I’ll think I’ll start by just treating my fellow humans as equals, no matter their political beliefs, instead of demonizing.

@John Doe

If you want to make the world a better place, sell half of your worldly belongings and give to the poor. Make it public. I’m sure northescambia would do a piece on that!
You too Bill. Then I will do with my hard earned money what I fill is wise.

@John, we socialists aren’t coerced. We voluntarily want to make the world a better place, as opposed to just looking out for ourselves. And the military is analogous of that.

John – socialism is an economic model that has nothing to do with how the military is populated. Volunteer or conscripted, it’s a publicly funded institution.

@Bill

Last time i checked we have an all volunteer military. Socialism does not work, and it never will. There is plenty of historical evidence to prove that.

Remember people you can vote your way into Socialism, but you will have to fight your way out!

I’m completely comfortable with that label, James. I’m also happy to point out that the most socialist institution in this country is our military which is also the backbone of our local economy.

For anyone who is unclear in the principles of socialism, @Bill gives a fairly accurate socialistic summation.

Raising the minimum wage barely impacts the cost of living. We don’t currently blame inflation on people making much more than the minimum wage because we’re programmed in America to blame the poor. People with barely enough money to buy the bare essentials obviously aren’t the ones driving up demand. However, people making over three times the minimum wage cause huge problems which include low income people being priced out of necessities like proper nutrition and shelter.

Also, if you can’t afford to pay living wages you shouldn’t be an entrepreneur. If you’re not paying living wages your business is a net loss to the community and deserves to fail. And when the minimum wage goes up, you will not be missed.

In economics 101 this is a floor. An artificial price that never works.
