No amount of gimmicks will fix this turkey!

The way to get people earning more is to remove the unproductive jobs (government pencil pushes and nose gazers) and encourage productive jobs (don’t tax them so much).

This is looking libertarian, believe it or not.

Why so stingy? Make it $100,000 an hour and we’ll all be rich! Government waves its magic wand and abolishes the laws of economics. Biden must be vying for Boob of the Year.

Question...is he really that stupid or he is sly and conniving and understands what all demagogues have about what appeals to the ignorant.

Dear Joe:

No, it won’t. A real economic recovery with actual job growth, however, will enable millions of people to feed themselves without the nanny state interference.

Just like 2 blasts off the porch from a double-barreled shotgun is the Biden-approved way to defend you home.

And jobs that PRODUCE things. The army of paper pushing busy bodies that is most US government today is not such! You want rich men’s money? Well, make something to sell to the rich men! Pencil pushing busy bodying is NOT such an item!

If Joe was a light he’d be on the dashboard of an Edsel.

That is the RESOLUTE DESK, fashioned from the timbers of the British warship HMS Resolute. It was a gift from the British to President Hayes in 1880. The Moron-n-Thief HATES the Brits due to his delusional fabrication about them having imprisoned and tortured his father when Kenya was still a British colony. That's BS on two levels: It never happened and FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS (his biological baby daddy) was NEVER IN KENYA!

So will shutting down 99% of the Federal bureaucracy, since so few of them have any foundation in the Constitution.

Raising the min wage will create more poor people dependent on the Gov for
food stamps and child support. No wonder the RATs want it so badly.

Joe Biden: Raising Minimum Wage Will Empower And Feed Millions Of Americans

If by empower you mean send millions more to food stamps and unemployment, then yes, yes you're right, you plagiaristic moron! Why does Joe always come off as the child that ate the lead paint chips off the window sill?

Why does the left have such difficulty with the simplist of simple concepts?: If you want to sell more of something, make it cheaper. Put another way: if you want more people working, make labor cheaper. If you want less people working, make labor more expensive. If you can’t sell your car or house, how many people would respond to that by raising the price? Well...apparenlu Joe Biden would.

On a larger macro-econmic scale, when the economy is good, labor has the advantage and that’s when they are positioned to ask for more money becuase their service is in demand. When the economy is weak, business has the advantage. Today, however; , the economy is weak. This means labor is at a disadvantage and business can be more choosey and pay less.

The government, by raising the minimum wage, is putting labor at even more of a disadvantage. I know this is egg-head stuff, but someone better break out the econ 101 book in the Democratic party because this concept completely escapes them.

Here’s another story. A city owned golf course where I live wasn’t making enough money and was close to going out of business. To try to survive and close the financial short-fall gap, they raised their prices on the customers who were showing up. Of course, the higher prices meant even less play (shock!!!) and they went out of business.

A city with even one brain cell in their collective head They would have lowered prices, got increased play, and stayed in business, but again ....Democrats don’t understand that by lowering prices, they would have had more customers which would mean more money, but also more work....which they didn’t want to do. They did not understand another obvious fact: when the economy is weak you have to work harder for the dollar....not make it harder for the customer to pay you for your product.

I’m certain the minimum wage will be raised. Less people will then be emplyed as a result. The Dems will react by giving more government money away....and the world will keep on turning...until the financial colapse hits...which will be blamed on big business....naturally.

Can we please get a leader in this country who can explain what I just wrote above (and other points) to the dunderheads who make up the voting population!! It’s desperation time and no one knows or even cares because....well.....the government is handling it....even though they aren’t.

Ughhh!!! I’m depresed.

In sales I have made between $900 and $40,000 a day. On the flip side, I was guaranteed exactly NOTHING if I didn’t make a sale.
