    Why not just raise it to $100 an hour? That way everyone can be rich. Isn’t that what laws are for-to create a perfect world?

    Why, those stingy politicians could make it $200 an hour if they really had any compassion for the poooooor.

    Instead of handing our an occasional fish, maybe the goverment should try teaching people to fish. That way they could feed themselves instead of being dependent on the government to keep providing cost of living adjustments to a poverty level that will never go away.

    The government has no business teaching anyone how to fish. The best motivators known to man are cold, hunger, and nakedness. Let anyone of these kick in and the local fish population will be endangered soon enough.

    I am sure you and your buddy, Faust, would prefer to a return to slavery or indentured servants.

    au contrare Monsieur Faust. While I agree with you in principle, none of the natural motivators you mention have worked with a segment of our population. People need to learn it’s their responsibility to earn their keep. Government has a responsibility to avoid burdening productive members of society by paying artificially inflated costs for goods and services. Throwing more money at a poverty level only sustains it.

    Oooh, you’re soooo enlightened. Sorry, but prefer freedom to welfare. that hardly makes us favor slavery. You favor slavery – to the government, either on the part of people who are dependent on it for their sustenance or because they spend five months a year working just to pay their tax bill. Reeetard.

    I think that I agree with the part of your statement that is coherent, Mel.

    Faustie……….you disappoint (but don’t surprise) me by reverting to moronic name calling when someone challenges your position. Shame on you. I don’t recall anyone appointing you to judge or criticize peoples comments. Get some class please.

    Are you the hall monitor or what? Melissa said that I want people to be slaves because I’m opposed to the govt telling private businesses how much to pay their burger flippers and floor sweepers. Why not rag on her?
