He also refers to God as "the deity."
That is the plan, however The Five is pulling bigger numbers at 5:00pm. Megyn is in no way conservative, in fact all the female conservatives on FNC seem to be socially un-conservative.
Obama guard dog OReilly needs to wise up and take note of the following fact concerning so-called national minimum wage. Other than the federal entities indicated in the Constitution’s Clause 17 of Section 8 of Article I which are under the exclusive legislative control of Congress, the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate a national minimum wage imo. Intrastate minimum wage is a 10th Amendment-protected state power issue.
All that the constitutionally indefensible federal minimum wage is is a way for corrupt federal politicians to win votes from citizens who have never been taught the Founding States’ division of federal and state government powers.
The apartheid government in South Africa instituted a high minimum wage. Was their intention to help the poor Blacks in South Africa earn a living wage? Oh no, the purpose was to make it easy to discriminate against the poor blacks and hire white workers instead.
So, BOR, higher minimum wages hurt the poor blacks in America as well. In fact, the bill to raise the minimum wage could be called "The Increase Black Unemployment Act".
If it was easy to hire someone at $30 per hour and make $35 per hour on their labor, I'd be doing it myself.
It's not that easy.
The high standard of living that people take for granted right now in the U.S. is due in great part to the fact that the U.S. has been busy doing the right things economically for over a hundred years.
During most of that time, the Chinese, the Russians, the Indians, and most of the thirld world has been struggling to feed their people while many experimented with Marxism.
Now many of these nations have wised up and are no longer tolerating the waste of human effort that plagued them for so long. At the same time, the U.S. has lost its way and taxes productivity to work their own experiments in Marxism.
There is no economic reason whatever to expect that the U.S. will continue to lead the world. In fact, there is no reason to believe that the standard of living in the U.S. will even hold its own. I would not be surprised to see the average income of people in the U.S. to DECLINE somewhat as a result of rising productivity throughout the rest of the world.
What economic factors can prevent the standard of living in the U.S. from matching that in China or India in the next ten or twenty years?
You don't believe that the "cost of living" has much bearing on the "standard of living", do you?
ooops
Do you think BOR will next suggest the Republicans do something about slavery and civil rights?
