More Than 500 Economists Sign Letter Against Minimum Wage Hike

[Rob Roy]

If that's the case, there should be no minimum wage laws period.

That would be absolutely horrific.

How is freedom to engage in consensual interactions horrific? Please explain.

 

[Rob Roy]

ahhhhhh, but herein lies the issue..40% of those in minimum wage positions are a combination of high school graduate/some college/college graduates..40%

why are college grads working for minimum wage?

hello?..job creators?..please answer this..

The increase in supply of ahem "college grads" has devalued them. Don't you have a basket weaving class you're late for?

 

[budleydoright]

Then I will assume you meant as well to say falsely accusing someone of racism is a vile act since you stated you agree with the words.

I will assume you are not attempting to twist things away from a serious issue
in order to further an agenda.

What I meant was, one proclaiming that they are not racist, does not mean one isn't.

I'm white, blonde/blue irish. Never thought of myself a racist in any way shape or form. My parents would kick my ass if they ever heard any of us use racial slurs.

I never thought I was a racist until my sister in law brought home a black man and had a baby with him. There's no hate there. It just freaked me out. I really had to dig down deep to find out why. Come to find out I had this notion, deep down inside me that I was more entitled to the finer things in life than he was. I was jealous of some of his success and felt I should be doing better than him. Many feelings and thoughts I simply have not had before suddenly came to the surface.
Don't get me wrong. I always liked and respected this man, I just had this thing I had to work through and realized I'm not quite the man I thought I was.

Now I am fortunate enough to have a beautiful niece that has taken me to a much better place inside and I try to model myself after her father, as he is one of the best dads I have known.

Until this time, I would have denied having a racist bone in my body.

Relax, what you experienced is more classism than racism. I got engaged to a black woman. I kept it from my mother for a while. Finally she found out, only this very second do I suspect I know how, shit, what an asshole my brother is. At any rate, my mother was livid... until she found out that my soon to be wife's family was filthy rich. Oh, THEN everything was just fine.

hello?..job creators?..please answer this..

blaming immigrants is a low hanging fruit but there is some truth in competing against 1 billion indians AND 1 billion Chinese, NTM the Malaysians et...
These areas are HIGHLY competitive and have the culture, work ethic, study habits that lure American businesses...These people are willing to come here and be engineers, doctors, et at a much lower wage... The work visa system has been somewhat corrupted and let be real, international competition for professional jobs has been driving down 4yr degree wages

I would have thought thew same, He's not my only brother inlaw. Didn't feel that about the one that married my sis.

damn you lefties are STUPID

the human brain has developed over MILLIONS of years, and 40 years of lefty liberal whitewash cannot overcome that history.

humans are small tribal critters living in a massively complex society.

your brain EXPECTS your females to find a mate from the tribe just over the hill, not from those crazy motherfuckers 5 hills over, not from among the swamp people, and certainly not from the degenerate forest people or those dangerous tundra dwellers.

human society and the human brain strive to maintain social continuity, as a survival mechanism. your shock at discovering one of your own breeding with a person from a foreign society is natural, and understandable, especially for somebody from a dominant society.

only brain damaged idiots would blithely accept those from a successful tribe adopting the ways of a failed and tribe and thats what your brain was telling you. your new "in-law" may be as Cliff Huxtable as a motherfucker, but his skin still screams "Failure" so the primitive parts of your brain are screaming "hit him on the head with a rock and give your sister to Atook, or even Lar."

this reaction is NORMAL, and when Cliff Huxtable finds himself around people who expect, by virtue of his blackness, that he is part of THEIR tribe, he will get a huge ration of shit about his "snowflake", especially from that tribe's females.

what you are experiencing as a secondary emotion over your primary reaction is White Guilt, a symptom of liberalism and acceptance of a destructive social meme.

your initial reaction may not have been racist, but White Guilt sure as fuck is. White Guilt is the most dangerous and destructive racism ever developed. might wanna look into scrubbing White Guilt from your psyche.

The swamp people? You need to watch Quest for Fire. Good swamp people breeding scene. Gene pool expansion and all that shit.

hate to break it to ya, but the line evolutionary racism that you espouse has been long debunked. shitcanned a long time ago.

racism is not innate, it is learned.

and your railing against white guilt reeks of white pride.

Point made. Thanks

White guilt, lol!

 

[UncleBuck]

Point made. Thanks

the emotions you described seemed more like resentment than guilt to me.

but i am not a PhD, i am not even an internet doctor, like kynes is.

 

[Dr Kynes]

such a fundamental failure of intellect is expected from a Party School Dropout.

the "resentment" was his initial, natural, instinctive reaction to discovering his sister has mating with a member of a radically different tribe.

the GUILT is the unnatural, liberal-induced self-destructive emotion he experienced AFTER realizing his initial adverse reaction to his sister mating with a member of a foreign tribe.

but then thats probably pretty complex for a simple creature such as yourself.

if you actually wanted more information, you would google "Desmond Morris" and "The Human Animal".

but you wont bother to do that.

I think one of the forum members is a bit fearful of debating the good doctor. Perhaps because he is always proven a fool.

i suspect that deep down you may in fact be a human being.

you are not nearly as petulant and self-deluded as some of the more trollish posters.
