Would republican voters support lowering the minimum wage if the GOP pushed such a thing?

[Wyatt earp]

Only if you are forced to work for free. If you do it on your own, it's not slavery at all.

What is the benefit of zero wages? What is the virtue of lower wages? Would people willingly offer their labor for lower wages if there were no other means of amliving for them?

Let's pretend you live in Williamson, WV. There are four coal mines, a Dollar General and an O'Reilly Auto Parts store in town. The coal mines decide to,lower the wages to $3.50 an hour. The aDollar General has a staff of 10 and they pay $3.00 an hour. O'Reilly's has a staff of six and pays $3.25 an hour. You have a mortgage and two kids who want to attend WVU next September,

Should you knuckle under and agree your wages are too high, then move out of town? Can you sell your house?

There are a lot of things you can do. Yes, you can move for better opportunities which people do every day in this country. The other is petition your state leaders to institute a state minimum wage. You can open up your own business and pay yourself whatever you can sell your products or services for. You can also just go on welfare which pays better than three bucks an hour.

Most places don't have minimum wage jobs anymore because nobody will work them at the current rate. Even McDonald's starts off at a buck or more above minimum wage to attract workers. There is only so low people will work for.

What is the virtue of eliminating the minimum wage? Who benefits? Low wage workers?

Minority teenagers, for one, If I want to mess around and work for a buck an hour part time to learn a new skill why is the government stopping me?


.

What if the 'beneficial ' job is agricultural? Heavy industry? Mining?

Wouldn't those cheap teenagers look like a better labor force than adults?

Doesn't the lack of a floor for wages make other wages drop? The beneficiaries of that policy are the employers, never the employees.

And you bring up a good point, according to some on the left it is perfectly ok to operate heavy machinery while stoned.

Would democrats allow babies to live if the DNC pushed such a thing??

Are you suggesting that babies are no longer being born in the US? Man you people really out do yourselves with non sense.

You worthless fucks support slaughtering unborn babies with sharp instruments. Ask me again dumass.

Actually what we support is a woman’s right to her own body. If that involves a sharp instrument and a fetus, so be it. Christ the world is overpopulated enough anyway lol

Yeah, you support the right of a woman's body until they wish to keep it out of view of weirdo men in dresses using their changing rooms. Then, too bad.

If you are ready to jump off a bridge and the police are called, they go through pain staking efforts to save your life. If successful, they lock you up in a mental ward of a hospital for a while. And prostitution is illegal in most parts of this country.

So no, not everybody has a right to do what they want with their body.

 

[dblack]

What exactly do you mean by "predatory"?

I mean that with no controls, employers can "talk" a person that is desperate into taking a job, any job, because they are in need. That's a predator. I've had that played on me only I would not play. LOL

Really? Talking someone into something should be illegal??

 

[dblack]

After all, the government had no place in raising the wage to begin with! Cost of living and inflation be damned! Corporate profits are all that matters! The GOP really looks out for us all huh? That turtle faced piece of shit McDonnell is a true Christian after all.

Them doing this really wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility. After all, the GOP was outraged after Obama expanded over time pay entitlement to thousands of workers. They of course had to undo that!

Point blank: republicans would you support lowering the minimum wage because of your weird outrage over it being raised over time in the first place?

Nope! I vote GOP but I don't support lowering or getting rid of the minimum wage.

Under Trump, the GOP is being transformed into a bunch of full-blown statists.

So? I never wanted tiny government. I am a Racial Socialist so.

You're an utter miscreant, if your posts are any guide. I wasn't talking about you.

Why do you people have such an obsession with this bathroom thing? It’s so petty. I get that you think these people are freaks because you’re immature but it doesn’t mean they actually act like freaks. Statistically, GOP officials have been involved with more bathroom assaults than transgendered people. That’s the reality you need to accept.

But that's kind of the whole problem. It's so petty, yet liberals insist on dictating this shit because - wait for it .... they know better. This is exactly why working class whites have rejected the Democrats. They're sick of your sanctimonious condemnation of their every foible. Just leave people be.

Just leave people be? Why doesn’t that include letting transgendered people use the bathroom of their choice. Contrary to republican belief, these people pose no threat to anyone in the bathroom. This didn’t become an issue until the GOP started to whine about it.

Nonsense. It's illegal because, as a society, we have a bunch of irrational hangups regarding sex.

Because it should be up to the people who own the bathroom. We don't need government telling us how to pee.

Fair to say. But you give them soooo much to whine about. The Democrats' "freak of the week" approach to civil rights has severely undermined the notion of real equal rights. It's tarnished the brand name of heroes like MLK, and reduced the whole thing to a bad Jerry Springer episode.

I have a better idea: why not just let people pee in the bathroom of their own gender and leave everybody else alone?

The next thing you know, you libs will be asking that people who think they' dogs allowed to crap in the park or lift their leg to pee on a fire hydrant.

Right, because there is certainly no health risk killing babies.

Well maybe because our women folk are not liberal and therefore normal. They don't want those freaks in their bathroom.....especially people with daughters in high school.

I don't think these people are freaks because of immaturity, I think they're freaks because they are men who think they are women. That's the very definition of a freak.

But because they’ve always done it and there is no actual risk to them doing it, why can’t you just let it go? I know when you think transgendered you think of a guy with stubble wearing a dress and a wig, but most of the time you can’t tell at first glance that they are trans so no one has to bitch about this.
