This doesn't surprise me. Neocons are socialists.

Billy O is a true neocon? I was under the impression that he's just a propaganda tool for real neocons. I'm pretty sure Billy doesn't have the smarts required to be a "quality" neocon. Like the rest of MSM, he's an intellectual lightweight (and that's being nice).

I don't know what Bill Orwelly really is; I only said that neocons are socialists. I think either way my statement can work.

Sorry but emotions trump facts in this world.

O'Reilly is a big 'ol leftist. An authoritarian and a moralist, to boot. He tricks a lot of people, but if you listen to him very long, you can see what he really is. I would imagine his audience are a lot of the Democrats who became Republicans during the Reagan "revolution". The Rockefeller-Republicans would like him too, I suppose.

Republicans are going to have to end up conceding as this is gaining too much support from the public. It won't be 10.10, but it will end up being sold as a 'bipartisan deal'.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Oh hell, just give everyone $1000/hour and call it a day. YAY. Money for everyone.

 

[DamianTV]

Bill O'Really should "Wise Up" and see that without an Honest Money System that raising the Minimum Wage is meaningless in the long run.

 

[bunklocoempire]

He don't need no history lesson now y'hear?

Ah, but raising it by a $1 or two, every once in a while, earns them brownie points and votes for caring. A large payout would show the real affect and the chimps would certainly get a glimpse of reality...this would cause a mass feces throwing episode inside the cage.

That'd be one helluva mess for the keeper to clean.

I think the problem with the minimum wage is mainly in raising it. It's probably far worse to raise it by a large jump than to raise it by increments of less than 10 cents that don't occur too frequently. If they're smaller it's easier for the economy and employers to adjust to the change.

Another problem is when these minimum wage increases come along randomly. If it was raised in a regular and predictable manner, employers would be able to budget, prepare, and brace for the upcoming change more easily.

Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if a law were passed that limited how frequently and by how much the government can raise the minimum wage, for example when done by executive orders to contractors that do business with the government.

These machines don't show up late. They don't call in sick. They don't require payroll taxes, or witholdings... or continuous paperwork.
They work 24 hours a day without complaint.
One human can oversee 8 of these terminals at a time easily.

 

[Superfly]

GOP should wise up and extend unemployment another 99 weeks. GOP should wise up and continue to pump funny money into the economy. GOP should wise up and subsidize corn. GOP should wise up and centralize education. Oh wait, the GOP has mostly been ok with all of these things.

Apparently "wise up" just means more central economic planning.

 

[gwax23]

What a moron.

Yeah, the old folks who saved up all their lives just get the rug pulled out from under em sooner than usual. When money loses it's value because incomes keep increasing, those stuck on a fixed income are screwed.

 

[brushfire]

What a pinhead...

Agreed. You should choose your battles, this is not the hill you want die on.

$50.00hr!

G-ahead, I dare you.

 

[oyarde]
