    Uh...yeahhhh...well duhhh...that's what I'm saying alright....everyone except you knows it's true, adjusted for inflation and fierce Republican opposition...

    High 20s per month for me, same year in Los Angeles, 1/3 among 3 hippie students. So about the same.

    A convenient choice of decades. After no minimum wage change since Reagan, Democrats recently stomped on your ilk to increase it.

    You're right! The unions membership dropped to a 70 year low last year in the Obama administration

    I thought socialists unite and support unions?

    That's not what I'm saying at all. Union membership is the lowest it's been in very long time.

    No... Racism doesn't exist at all when it comes to hiring black folk. There's no possible way that could happen.. It's all in our minds....

    See here we go again. You will praise Obama for a great economy but blame the republican congress for any negativity. I guess you fell for my trap easily.

    Democrats historically support unions and get union support. Have you been living under a rock? Republicans with their "school choice", and hammering on the USPS (while owning fucking UPS stores galore), TSA ect, never support unions. This has been the truth for decades.

    Now you fell for my trap. The military is the most socialist entity in our country!

    They will pay for your back child support...

    You support socialism.

    Lol at your attempt to trap. Show me where I said I do not support some socialism? I just don't want to be a socialist country. And your hyperbole on how they are socialist is a myopic attempt at best. Please try again...

    I think you keep forgetting that I voted for Clinton both terms and made a mistake to vote for Obama his first term.

    The military pays for everything from school, to housing, to housing loans to back child support.

    The military isn't socialist.

    I support as small a military as possible. Preferably only something like a national guard.

    However, if you think the military is socialist and you want socialism, doesn't that mean you want a militaristic society?

    Ick.

    The military is not a democratic institution, if you ever served you'd know the difference. You waive most of your rights when you sign up. I was taken to court for refusing to throw polluting debris in the ocean on a garbage detail. If someone tells you to do something right or wrong..you are required to do it or face the consequences. You cannot walk away from your job or you will go to prison.

    I'm in agreement with just having a National Guard (well regulated militia). That's JUST like Switzerland. I was really just trying to paint either of you into a corner regarding socialism. ;)

    The United States military is the largest and most funded socialist program in the world. It operates thanks to our taxpayer dollars and protects the country as a whole. From the richest citizens to the homeless who sleep under the bridge. We are all protected by our military whether we pay taxes or not. This is complete socialism.
