How's the coursework in economics going? Figure anything out yet?


I was going to ask you the same question. I was really curious if you were ever able to find any time through history where minimum wages being raised to match the GDP hurt Society. Strange you never really could answer that

Lie?? Really?? Funny with the cuts I'll be getting i've hired one new employee already and probably two more before year end. Each position I hired have the potential to be in the six figure income range 3 yrs after their hire date.. And I'll continue to grow from there, because of a phone call from my accountant saying "hey there's an opportunity here" So again explain to me.. A small business owner how it's not working??


This isn't even a trickle down economy. My paycheck (paycheck meaning I work for someone else) got a nice bump from the tax cut. I'm better off already thanks to the direct benefit I received.

You know what didn't trickle down? The trillions of dollars OP's Lord and Savior gave to Wall Street and Big Insurance and green energy boondoggles.

Yeah you're right. frick:

Fire dept
Police
Military
Roads

Traffic lights

Maybe they can all just go move to the top of a mountain and get a giant Vault where they can swim in their money like Scrooge McDuck. No one has to bother them and they can just get a helicopter to fly them around wherever they need to go since there are no roads.

Keep defending the self-serving but they'll never actually give you anything for it

And ole Warren is in a billion dollar tax liability lawsuit with the IRS right now. I wonder why he just doesn't write the check?

Was never claimed.

It does, however, hurt those who make minimum wage more than else. Which has been proven to you time and time again.

Is gates advocating raising income taxes (I didn't click the cnn link)?

Bill Gates doesn't pay much in income taxes because he pays himself a nominal salary.

His company has taken advantage of tons of tax breaks.

So has Warren Buffett, both scenarios.

They can choose to change that, but they don't.

Their foundations are tax write-offs. They are globalists.

Pbhog supports fascism.

Bill Gates and other can donate to the world's largest charity, the US Government, at anytime. Anytime.

Talking the talk is not the same as walking the walk.

Put up or shut up.

Those all can operate with a fraction of the tax money currently spent.
