pay their truck drivers pretty well, they pay their office staff pretty well, they pay their warehouse people pretty well.

Don't believe Democrat politicians, they are all born liars.

As for what a company pays their employees, yes they could pay better wages, but why should they? They can get the same work done for less money and keep their investments attractive at the same time.

I think they are starting to get it, they have recently made improvements.

So yes they could pay more, thank you. Now do you agree this would strengthen the economy? Imagine people having more to spend. Imagine fewer on welfare. Imagine more people paying income tax and appreciating the ideas of small gov and lower taxes.


so if walmart pays its employees more, what happens next? They have to raise prices. When they raise prices they sell less stuff. When they sell less stuff they don't need as many employees. So the end result is more people collecting unemployment.

economics is not complicated.

You are jumping ahead. One step at a time please. Remember there are plenty of profits to pay more. You don't think more people making good money is good? You don't think the economy would grow? You want people dependent on government?

Let's stop the loser attitude and discuss what would really help people out of poverty and grow the economy.
 
Way to make things much worse. A real money saver that was. DERP!

You are great at dodging questions.

And you're great at ignoring his many failures.
Do you think he saved money by withdrawing from Iraq like he did?

Sorry but you haven't answered my question. I don't have time for your dodging.

The answer is, as long as it takes. Moron!

Keep explaining how Obama's weak ass recovery was so awesome.

So indefinitely we pay to police Iraq. Amazing.

How much did we save thanks to Obama's stupid early withdrawal?
 
Employment is at-will.

Unemployment benefits are for those laid off.
Not for quitters or never workers.

too much irony for hypocrites? it is about being legal to our own laws instead of merely, "harassing" less fortunate illegals for their illegalities.

it is about being legal to our own laws

Exactly!
Our laws say, unemployment benefits are for those laid off.
Not for quitters or never workers.
can you cite a State labor code that states that?

Requirements in IL

In order to be eligible for Illinois unemployment benefits you must meet the following standards:

  • You must meet the wage requirement by having earned enough wages from an employer covered by the unemployment law in the past 18 months
  • You must be unemployed through no fault of your own.
  • You must be able and available to work
  • You must be allowed to work in the US legally and be an Illinois resident
You must meet the wage requirement. Then, the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) examiners will look at the circumstances of your dismissal and other issues to determine eligibility. When you file for benefits, you must register with the IDES’s job search website.

Eligibility Requirements Explained
Able and Available to Work
You must be physically and mentally able to work when you file your initial claim. You must be available to accept suitable employment; a job you are trained to do, capable of performing and one that pays a similar salary to your own. The longer you’re unemployed, you’ll be expected to accept jobs that pay less.

Unemployed Through No Fault of Your Own
Your actions or decisions cannot be the cause of your separation from work. If the shop moved to a new city or the employer had no work for you, you may be qualified if otherwise eligible.

Wage Requirement and the Base Period

The IDES will observe if you have any wages from “covered employers.” Covered employers are businesses required to pay unemployment insurance taxes. Some occupations and employers are not covered. If you worked for one of these employers, you will not be eligible to collect unemployment insurance.

The state will look at your wages over a 12-month period called “the base period.” Your base period will be the first four out of the last five quarters you worked prior to the date you filed your initial claim for benefits.


This chart shows the base period.

Additionally:

  • You must earn at least $1,600 during the base period
  • Excluding the quarter where you earned the most money, you must have earned at least $440.
The IDES may require additional information from you regarding your claim if there are separation issues and your employer protests the benefit award, or you provided information they could not confirm. You may even be called after a weekly certification. You must respond when they request to speak with you in person or face loosing benefits.

Unemployment Benefit Amount in Illinois
The IDES will use the base period wages to calculate your weekly benefit amount (WBA). The amount will equal 47% of the average of your wages in the two highest earning quarters of the base period divided by 26 (the maximum amount of weeks you may receive benefits is 26).

You may claim dependents on your claim, just as you would for taxes. However, you can only claim either a spouse as a dependent or children, not both.

The state provides a chart to allow you to estimate your Illinois WBA. This chart includes the maximum amount you can receive. As of 2017, the max WBA for an individual is $449. The max with a spousal dependent is $535. The max WBA using children as dependents is $613.

Illinois Unemployment – Know Your Rights
Administrative law is subject to the supreme law of the land of the State, and any necessary and proper statutes legislated by your elected representatives to office.

Yes, Illinois really is an employment-at-will state. To that point, Illinois courts follow the employment-at-will legal doctrine in deciding "discharge cases."

In order to be eligible for Illinois unemployment benefits you must meet the following standards:

It's weird, none of the standards is, "I just don't want to work"
 
dudette, are you really this naive or are you just playing dumb?

So the argument is about working welfare. WELFARE. what part of that word confuses you?
it is a social safety net because capitalism failed in 1929, and we need socialism to bailout capitalism like usual, in modern times.

Capitalism didn't fail in 1929.
Yes, it did.

Nope.
yup.

I wish you could back up your claim....but you can't

Why are you reading things in my post that I didn't say? Where did I state that higher profits preclude higher pay for workers? I never said that.

