Make education free and I see no reason for a garbage collector to earn any less than a surgeon. A working community is serious business, it isn't a joke. You should have a person best suited to being a surgeon a surgeon, and one who would happily collect garbage and concentrate on family life if they earned as much as a surgeon.
Since the only intrinsic justification for a differential wage establishment is the cost of schooling, make it free and then level wages for all workers in all industries.

Sure the only downside is the only car make would be a Ford, no Ferraris but don't you get it, the people who really deserved a Ferrari in the first place would modify their Fords in the garage to perform and seem like a Ferrari. This is what people do anyway, it's just without nepotism and socioeconomic circumstance on your side, the world is against you. How is that a good thing, unless you're not the one on the bottom rung?

The way it is now what you are compelled to do is minoritize to elevate. And that's what causes all, all, all of the problems.

Me thinks that has been tried before,and they haven't recovered from that INSANE Experiment yet!

What is everyone's thoughts on the group protesting to get paid $15 to work at McDonald's?

I'm on the fence.. It bothers me when able bodied people are on welfare, when they CAN work at McD's but @ 7 or 8 an hour...you a make more on welfare.
I just don't know?


it means that MD's will have to raise their prices on everything...

goodbye md's...lol


Not just MickyD, all of them. First, if Odumbo has his way the minimum wage would go to $10.10. Then the unions will get involved, after all why stop at $10 when the union is promising $15.

And then by some estimates, the BigMac would go up by 67 cents or let's just say $1. Now realisticly, just how many people would stop at the door and say I'm not going to pay an extra $1, maybe 2. Not too long ago you could get a BigMac meal for under $4 now it is over $7, so just who is going to complain about a $1? Nobody, they will just shrug it off and say it's for a living wage and then "Super" size it.

For what it's worth, in the USA, an individual state can have a minimum wage that is higher than the federal minimum wage, and an individual city can have a minimum wage that is higher than the federal minimum wage.


For what it is worth, no they can't. They only think they can under the color of law. Just where in the constitution does it give them that authority?


Try the 10th Amendment.

First, there is no such thing as free, somebody has been robbed. And we already have a large population of trained and indoctrinated monkeys that can't figure out how to make a living but on average owe about $29,400 in student loan debt.

So if this mass indoctrination is implemented, what would be the difference, someone sticking their hand in my pocket for the $29,400 for each of the new idiots.

Wow, what will the entitlement crowd come up with next, welfare?

And what about the 10th Amendment.


Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.


This confers absolutely no powers to any of the government, federal or state. This is just a restriction on the Federal government that they only have the enumerated powers within the constitution, nothing more.

So absolutely wrong. But you see a very powerful amendment did remind the government just where they stood in regards to the people:


Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.


And I keep all of mine.
