Minimum Rage

I know what it's like to hock the gold chain your grandmother gave you so you can eat. (I got it back and I'll die before I hock it again). I know what's like to choose between funding an insurance company or making a car payment. And most importantly, I know what a scam this whole world is. I do not pray at the alter of any "ism".

The whole Minimum Rape wage gets my blood boiling. I saw Fucker Carlson on TV asking why not let the free market decide? The free market had 12 year olds working in coal mines and no safety laws. Others are just flat our greedy like this guy I debated on Flavia's blog (the other jack ass's comments are in red italics):

The folks that will take $7.15 an hour won't include those who get fired because their labor is not worth that to the employer. No reputable economist supports the minimum wage increase. - Jack Davis

This is not a joke. Or a game. Or a time for airhead comments about "reputable economists" from those who pretend to be for workers. Money flows up, not down. People’s lives are at stake. In a practical sense, this feeds the economy. Businesses don’t carry excess labor.

In a moral sense, suppression of wages is nothing more than a RAPE of men, women and children across this country. Predators.

Mundo nulla fides! Money is a tool and a weapon. It us an unnecessary artifice we have deemed necessary. We speak of it as we should of love. We use it as a substitute for having faith in our Maker. As this world dies, you’ll see no sympathy from me. Burn, baby, burn.

[Responding to another commenter] Marc,
You said: "Anyone who decides to downsize or close up shop over a rise in the minimum wage did not have a viable business to begin with" That's just nonsense. Some small businesses cannot afford min wage hikes and close down. I've worked in many. You cannot repeal the laws of economics with wishful thinking. For some reason many liberals have their version of "Inteligent Design " in minimum wage; namely pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo. - Jack Davis

Blogging, arguing, commenting – it’s all meaningless in the eyes of God. It’s so hilarious how we perpetually believe that somehow God is dependent on us to know the truth. But, if you’re going to be a moron, at least be a competent moron.

Jack, dude, what an unskilled liar you are. The first comment with “reputable economists” was bad enough. You need to pretend somewhat to believe what you say! Try providing at least one quote from one of these famed economists. Make it look like you did some research and that you’re not just making the self-serving comment that you are.

The hole only gets deeper with your second remark. What a painfully obvious fabricated statement! Now, there may be a germ of truth that many businesses have shut down once you’ve worked for them. Incompetence does that. But do you think anyone’s really buying this? Then, like all liars, you embed your own confession: “You cannot repeal the laws of economics with wishful thinking.” Don’t include axioms that can be used against your own argument! The last line of your comment is such gibberish I can only conclude the drug of your choice was kicking in.

I know you think you were being smart using the tactic of “never give them anything specific to attack.” But, um, you weren’t (being smart, that is).

As long as we're stupid enough to let money rule our lives, we've got to minimize the damage it does until we wake up. Money is not important, we've just agreed to pretend it is.
