Business Tries to Stop San Diego's Minimum Wage Hike

What are your thoughts on Hooters?

 

You must spread some rep around before giving it to Marazul again.

 

You are on the wrong side of the argument yet again. I realize the facts don't fit your world view, but them's the breaks.

Inflation is the enemy, not businesses of any size.

If people need assistance, we have programs for that. Why do we want to put people out of work only to rely on welfare?

Let them eat cake!

That's not an argument. That's just posturing.

maybe you can get that printed on a bumper sticker, it's pretty catchy.
I'm not really sure inflation is our biggest economic issue right now, frankly.

Hey kids, it's Big Government Denny! Who wants a handout?

I don't have much of a choice but to pay taxes. They have guns and they'll throw me in jail if I don't. So may as well get my $1 worth.

What's the point, barfo? If you want to make poor people not poor, do what government does best - write checks. It's way cheaper and way more effective. Don't need 150 programs to hand out the money piecemeal. One will do. Income tax return.

So you see, you are on the wrong side of the argument.

 

You could move to one of those abandoned drilling rigs and declare it independent DennyLand. It would be a great place for a marine memorabilia shop.

Uh, ok

Whatever you say. Don't let me get in the way of your welfare state.

Ok, thanks for explaining that. I'll switch sides now.

Sounds like a proper concession. Good for you.

Though a tax rebate is not a welfare state. Getting rid of the 150 programs that all try to accomplish the same thing is getting rid of the welfare state.