What I said is that profits are irrelevant to employee pay. If you are only worth X amount of money for your work, then that's all you're worth regardless of what the company makes or what they pay their CEO. That is unless you have profit sharing as a benefit.

Why Wal-Mart can afford to give its workers a 50% raise

Thanks for the link.

Wal-Mart paid its top executives and board members $66.7 million last year. The rest of the money has to be split among Wal-Mart's remaining roughly 2.2 million employees. Of those, about 1.4 million work in the U.S. Assume that Wal-Mart spends about 2/3 of that on the salaries of its U.S. employees, because salaries are generally higher here. That leaves $66.6 billion for the U.S. workers, or $47,593.

Now the question is, what did they actually pay their employees in 2012?

How much less than $66.6 billion?

You may claim dependents on your claim, just as you would for taxes. However, you can only claim either a spouse as a dependent or children, not both.

The state provides a chart to allow you to estimate your Illinois WBA. This chart includes the maximum amount you can receive. As of 2017, the max WBA for an individual is $449. The max with a spousal dependent is $535. The max WBA using children as dependents is $613.

Illinois Unemployment – Know Your Rights
Administrative law is subject to the supreme law of the land of the State, and any necessary and proper statutes legislated by your elected representatives to office.

Yes, Illinois really is an employment-at-will state. To that point, Illinois courts follow the employment-at-will legal doctrine in deciding "discharge cases."

"Employment at will" means there is mutual freedom by both the employer and the employee to end the employment relationship....Yes, Illinois is Still an Employment-At-Will State! | Wessels Sherman Joerg Liszka Laverty Seneczko P.C.

In order to be eligible for Illinois unemployment benefits you must meet the following standards:

It's weird, none of the standards is, "I just don't want to work"
don't like being legal to a federal doctrine and your own State laws?

Not paying you unemployment is perfectly legal.
 

I wish you could back up your claim....but you can't
Capitalism failed in 1929. Hoover was replaced with the more socialist FDR, and his brand of socialism, to bailout capitalism.

Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

You'll have to explain why you feel it failed.
 
Still waiting.

You're waiting for a list of Presidents that dealt with bigger problems than Obama had?
What are you, 12?

Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, Truman, LBJ, Nixon, Carter, Reagan.
And plenty more. And none of them added $9+ trillion to the debt while delivering such a weak recovery.

That is funny. Reagan had no wars and started our debt problem.

Reagan had a double dip recession, double digit inflation, double digit interest rates and a Cold War to fight.
It's true, Reagan added $1.8 trillion to the debt, won the Cold War and had awesome GDP growth.

Obama added $9.3 trillion to the debt, lost Iraq, Syria and Libya and had sucky GDP growth.
Reagan almost tripled the debt, started incredibly stupid ME chaos with his pal Saddam, and left Booosh a corrupt S+L mega bubble. We're lucky he didn't bring back Soviet hard liners with his bs bluster. Thank god for Gorby. Then 35 years legacy of pander to the rich ruin of the middle class and our infrastructure, dupes. And the bs New BS GOP propaganda machine and the zombie racist GOP. That obstructed the Obama recovery for no reason but hate.

Reagan almost tripled the debt,

I know. Reagan added $1.8 trillion. Awful! Obama added $9.3 trillion, no big deal, eh?
Heard of inflation? Reagan added 1.8 in "good times". That's how we got good times, a sham. Obama's debt was 80-90% averting a depression and helping the victims. Great job, GOP. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Obama didn't triple it.

I know, he only added $9.3 trillion.
Made things worse in the middle east and gave us the weakest recovery in at least 70 years.

Reagan and his voodoo economics created our debt problems. The Middle East mess was made worse by Bush. Could have easily turned into a depression, I'll take a recovery.

Reagan rebuilt the military and won the Cold War. Shrunk government as % of GDP.
Freed hundreds of millions from Communism. And look at real GDP.

Obama took a stable Iraq....fucked it up. Lost Egypt and Libya.
Thank goodness the military kicked out his buddy Morsi.
Added $9.3 trillion to the debt and had crappy GDP.

Is there anything Obama was good at? I mean besides wrecking race relations?

Turned around a recession. Lowered unemployment. Got us through the housing bubble. Saved the auto industry. Didn't start any new wars. We were in much better shape when he left than when he started. But that is the same for Reagan. Both had good with bad.
Reagan was a sham by '89. S+L bubble, huge debt.

Inflation that was over 13% in 1980 and dropped to less than 2% in 1986?
Yes, I've heard of it you silly moron.

Reagan added 1.8 in "good times".


You can say that just because it was good times after the massive economic growth of his 2 terms.

Obama's debt was 80-90% averting a depression

Hey, silly person, the recession was over in June 2009.
Why did he continue to add trillions to the debt when the economy went positive so quickly?
Reagan added $1.8 trillion and GDP was $ 5.3 trillion in 1988.
Obama added $9.3 trillion and GDP was $18.6 trillion in 2016.

Every way you look at it, compared to Reagan, Obama pretty much sucked.
