empty whippet box posted:$18 imo let's just go for not being broke I remember reading somewhere that if minimum wage was tied to inflation and productivity, it would be around d 21.00 an hour. Its late and I don't want to find my source. I'd rather UBI at something like 20k/year to everyone making 100k or less. Minimum wage is good as well, and 18-21 is a good target. Let's do both.

gently caress a maximum income limit. Communists want a maximum wage so everyone can be equally poor. Except for Party members, of course. Some people are more equal than others.

Let's try and drive a wedge between the people that think they are rich and the people that are truely rich. A restructuring of the income tax brackets is something that could really help the income inequality issue. Not like we don't need the revenue for UBI and MFA. Weird question, how would you feel about subsided minimum wage. Give some wage assistance to small companies that aren't publicly owned. If you're big enough to be public you can pay the God drat minimum on your own. Thoughts?

If we're talking pie-in-the-sky here, you'd probably want something like that to be paired with guaranteed employment legislation. Provide an absolute guarantee of meaningful (ie, something that provides useful skills/experience and that won't just look like a black mark on a resume) employment to anyone who wants it at a good wage. Employ those people in either government jobs or with businesses working with the government and meeting certain standards. Subsidize wages for businesses in the program if the businesses meet whatever criteria you want to use to define them as a "small business." Also you then get to watch the bottom rung of employers completely implode since they won't have a shot in hell of competing for low-end labor anymore.

It doesn't even need to be this onerous, imagine if all recreation programs could afford to pay their coaches and maintenance people. Hell I could put literally everyone to work if you gave me a sustainable budget for it. RuanGacho fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Sep 12, 2017 |

Given that Ted "People don't have the right to stimulate their genitals" Cruz and the rest of Christian conservatism are living one massive puritanical lifestyle lie, I can understand how someone like Cruz can convince himself that others really believe he's some kind of saint.

I was really betting on the excuse "My media intern messed up, please, he is young, don't harangue him too much." That's at least remotely believable. This whole "I googled 'porn' for my wife and this is definitely one of the first results" is bull if you think of it even a little.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:This past week and today have had a wave of potential congressional retirements. Following up on this: Republicans Fear Flood of Centrist Retirements ahead of 2018 Elections Conservative Shitrag Washington Examiner posted:Republicans have a 24-seat majority in the House. This includes 23 Republican-held districts Clinton won in the presidential election and 40 where Trump received less than 50 percent of the vote. A: Primary threats aren't alluded to anywhere in the article. Indication that the establishment may be pushing back on the fringe, hoping that reminding them of the risks will keep them from beating up swing-district incumbents. Ron Howard voice: It won't. B: They're still sore over the Healthcare Drama. This one's a shot at Ryan and the whip-it can't be lost on him that every retirement thus far is one of his Speaker votes. Even if they retain majority, losing just 15 centrists may be enough to cost him his gavel. C: Not quoted, but the retiring Ileana Ros-Lehtinen won her district by 9 despite Clinton taking it by nearly 20. That's insane.
