I don't know. I found your post very hard to parse.

The simplest argument I can make for a liveable minimum wage is that the rich have to pay the poor (middle class) at least enough to be able to afford to buy the lovely things that the rich manufacture.

Meaning, if you build cars, HDTV's, phones, computers, horrible pizza, lovely hamburgers or whatever the gently caress it is, what good is it if no one can afford to buy it? At the end of the day, capitalism is a zero sum, winner take all, game (like Monopoly) and that's the problem.

Does anyone know where I can get a transcript from today's Sean Hannity radio show?
It was about the Michigan eliminating race criteria for school admissions, and Hannity going on about SAT performance, and concluded with him showing that we need to spend more money on early education and him lamenting that there was no nation-wide inner city effort to do this.

Probably from SeanHannity.com

It's harder to make my first point concise but the second one seems to be the one with the most charge: Any company relying on minimum wage workers right now is essentially having their payroll subsidized by tax money. If tomorrow we passed a law that said "if you have a job, you don't get any gov't benefits" I can think of at least 3 large companies that would be tits up in months as the bulk of their employees wouldn't be able to live.

Why would any self declared conservative put up with that? I don't even know why a tea partying bomb thrower would put up with that. There's some idiotic meme going around that set that says not to investigate any reason beyond the poor person themselves for why they are using gov't benefits (in addition to the idiotic meme that anyone on gov't benefits doesn't have a job) and it seems pretty clearly designed to shield employers from blame or a 2nd thought about how THEY benefit from food stamps, energy assistance, etc.

Think of it this way, no company hires a person at minimum wage if they're creating less than minimum wage in profits. If a person is working minimum wage, creating more benefit for a company than themselves, who exactly is the major benefitee of gov't subsidies of poor people?

Hey, how about some good news? Jon Chait partially redeems his mush-headedness about race with a column gathering up all the evidence of the arrival (like, now) of the Enduring Democratic Majority in his space over at New York Magazine.

quote:

Is the Rising Democratic Majority Doomed?

By Jonathan Chait

The slow, increasingly Democratic cast of the American electorate would seem to be a cardinal fact of American politics. The electorate is firmly polarized, with few voters actually liable to change their minds. The proportion of nonwhite voters has risen by about two percentage points every four years, a rate that seems likely to persist indefinitely as the population grows steadily more diverse. The youngest voting cohort has decidedly more liberal views, and more Democratic voting habits, than its elders, and partisan loyalty tends to stick throughout a voter�s lifetime. And yet the phenomenon continues to be met with an unduly wide, deep array of skepticism.

When Ruy Teixeira and John Judis wrote The Emerging Democratic Majority a dozen years ago, few of us placed much credence in their then-wild-sounding prediction. As recently as two and a half years ago, it was still being ridiculed.

As political events have increasingly borne out the prediction, it has been met with a series of objections, most of which have either been confounded or made no sense to begin with. Consider a few:

Objection: The growth of the Latino vote might stop (Sean Trende).

Result: Nope, the Latino vote has continued to rise.

Objection: Younger millennial voters entering the electorate during the sluggish Obama recovery would turn against him (Dana Milbank, Michael Barone).

Result: No, it turns out �Younger and older millennials also have similar assessments of the job Barack Obama is doing as president.�

Objection: Young voters are �libertarian,� and politically independent, and thus up for grabs (Ron Fournier, Julie Borowski, Nick Gillespie, and pretty much all the libertarians).

Result: This goes in the �never made any sense� category. Like libertarians, millennial voters do tend to have left-wing views on social policy and culture. Very much unlike libertarians, they also tend to have left-wing views on economics. They self-identify as �liberal,� believe the government has a duty to provide health insurance to all Americans, and support �bigger government� in the abstract at a far higher rate than any other age cohort. It�s true that millennial voters self-identify as �independent� more than Democrat, but they vote heavily Democratic. (Political scientists understand that most self-identified �independents� reliably vote for the same party).

**

The most popular new grounds for skepticism hold that the browning of America will provoke a backlash among whites � as the proportion of Latinos and Asians rises, threatened whites will grow increasingly conservative. Versions of this hypothesis have reverberated not only among conservatives like Trende and Barone, but also among liberals like Jamelle Bouie. And this theory does have at least some suggestive evidence that it may be true.

A recent psychological study found that, when researchers read a news story reporting the rising share of minorities in the United States to a group of white subjects, the subjects grew more Republican. The study has attracted widespread attention, confirming the liberal fear, and the conservative hope, that the growth of Asian and Latino voters will produce an offsetting shift to the right among whites. �The changing American polity may come to look more like Texas than like the multicultural Democratic stronghold of California,� concludes political scientist Larry Bartels. �In an increasingly diverse America, identity politics will continue to cut both ways.�

It is certainly plausible that this study portends a future racially polarized America. But it seems strange to treat mass trends in evidence among successive elections involving over 125 million Americans while hanging confident predictions of the future of American politics on a laboratory microsimulation. People are highly susceptible to priming � which is to say, even slight changes to the context in which they make a decision can produce large differences in their actions. Making white people focus on increasing diversity while sitting in a controlled room may cause them to immediately report more conservative beliefs. That does not necessarily tell you what the open vista of American politics, a vast ecosystem teeming with messages and context of all kinds, will look like.
We got this.

In the same column in which he touts the white-fear study, Bartels touts a second research experiment. This one shows that when Asian-American students are subjected to an experimenter questioning their citizenship, their Democratic partisanship shoots up. This finding would certainly help explain Asian-Americans� durable Democratic leanings, which � given their relative affluence � has frustrated Republicans. Bartels concludes instead that it augurs well for Republicans, since, he argues, �such experiences of social exclusion based on ethnicity will probably be less common in 20 years, when there are likely to be 50 percent more Asian-Americans and 50 percent more Hispanic-Americans than there are now.�

This is also a plausible way to imagine the future of the United States � in an increasingly diverse country, racial harmony prevails, and the feelings of exclusion that have driven growing segments of Asian-American (and, perhaps, Latinos) into the arms of the Democrats will melt away, allowing them to melt into the political mainstream just as previous generations of Irish- and Italian-Americans did.

