It makes me so angry how badly people devalue labor.

@tenente Collective bargaining is a huge one.

@tenente high minimum wages just creates more unemployment. The law of supply and demmand does care about your good intentions. When the cost of something goes up the demand for it goes down. Every time!

@Tiusflow So if higher minimum wages leads to higher unemployment that why might it be that the states in America which have tried increasing the minimum wage saw no increase in unemployment? Increasing wages increases unemployment except that...it doesn't.

Imagine if you were running for public office on this platform. "Pay people less!" Who the hell is gonna vote for that?

@BlueMetalChick that is simply not true. But neither was your statement about how many people live in poverty. You need to do some real research. If wages go up employers will hire less people. Its a fact. You want life tp be fair. Only children expect life to be fair. It is the main difference between conservatives and leftists. I know I used to be a left winger. Conservatives believe in freedom which creates its own fairness.

@Tiusflow So you're telling me that the CBO, the State Department, all studies done by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the right-wing CATO Foundation, the AHF, the Commonwealth Fund, and the World Health Organization are all lying. All those institutions, some being left-wing, some being right-wing, all of them are completely full of shit, but YOU know the truth.

The funny part is, I'm more conservative than you are. Because a pillar of conservatism is to decrease the size of government and use a little money for welfare as possible. My platform does both of those things. Your platform...y'know, doesn't.
