OMG that's gonna send a chill down Demcrap leaderships!!!!
Some of their supporters are wakign up to what's been done to them since LBJ!
IIRC, Rev. Meeks was strongly opposed to the redefinition of marriage bill that Madigan and Quinn foisted upon the state of Illinois.
Before that era, most blacks were still in the south, working as sharecroppers or casual laborers. They were attracted to the cities and industries by better wages. Their exit inspired all sorts of Jim Crow laws (the kind libtards won't tell you about) which made it illegal to recruit blacks to move to the cities.
Word got around anyway and it didn't work. The fundamental difference needs to be making entry level jobs pay better than collecting a government check. For that to happen, it isn't so much that the minimum wage needs to be raised as the benefits of collecting a government check needs to be lowered and, with it, some enforcement against the tide of illegal immigration which drives down entry level wages.
Its also clear that the republicans are the only ones doing any real good in Detroit.
If it weren’t for the GOP, Detroit wouldn’t have a police chief telling the people that they have a right and responsibility to arm themselves and fight back.
I know I’m cynical but what’s in their hearts? Will they take the GOP even further left? The way I see it, you can’t parcel-out values. It’s a package deal. You can’t espouse traditional marriage but seek to expand welfare. You can’t embrace equality while touting affirmative action. That’s how we got into this mess.
Republicans have always tried to help them...
The Republican Party was formed to stop the spread of slavery in 1854.
On May 22, 1856: For denouncing Democrats pro-slavery policy, Republican U.S. Senator Charles Sumner (R-MA) is beaten nearly to death on floor of Senate by U.S. Rep. Preston Brooks (D-SC), takes three years to recover.
January 31, 1865: 13th Amendment banning slavery passed by U.S. House with unanimous Republican support, intense Democrat opposition
Republican Party Support: 100%
Democratic Party Support: 23%
Yeah giving them freebies is exactly what I said. /s
When it comes right down to it the best way to help blacks is the best way to help America. Slash taxes and regulations to ease job creation.
The more people working, the more people get irritated about the welfare state.
Win win for the Democrat Party.
“For that to happen, it isn’t so much that the minimum wage needs to be raised as the benefits of collecting a government check needs to be lowered...”
One problem is the sheer number of benefits that people can collect simultaneously. Welfare alone does pay less than a job, but if you add in food stamps, housing subsidies, aid for dependent children, child care subsidies, utility subsidies, etc, then it puts you ahead. Especially if you have multiple moochers under one roof, combining their benefits while splitting expenses.
There needs to be a hard cap on total government benefits from all programs that any household can receive (excluding the disabled and elderly). So, once you reach that cap, applying for another subsidy won’t do you any good.
The Germans have a national policy to train and relocate workers to areas that are creating jobs. They don’t move until the job is guaranteed. It’s a hand up—not a hand out. RAT policy puts people on a shelf in a warehouse and sticks an IV in their arm to sedate them. Giving people real opportunity is the best medicine. Unfortunately, trying to take jobs to the people ignores how the economy actually works. So instead of 7 or 8 guys stuffed into a Model T heading to Detroit, why not facilitate the process? A win for labor. A win for business. A win for government.
Not only hugh but perhaps verge on being very hugh..............time will tell.
Yes and no. Bringing in huge numbers of unskilled and uneducated legal immigrants annually--1.1 million--to take jobs and depress wages is not helpful. Bush 41 doubled the number of legal immigrants. And Reps are supporting the doubling of guest worker programs.
