My savings was no Fed taxpayer contributions to PP.
You are free to support with your own money and it's your right.
You can start with welfare and food stamps. How much do you think we pay for all of the unwanted children? All the programs the right wingers complain about. Penny wise and pound foolish.
Did this answer your question?
The weakness of your position is that it seems to me the Dems want to scarifice the black babies and replace them with other minorities sneaking into the country.Many of those sneaking in also end of on welfare.
Dems prefer Brown over Black ?

I separate birth control from abortion. I'm pro-birth control but not to the extreme of abortion.

Why not voluntary sterilization and pay a $5000 or more bonus for it ?

Repeat voluntary not forced.

Too much for so late. Let's break it down later. I have a problem with this Dems,scarifice, black,brown, abortion stuff. Let's just start with our tax money, if that is OK.

So you classify me as a facsist because I point out LEFTY has had numerous opportunities since 1975 to COLA the minimum wage but won't as it is voter turnout tool used frequently by LEFTY ?
So truth telling is a facsist tool...O.K. if you say so.
If the minimum wadge was $900 per hr.....the low living trash that sucks their living off people that work wouldn't look for a job anyway.....the damn government has taken away their incentive to work. Mainly the dumbocratic party.

Putting us in chains is exactly what Romney/Ryan would do to us; at least to those of us who have to work for a living.
No use to put you in chains you are already on welfare. You will jump when spoken to. You have to or go to work.

You tell me ?

Thirty-three % of all abortions are of black babies. About 4% are of other minorities . Blacks make up about 13% of the U.S. population and " Other minorities " make up about 20%.

So you tell me who is smoking what ?

Margaret Sangers was known to bring race into the abortion arguement especially when speaking in the Segregated South.

It's funny that Palin's "stupidity" was such a reason not to vote for McCain by members of the left four years ago, but now suddenly the person a heart beat away from the Presidency really doesn't matter.

Think about it for a moment... Could you even imagine Biden serving as our nation's head of state? Talk about being the laughing stock of the world!

<quoted text>So what level is acceptable ?$50.00 an hour ? And what happens to employment when the costs of production increases due to the increase to $50.00 an hour ? It is not just the manufacturer costs increasing, it is the business that also supplies the raw material for the finished product. It is the increased costs of delivering the finished product. Then there is the increased cost of advertising the product. The snowball effect is never ending. Even the unions demand more and more. The cycle does not end. What happens to the price of goods due to the increased labor costs ? Double, triple, etc, etc.?
It is a historical fact that every time the minimum wage is increased, employment goes down and prices of goods and services increase.
Yep, executives earn more but they exist in fewer numbers than the minimum wage worker so that tidbit doesn't compute and is meaningless to the overall economy. When anyone could buy a 6 pack of coke for 25 cents, what was the minimum wage ? Was was the price of gasoline per gallon in the 50's ? Minimum wage ? Prices always and always will increase to the available money supply and in the U.S. there is an amble supply of fiat money.
If what you say is correct, then the opposite should be true. Here is a great idea. Cut wages to $0.50 per hr. by your way of thinking that decrease should cut unemployment to around 2% in 6 mo. The reason a minimum wage was put in place and the reason there are unions now is because companys were making multi millions, and pay their workers next to nothing. Saying nothing about the conditions coal miners were working in. If companies had treated workers right there wouldn't be a minimum wage or an union. On the coke thing, in 1964 I could buy 26 cans of coke for an hr. labor. When I retired I could buy 60 cans of coke for an hr. labor. mmmm let me see which would I rather have. A great cause in unemployment is automation. Something as simple as a radio station. In most cases they are completely computer operated. Very little labor needed. Just think about the auto industry, all the bells and whistles used to build cars with very little labor.

Ok how much do you think the minium wage is paid for the automation? There isnt a minium wage in the oiher countries that the US companies have to compete with? Face it there is a larger supply of labor than there is demand. that means its isnt gonna get better for the working class. The fact is employers must treat employees as a tool to get the job done. And whatever tool that gets it done the cheapest will be used. It dont matter who is elected or how much money is spent on things like the Obama stimulus. the USA is in decline things are gonna continue to decline. If you dont like the wages your paid quit. Start your own buisness and pay yourelf however much you can.

