If you knew an obsolete military industry existed that was operational, but useless, would jobs alone be enough to support it?

Just to check your understanding of basic economics, what do you think would happen to the poverty rate if min wage was raised to a million a year?
that's less of a check on someone's understanding of economics and more of a demonstration of stupidity on the part of the person asking such a ridiculous question.

why? It shows a baseline understanding how economics work in a society. Are you the guy who thinks poverty would go away if min wage were a million a year? Please say yes.

I also notice our favorite racist sock-puppet likes a lot of your posts, kindred spirits and all that I guess.

I am not of the belief that disabled people are non-productive, some are, but I have a M.A. and worked my heart and mind until I could no more. It is commonly dismissed as such and is pure bullshit. I don't know enough to argue the nuances but I can see bullshit on both ends. If you want to empower the disabled or poor you must know that reality to be effective. It is ripe for a solution.
never said disabled people were non-productive, in fact, i've said the exact opposite. By non-productive I mean non-productive. I'm not a liberal so I don't speak in code and I'm not politically correct. You don't have to try to read into what I said to find out what I meant.

I've been poor, fortunately I had family I could live with until I straightened myself out. What my family would not allow however, was for me to not have a plan to rectify my situation. Those that don't have the family support I had need help from other avenues, but not in the form of raising the next 4 generations (like our war on poverty has done, think about that, 4th generation welfare, maybe we are doing something wrong). I believe in training programs geared toward someone's interest and ability. I also believe that if those avenues are open to you but you decide to be a leach anyway, we poor salt on you.

What is your stance? and why?
I don't know his stance, but you're a freeloader. That's why you're a progressive. So no, it's not generalizing what beenthere and Freedomworks says. In nature you'd be eaten. But that's not how humanity works. I'm polite, so I'll say it first. You're welcome.

Actually, guns were the topic turbo. Nature eats me all the time. People like you are incapable of so much higher reasoning.....it is unfortunate. Ironically, if you said that to me in person I assure you would be applying for disability once they reattached your tongue.

Now that's funny. You can beat me up, but can't get off your lazy ass long enough to find a job. Progress for the win!

Almost all the progressives I know are either unemployed or are working minimum wage jobs.
The majority of them are under 30 yrs old.
Thanks to old conservatives who broke the economy!

Smart phones and social networking seem to be the most important thing in their lives.
Everyone of them think they are entitled to everything.
They want free healthcare, free education and free government handouts.

They all have a lot to say about how our country should be ran, but really, what do they contribute?
Fun facts:

States run by conservative are more poor than democratically led states. Red states are generally the "takers" everyone complains about. Liberal states have to pay for the poor ignorant conservative states. Welfare is used more often in red states than blue states.

I leave you with this to think about:

Your problem not mine. Blame your parents for faulty genetics. My parents were losers on the dole like you. But I overcame.
You became a twit who trolls disabled people that got injured in a car accident. Fuck off. Stem cells will cure this and we will see who the loser really is.

People like me are the ones who do that research. My tax dollars pay for that, you don't even say thanks. You think I owe you. I don't owe you shit, pal. You're an ungrateful twit. Again, you're welcome.

I'm a germ? I'm self sufficient. My wish is I could play ball like A-Rod. But I settle for writer. You settle for stealing my money.
Dude You don't have any money to steal.
You admitted to receiving EARNED INCOME TAX...big sign that you make under 32,000 a year. You do also understand that when you receive EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT you are getting FREE money from your government. Don't sound to self-sufficient to me. In short you don't even pay taxes. Do you need me to link your quotes about what you have said in the past ???
