Obviously the fail comes from Kucinich and Coulter.

For someone with such an out and about anti drug stance Ann Coulter sure does sound like she's on something.

Quotewould your business suffer, really, joe?  If even poor people were making 22 bucks an hour?

Seems like you would have a lot more potential customers.

If he had reason to believe that, he'd already be paying his employees 22 bucks an hour on his own you pompous airhead!
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"

not just that, but it simply makes no sense. people don't go to restaurants because the boss is a nice guy. They go because they want to eat good food outside the house.

unless he means more people would work for him, which is still BS, since that would mean greater operating costs, which would tank such a business. assuming he would even make a profit with this kind of minimum wage ($22/Hour)

Shit, you think much higher of this guy than I do.  I thought he meant that since the minimum wage was higher, more people could afford to patronize his restaurant.  Nevermind that this would lead mass unemployment the likes of which this country has never seen...

ah, another option I haven't considered. In that case, it is still BS, because he'd also have to pay his workers that wage, and it would tank his business before he could enjoy the benefits of richer clientele. assuming inflation doesn't shoot up like a motherfucker, and as you say, it doesn't lead to mass unemployment, worse than what we have. (an assumption undermined by what actually happens in real life).

it's sometimes good when your dad's a businessman and general manager.  :P

yeah, the guy in that forum is an idiot.

As they say, a good economist sees the seen AND the unseen effects of a policy. This guy only seems to look at the seen (more money going into the hands of workers) but ignores the unseen (making the cost of hiring so expensive that the business fail and many workers being laid off etc).

That's the one question these folks won't answer because if they tried to, the jig would be up.

"If minimum wage works, why stop at 22$?  Why not make it 1000$ per hour and end poverty instantly?"

Much like what I say about socialized healthcare.  If it works, why stop at healthcare?  Why not socialize everything?

Quote from: AnarchadiaThe people who fund anarcho-capitalist ideoplogy including the World Bank, IMF and CIA should have all their money taken away from them, for promoting neo-nazism such as child slavery.

OH GOD MY SIDES!


The 99% need to grow up because this idea that the CEO just "has money" is a 5 year old's understanding of economics.

After reading the first paragraph of the above, specifically:

"Quick question: Do you know the difference between a liberal and a conservative? Wait, there's a catch. You can't say anything about religion or specific issues like abortion or gay marriage. Do you know the difference at their core? Don't feel ashamed if you don't -- most Americans don't. Here, let me help: At their most basic level, liberals believe that government is responsible for fixing social problems and ensuring equality for every citizen. They believe that "the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need." Conservatives believe in personal responsibility for our successes and failures, with a limited, smaller government."

I just stopped reading.  No further point.

QuoteThe Patriot Act would be GONE, if there were enough Democrats in the legislature to vote with Obama. When the next election is over, and Obama actually has legislative support in Congress, you will see a difference. A President can't eliminate The Patriot Act alone, Congress has to agree. and this Congress is REPUBLICAN controlled. Drones have been used for many decades, and under Bush, there were thousands of drone missions. The largest purchasers of drones right now besides the military are those who plan to use them in our cities for law enforcement. They save lives. They have been used for border patrol for years, and Bush used them VERY extensively, right along our American Borders. People act like Obama ''invented'' their use. Clinton had Bin Ladin in the sights of a drone when he left Office, but when Bush took over the mission, he cancelled the order to kill or capture Bin Ladin, who was a family friend of the Bush family and a partner of Bush in an oil pipeline investment.

Obama increased the drone attacks!

What about when Obama was elected in 2008? The democrats had the majority in the Senate and the House at that time you know.