IF YOU MAD YELL AT THE RICH..........STOP HURTING THE WORKERS SO THE RICH CAN HAVE MORE..........
Pure nonsense is your math.

Quote "At most big companies the top 10 paid office workers make mroe then All the hourly wage they employ." If a company is big enough to employ 10 office workers, the normal ratio for a large company to office workers would be over 100 to 300 hourly wage employees to one office worker (if the business is to remain in business, it has to be realistic in office compensation). Yea, an office worker may earn 10 to 20% more than someone in the field but not in the same earning capacity as the CEO.
You do the math and educate yourself and stop pretending you KNOW the inner workings of a company.

You really are clueless !

Don't like the wages? I don't know about you but most of us have a habit that is a little hard to break. Its called eating. If you have a job today, you hang on to it. Employees are not tools, they are people treated like tools. Employees us tools to get the job done, and it's true, the cheaper a company can get the job done the more money they can put in their pocket, while treating their employees like tools. The catch there is, tools don't eat or need meds or a warm place in the winter. On the stimulus thing, Ryan worked hard to stop the stimulus package while all the time getting over $20,000,000 and talking about how much it helped. TWO FACED... GM the largest auto builder in the world right now. Here is true trickle down, rubber co. battery co. glass co. fabric co. do I need to go on. Lots of those people pay tax, not just the auto companys paying back their loans.

I used to depend on others to provide my work and my income. So to have job security I did thigs that made me indespensible . When I repaired the machinery I rigged it so nobody else could understand how it worked and if it broke down nobody else could fix it. Then I learned my well being wasnt dependent on other people things or conditions. I now have my own buisnesses. Some dont do much more than swap nickles, some make a fair profit. When I had two employees I lost money. Ill never be burdened with employees ever again. Any way I kept a part time job in the trucking industry for many years. I quit that last fall. Im old enough to draw social security but havent even signed up. Im making much more than the $14000 that you can earn. Your wrong about the stimilus much of it went overseas. Today more people than ever are drawing food stamps and are working less and earning less. We need the goverment to start being fiscally responsible. How long can the US goverment keep borrowing 40 cents of evey dollar that it spends?

So Churm, you think or thought you are/were indespensible? I have worked with men what thought they were also, and saw them drop dead on the job. Guess what? That factory didn't miss a beat. I did the same as you. I had my own business but I paid the people that worked with me well. Sure it cut into my bottom line, but it was fun to watch those guys families have things they otherwise wouldn't. I guess, when I die, I'm not taking much with me anyway. By the way, I'm not wrong about the stimilus. Ryan sure did try to stop it and then wrote 5 letters or at least signed them to get stimilus money, and did get more than $20,000,000. That is on paper and he denied it. The man flat out lied. I'll take Biden in the #2 spot over Ryan any time.

Not so ! Cutting the minimum wage in todays world to 50 cents an hour is foolish. Even having a minimum wage is stupid. People should be compensated according to their productivity and not by what the govt. says that they are worth per hour. We got into the mess we are in now since the govt. tells companys what to pay their workers without having a clue as to what their worth is in productivity. Over paying American workers reduces employment since productivity has not improved.

Long story short. Fewer quality items produced in America due to increased costs with increased retail prices to compensate. Fewer workers that are buying cheaper products manufactured offshore is the end result. The more items purchased from offshore reduces even more the items manufactured and sold in America which results eventually in fewer jobs.

Plz be explicit on what is propaganda or a lie.

Sanger's bios are all over the net from a multiple of sources.

Even the radical black Angela Davis had serious concerns with Sangers writings and speeches.

Sorry dude, but I don't need Fox news to understand economics. How far do you actually get in school ? Stop bashing the successful, extend your abilities with education and stop crying in your beer about the ones that are carrying their weight, and you might be able to exceed expectations.
I (being the productive) do not owe you anything and when you come to that realization, you might achieve your dreams.

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Pisces

You're raring to go today, especially on domestic projects. You'll achieve a tremendous amount if you're allowed to proceed at your own pace and in your own time, but you'll soon get ratty if you suspect someone is breathing down your neck or trying to tell you what to do. You'll also feel irritated with people you know really well, so be prepared for a few fireworks.
