    Welfare vs. Working. Where's the incentive to work?

    Quote: Originally Posted by reefraff One problem with jacking up the minimum wage to "living wage" is you have to lift everyones wages that are within a few bucks of the new minimum.

    Quote: Originally Posted by TheClemsonKid See, I found something that says the opposite: The federal minimum wage remains $7.25 per hour, translating to a salary of about $15,000 for a full-time worker. If it had kept pace with inflation since its high in the late-1960s, it would now be more...

    Welfare vs. Working. Where's the incentive to work?

    And that will continue even with a minimu wage in crease. I shocks me that several here as businesses owners do not grasp this one simple concept. Minimum wage hurts the poor and keeps them poor. If minimum wage goes up...so does the cost of the cheapest goods. If minimum wage goes up 5% cost of...

    Welfare vs. Working. Where's the incentive to work?

    The deciding factor seems to be that you have people that have no skills or education who also have no desire whatsoever to try and better themselves.  They can either get a minimum wage job flipping burgers or make the same money by sucking off the goverment teat, so its no contest which one...

    Welfare vs. Working. Where's the incentive to work?

    I'm not sure about the incentive for most people, but personally, I do not see a life on welfare as being a desireable option. Don't get me wrong, I dislike working yet I work. I'm not working because I feel a moral obligation to work, I work to buy things and do things I like. Maybe that...

    Trump

    I think he is an idiot since given his status he could be a lot more successful, be at least he didn't waste over $50 million on losing candidates like Adelson did.

    Trump

    Speaking of Trump,... Mark Cuban (rich guy who owns the Dallas Mavericks) offered to donate $1 million to charity (he even said he'd go up to $2 million) if Trump would shave his head. Too bad Trump was to vain to take him up on the offer. Stephen Colbert also made a $1 million offer to charity...

    Trump

    I would expect a statement such as that from a Detroit Liberal. Denial? Hmmmm, check the demographics of New mexico, then remove your head from your butt. I have actually been to New Mexico more then I've been in Detroit

    STAR WARS RETURNS!!!

    I'm thinking they are gonna suck. Just saw a pic that had Mickey Mouse with a light saber and Donald Duck in storm trooper armor. Puked in my mouth a little at that one... That might still be a step up from Jarjar binks

    STAR WARS RETURNS!!!

    Normally I would say that Disney would ruin the series, but Lucas already did that.. I guess it will be interesting to see how this goes.

    Trump

    Maybe in any rational person's mind who is intellectually honest. If it's god's will when someone dies it stands to REASON it would also be his will as to when someone becomes pregnant. Would it also be god's will that Obama is president? And that Obama and Romney haven't released their college...