Yet it�s important to note that this scenario is almost impossible to reconcile with the other scenario Bartels describes in the very same column. On the one hand, he predicts that rising diversity creates a growing racial backlash among increasingly resentful whites. On the other hand, he predicts that the decline of racial tensions will make minorities forget their outsiderness and start voting Republican. How could both these things happen at once?

**

Let us pull back for a moment and reassess what we know about the future. Predicting it is hard. The farther off into the future one extends a prediction, the less likely it is to come true. We do, however, have some relatively solid data and relatively solid guidelines to help us understand where the observable trends in American politics will take us.

In the medium term, we appear to have entered a period in which Democrats command a normal advantage in presidential elections. That doesn�t mean Democrats will dominate Congress � both the House and Senate maps geographically favor Republicans, and Democratic constituents reliably fail to turn out during midterm elections. It also doesn�t mean Democrats will always win a national election. Republicans probably held such an advantage from 1968 through at least 1988, but right in the midst of that period, the Watergate scandal created a massive Democratic wave in 1974 and a narrow Democratic win two years later. A major scandal or a recession would almost surely hand Republicans the White House. Still, it seems to be the case that the Republican coalition in its present form cannot win a presidential election without a major tailwind.

It is also safe to say that this condition will not hold forever and ever. In the long run, two rational political parties will move toward equilibrium. The Republicans will move toward the center, the Democrats will move left, or, more likely, both will happen. Or possibly something major will happen to shatter the political landscape, in the way the racial conflagrations of the 1960s broke up the New Deal coalition. (Many people believed 9/11 would play just such a role on behalf of the Republicans, but the effect faded, or arguably backfired, when it drove a Republican administration to launch a bungled invasion of Iraq.)

My belief, of which I obviously can�t be certain, is that conservatism as we know it is doomed. I believe this because the virulent opposition to the welfare state we see here is almost completely unique among major conservative parties across the world. In no other advanced country do leading figures of governing parties propose the denial of medical care to their citizens or take their ideological inspiration from crackpots like Ayn Rand. America�s unique brand of ideological anti-statism is historically inseparable (as I recently argued) from the legacy of slavery. Whatever form America�s polyglot majority ultimately takes, it is hard to see the basis for its attraction to an ideology sociologically rooted in white supremacy.

In the meantime, speculation about the long-term shape of American politics should give way to a recognition of the seismic changes already underway. Something very major is happening to the electorate right now, and for the time being, we know exactly how it works.

tl;dr - the long-predicted (and long-ridiculed) Emerging Democratic Majority has emerged, every single one of the arguments against it has been proved false, people (especially in the GOP) seem to be in deep denial about this and really need to update their worldview in order to adapt to the new multiracial order.

From today's Alex Jones Show, a two and a half minute rant about the internet being sentient, rings of power and palantirs ("seeing stones" from the Tolkien books), and more. There's half a reference to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory wherein he interrupts himself and finishes the sentence with "squared to infinity!"

Download: http://www.sendspace.com/file/asw1jj

And the "news" that he mentions toward the end, as he asserts that most of the time he knows what the news is going to be even before it breaks, is hardly news. It's the title of an article posted on Gizmodo.com in July 2010 -- Seven People Have Been Entrusted With the Keys to the Internet -- and these keys don't seem to resemble the "rings of power" supposedly given to Apple and Microsoft, et al. See more on that here and here and here.

But seriously, do YOU understand what Alex was trying to say? Was he rational? Was he simply making a uniquely flavored word salad?

I'm going to assume that you aren't old because it's primarily old, wealthy whites, men in particular, that are lamenting the fact that whites won't be in charge by default anymore. Look at the voting records from the last election. Old, white dudes overwhelmingly voted for Romney but pretty much every other demographic pulled that level for Oblammo just as hard.

The thing I've asked Republicans I know time and time again is a simple question; I'm a guy with Slavic descent from a poor background. I'm a second-class white at best. There was a period of time I'd have starved if it wasn't for food stamps and if it wasn't for free government money I'd never be going to college right now. I'm a lot of things the GOP openly hates and Republican policy, if they had their way, would have left me starving to death an uneducated second-class citizen. I'm not a Christian either so "force everybody to follow God's law" just doesn't jive well with me. Why would I vote for a Republican in any election, ever?

They don't have an answer.

My only real worry about the Inevitable Demographics Tide thing is the lengths to which the Republicans seem willing to go to prevent their enemies from having any influence over elections at all. I can easily see this Supreme Court upholding some less egregious flavor of voter ID laws, for instance.

Pat Buchanan posted:

Yet the matter cannot be avoided now, for it is on page one. "White Numbers Shrink," was the headline on the lead story in USA Today. "More Whites Dying Than Being Born," blared The Wall Street Journal. What does this mean? In demographic terms, more white Americans died in 2012 than were born. Never before -- not during the Civil War bloodletting, not during the influenza epidemic after World War I, not during the Great Depression and birth dearth of the 1930s -- has this happened.

In ethnic terms, it means that Americans whose forebears came from Great Britain, Ireland and Germany, Southern and Eastern Europe -- the European tribes of North America -- have begun to die. The demographic winter of white America is at hand, even as it began years ago for the native-born of old Europe. In political terms, this is depressing news for the Republican Party. For nearly 90 percent of all Republican votes in presidential elections are provided by Americans of European descent.
