End poverty by raising minimum to $12/hour

    Re Feb. 12 Viewpoint, “It’s time to raise minimum wage”: Again, we embark on debates about the minimum wage. I believe the minimum wage should be determined by the free market — not by interest groups and politicians.
    But for those who disagree with me, why not just stop imposing incremental increases and increase the minimum wage to $12 an hour? Since the poverty wage level for a family of four is $22,500, no full-time worker will earn less than $24,000 a year and — shazam! — poverty will have been eliminated!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha......poverty doesn't disappear with wage increases....poverty can also be caused by poor priorities....

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

If $12 would be good, $15 would be better...and $20 would be better yet, right?  Why not just say everybody works for free and the government will send a check (EBT) to your account for $2K a week, no matter your specialty (or lack thereof)?

"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Rome opened the store houses just before the fall.....the masses hated the leadership for their pomp and decadence, laziness and incompetent, do as I say not as I do attitude and the
'reasoning' of Rome will take care of you......

the current unemployment numbers DO NOT reflect those who have lost their jobs and went from EARNING(ACTUAL WORK) $20/HOUR to EARNING(ACTUAL WORK) $10/HOUR.....
I would call that a government shake down policy....because Fannie/Freddie/SEC and the rest of the gumbas (including stupid Hollywood feelgooders) were pretending they were in Rome...

so here we are made into poverty, however, they will 'cover it up' and play Robinhood....making everyone equally impoverished.....

They can go 'F' themselves....even at the local level it's pathetic.....skilled jobs in schenectady include CNA jobs? really? oh, they are skilled all right and plenty of work coming their way, with the
boomers moving up there, but you cant afford to own a home, and pay the taxes while whiping the asses of the 1% locally...nor can one afford to dine with the local 1%.....

but let's look through those rose colored glasses and say, "atleast there are other folks in the $15/hour range"......who clan-ish of us......

it's a dirty dirty dirty shame our leaders decided on class warfare for this election......instead of positive ladder climbing encouragement we get the 'shakedown'.......

go ahead and open the storehouse....it can never be closed again......Rome burned
