Quoting: darkade When in any post did I say or admit to buying things from fast food? Are you just assuming because thats all you can do is assume? Maybe you should go back and read my posts instead of trying to personally attack me. I stand behind workers, not companies. That's even worse. You don't even have any experience to back up your claims. I and others that have been posting about this, do. I've worked PLENTY of shitty minimum wage jobs in my life and I always had my eyes on the horizon. A BETTER career. I never expected the job I had when I was 16 to be my life's work. Your either a kid who dosen't know any better or an adult who should by now. Have you ever had a job? Oh i've worked numerous minimum wage jobs, just never in fast food. I was actually getting paid minimum working as a manager, worked my ass off and finally found better work. You have to realize age varies within every job market, to say theres only teenagers working in fastfood is ridiculous. Everyone looks for a better career with better pay, are you dense? *sigh* you're exhausting. Never mind. You're right, everyone deserves to make at least 30,000 a year with no education or training. Then we can all pay twice as much as we did before for everything. That will put the country back on the right track. Don't let the parasites suck your energy, man... commies gonna commie.

| Phennommennonn (OP) Forum Administrator 07/29/2013 08:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | what ppl dont understand is.....a living wage.....aint gonna happen. why? Quoting: Phennommennonn the federal reserve system - the Fed has a lock on the economics world. Not sure that I understand that with, say, a gold standard, fast food would pay much more in real terms. It's still unskilled or low-skilled work, done partly by high school students, and also partly by illegal immigrants. You'll never be able to get a lot of stuff in exchange for that sort of labor. know the history of the fed. I do, pretty well. Most would say very well, although I am sure Ben Bernanke knows it better than I do! Please go ahead and explain what part of the history of the Fed backs up your argument, if you would please. cmon...you should know this shit....and if you dont - start here, and keep going til your head explodes like wylie coyote after a dynamite stick blowup After the war ended, the Truman administration tried to continue price-wage controls, as well as its control over Fed monetary policy. However, in the mid- and late 1940s, Congress abolished most controls, then passed a resolution that reintroduced the principle of “independence” into Fed policymaking. The resolution emphasized that the Fed would be responsible for monetary policy and the U.S. Treasury for fiscal policy, and that “they should stay out of each other’s backyards.” It also charged both bodies to aim toward the goals specified in the Employment Act of 1946— that is, to “considerations relating to [policies’] effects on employment, production, purchasing power, and price levels.” Fed and Treasury officials ratified this congressional mandate in the famous “accord” of March 1951. Around the same time, President Truman appointed William Mcchesney Martin chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. [link to www.econlib.org] The Federal Reserve sets the nation's monetary policy to promote the objectives of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. [link to www.federalreserve.gov] political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. |

No , no I am not calling for unchecked wage increases. I am calling for an end to unfair trade agreements that started all this to began with. I also think the Anti trust laws need to be enforced, Corporate wealth should be checked and rolled back. Anytime large amounts of wealth end up in a few hands it is a direct threat to the nation and democracy. Unchecked wealth leads to Oligarchy. Everytime...... I called out a globalist, I did not pussy foot around with it. He is a self admitted globalist, he hires outside of the USA and sells in the USA. He is a parasite and in the end, WE the taxpayers will pay for his lack of long term business sense. That's right, we ALL have to foot the bill for the unemployed and starving Americans that cant get a job because they are all overseas. Bring back tariffs, that will end the globalist profit making on the backs of the American workers and taxpayers. Last Edited by Sivaro on 07/29/2013 09:13 PM |
