Just because Robert has a conscience and you obviously don’t, is no reason to belittle him. They are starving because nobody gives a damn. I know you don’t. You only care about the rights of the fabulously wealthy.
Thanks for the (name removed by moderator)ut, Christine.Just because Robert has a conscience and you obviously don’t, is no reason to belittle him. They are starving because nobody gives a damn. I know you don’t. You only care about the rights of the fabulously wealthy.
Zoltan what are you thinking?
I wonder if the Wealthy are good to eat.Excuse me Mickey while I jump in here. Your mention of “defenders of the wealthy” caught my interest.
Not to get to far off the topic of the thread but you might find this an interesting argument…re. “taxes on the workers as opposed to the wealthy”
In a spirit of fairness, I propose that everyone be allowed to vote in accordance with their taxes. In other words: “one vote for every dollar paid in taxes”.
Since history teaches us that all the great Democracies collapsed as soon as people realized that they could vote themselves money from the government…I think my “one vote for every dollar paid in taxes” idea would be a great way to prolong our way of life.
Oh sure, the wealthy would have more votes than the workers, but what’s wrong with that? The wealthy have a greater interest in government and a lot more to lose.
When voting, the wealthy would always have the worker’s best interests in mind. The dependent class, of course, would have no vote (they don’t pay taxes). But that would be a good thing, also. They could not vote for more welfare. Thus making themselves productive and rising above poverty.
Zoltan thinks the truth…
Then I will join you in prayer.They are starving because of greed.
What am I doing? I pray.
LOVE!
Thank you, Christine!!!Just because Robert has a conscience and you obviously don’t, is no reason to belittle him. They are starving because nobody gives a damn. I know you don’t. You only care about the rights of the fabulously wealthy.
Zoltan you must be kidding when you post these things. There is no other explanation for you posting them. Certainly you know that anything associated with the “Mises Institute” carries a heavy Libertarian stain.
If you can’t trust writers who are libertarian, and you can’t trust writers who are liberal, then just who can you trust?
This is another area where we differ, Robert.
It’s true, Micky, I do like to kid around. Sometimes I forget to include a little smile face and sometimes I forget to use the “sarcastic font” My bad!
I could not agree with you more…
I read an interesting book entitled “City of Joy”, written by a western doctor who spent some years in the slums of Calcutta. Massively worse living conditions than 19th century American conditions. And yet, the people working in those slums of Calcutta, some of whom slept on the street, were there in order to gain a better living than they had in the countryside.
As I mentioned elsewhere, those living in poverty in America very often experience great stress, pain and suffering as a result of not being able to make ends meet. It’s needless suffering that increasing the minimum wage would greatly help alleviate.
Opinions vary as to whether it would help or hurt. It’s far from a certainty that it would be helpful to poor people.As I mentioned elsewhere, those living in poverty in America very often experience great stress, pain and suffering as a result of not being able to make ends meet.

I can see where one needs to assess the person’s character. Giving people money to purchase drugs or excessive alcohol is a bad idea. But the person living in poverty with good character deserves much help.

I wholehearted agree. It’s a big problem that I’m sure child advocates are well aware of.
Ridge?
