Jumping in late here, but recently finished Tom Sowell's "Wealth, poverty and Politics". It is a truly enlightening view of poverty and wealth around the world and especially in the US. The author of this article would no doubt agree with Tom....
re: When did minimum wage become living wage?
Posted by RoyMcavoy on 6/7/17 at 3:54 pm
if i could jump in for a bit...i see that your discussion is contingent upon the absence of a MW. In that scenario i think a larger share of the folks on welfare rolls would be working. I say that because there are currently no jobs below the MW. If there is no MW, then there will be many more job...
re: When did minimum wage become living wage?
Posted by RoyMcavoy on 6/7/17 at 2:09 pm
Lets try to separate the intent of the MW and the effect of the MW...the intent of the MW is that no worker will earn less than a certain wage, while the effect of a MW is that no employment will exist below a certain wage. Do you think that is a good idea?

re: Identity Politics
Posted by RoyMcavoy on 6/6/17 at 10:41 am
historically speaking, in America, a group's political power has not led to economic improvement. In other words, there isn't much evidence in America to suggest that a lagging group must first attain some degree of political power in order to advance economically. In reality, quite the opposite is...

I fail to see what poverty has to do with morals. ...

Posted by RoyMcavoy on 5/5/17 at 11:11 am
Teaching is a job, therefore there is a labor market for this occupation.
Teachers will get paid what the market will bear. While it is false to say that every teacher currently earns the correct compensation based upon their production. It may be fair to say that teachers aren't actually qui...
