Comb over vs Pant Suit with the flu......these are the most important issues that decided the campaign....there are more balding voters hiding behind comb overs than people wearing pant suits and stumbling...nothing gets past americans
BREAKING: Trump Announces Plan To ELIMINATE Overtime Pay For 20,000,000 Americans President-elect Donald Trump’s most rabid supporters are in for a big surprise that is not going to make them very happy. Since Trump’s election win, Republicans have made clear they are already in cahoots to repeal Obamacare, reform taxes, and do away with several regulations that were issued late in the Obama administration. POLITICO reported: ‘Weeks before the 115th Congress even begins, House Republicans are laying the groundwork for a major push to repeal President Barack Obama’s most recent regulations, using the Congressional Review Act. The 1996 law allows the House to reverse regulations enacted within the previous 60 legislative days — and the Senate to pass a repeal by simple majority instead of the upper chamber’s typical 60-vote threshold.’ http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/11...liminate-overtime-pay-for-20000000-americans/
Looks like 50-50 to me. The media isn't so interested in reporting on the half committing acts of violence against Trump.
Because the economic policies of the past 8 years have spent us into $20T of debt, massive growth of people needing food stamps, mediocre economic growth, job growth mostly in low paying fields, etc.
Don't act like it's good policy. Walmart. They're costing us +60 Bil by not paying their workers a living wage.
And you just know this.... How can you come to a 50/50 conclusion when you think the bold is true? You just spitballing?
Say what?!?! What era have you been living in? The issue with "Wall Mart" isn't what puts people on food stamps. Those jobs could be given to teenagers or those just wanting to make extra cash. Just like the fast food industry, they are designed for those not needing a "living wage" but students or teenagers.
This notion needs to die. And it's a TIRED Republican talking point. The fact of the matter is that these jobs (cashier, customer svc) are not inhabited by the people YOU say those jobs are meant for.
A federal force of min. wage is ludicrous. This should be a state issue. $15 per hour in Alabama is a living wage. $15 per hour in Manhattan is extreme poverty. Also, if the cost of living in another state is lower, it can compete with other states for population growth. When you have some "CENTRAL MARXIST GOVERNMENT" deciding the good of all people, then everything in the U.S. should be the same. You ready for that?
And frankly, I'll listen to people who you can't argue with, that don't parrot talking points: Report: Walmart Workers Cost Taxpayers $6.2 Billion In Public Assistance Walmart’s low-wage workers cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $6.2 billion in public assistance including food stamps, Medicaid and subsidized housing, according to a report published to coincide with Tax Day, April 15. Americans for Tax Fairness, a coalition of 400national and state-level progressive groups, made this estimate using data from a 2013 study by Democratic Staff of the U.S. Committee on Education and the Workforce. “The study estimated the cost to Wisconsin’s taxpayers of Walmart’s low wages and benefits, which often force workers to rely on various public assistance programs,” reads the report, available in full here. “It found that a single Walmart Supercenter cost taxpayers between $904,542 and $1.75 million per year, or between $3,015 and $5,815 on average for each of 300 workers.” http://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcom...llion-in-public-assistance/&refURL=&referrer=
No, I advocated it being a state issue. If the state of California decides to increase min. wage, then it is what it is. If I don't like it, then I can move our corporation in another State that helps my bottom line. That becomes the choice of the company, not the government.
Um... yeah. You don't blame them for anything. You grandstand about government being the problem when the biggest problem is corporations controlling government. But you don't want to tackle that issue.
They aren't as evil as you think. Well, most of them aren't. They are just people that want to make the most money for their shareholders. The politicians that allow lobbyist and special interest in are to blame. A public servant should look up the definition of that term before taking office.
But that's all they want to do. Damn the people or the environment. One day they will learn they can't eat money... Corporations are using 20+ police agencies that have no jurisdiction, to push people off of their land using EMINENT DOMAIN so a corporation can run a pipeline over sacred land threatening their water supply. Water Protector in Critical Condition After DAPL Police Grenade Blew Apart Her Arm Sunday night’s no-holds-barred offensive by police from multiple agencies against unarmed water protectors opposed to the Dakota Access Pipeline on Highway 1806’s Backwater Bridge — in which at least 167 suffered injuries — sent two elders into cardiac arrest, left a 13-year-old girl injured by a rubber bullet to the head, and now, one woman will almost certainly lose her arm. Sophia Walinsky stood among the crowd of around 400 water protectors as the police launched an all-out assault, firing ‘nonlethal’ projectiles, tear gas, mace, LRAD sound cannons, and concussion grenades — one of which reportedly exploded on her left arm, tearing through flesh and exposing bone, and leaving her facing possible amputation. She is reportedly being cared for in a hospital in Minnesota, and at the time this article was published, the fate of her arm was still unknown http://thefreethoughtproject.com/water-protector-dapl-grenade-destroys-arm/ I hate these corporations just like you hate government.
Pretty sure that's the situation now and will be the situation in the future. There is a federal minimum wage now, and there is a CA minimum wage, and they aren't the same. So I guess you are arguing for abolishing the federal minimum wage? You think workers in Alabama should be paid less than $7/hour or whatever it is right now? barfo
I think the states should decide on what requirement is the minimum wage for their citizens since they are elected by those in their state. If the citizens don't like it, then they can vote out any leadership that doesn't increase their wage.
Wait, I thought you were a 'drain the swamp' guy. Are you telling me that state governments are never corrupt and always do what's in the best interest of the population, rather than, say, in the interest of businesses who might want a low minimum wage and have certain inducements to offer lawmakers in exchange? barfo
